Cavalier County amends floodplain ordinance to comply with SB 2027 after brief hearing
Summary
The Cavalier County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution Feb. 3 amending the county Floodplain Management Ordinance to comply with state law SB 2027 following a brief hearing; the amended ordinance will be filed with the county Emergency Manager.
The Cavalier County Board of Commissioners approved a resolution on Feb. 3, 2026, to amend the county Floodplain Management Ordinance to comply with SB 2027 after a brief hearing recessed into at 8:45 a.m. and closed at 8:55 a.m.
Commissioner Nick Moser moved to open the hearing and later moved the resolution to adopt the amendment; both motions carried (seconded and recorded in the minutes as indicated). The county minutes record that the amended ordinance will be filed in the Emergency Manager’s office, which is identified in the minutes as the county’s appointed Floodplain Manager. The minutes do not record any public testimony during the hearing. The transcript notes only that the hearing was opened and closed; the minutes show "motion carried" but do not provide a roll-call tally.
The change was presented to bring the county ordinance into alignment with SB 2027, as stated in the minutes. The commission did not record further detail about substantive changes to specific ordinance language in the minutes provided. The next procedural step in the record is the filing of the amended ordinance with the Emergency Manager’s office.
The resolution was approved during the regular session of the Board of Commissioners at the Cavalier County Courthouse; the commission adjourned later in the morning. The minutes do not specify an effective date for the ordinance amendment beyond its filing with the Emergency Manager’s office.
