Rosebud County commissioners approve contracts and studies including $8,000 Safe Streets agreement
Summary
Commissioners approved the consent agenda and several contracts and studies, including an $8,000 professional-services agreement with KLJ to support a Safe Streets SS4a implementation grant for Ashland and a feasibility study for a CO2-to-hydrogen test facility; the board asked staff to follow up on employee-deductible guidance.
The Rosebud County Board of Commissioners approved a series of routine and project-specific items May 27, including an $8,000 professional-services agreement with KLJ to support a Safe Streets (SS4a) implementation grant for the City of Ashland and a feasibility study for a CO2-to-hydrogen test and training facility near Colesgrove.
The Chair opened the consent agenda and listed several items, among them the Southeast Montana DUI Task Force Plan, a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Forest Service and the sheriff’s office, a respite personal-care contract with RHCC, and a Rosebud County employee deductible-waiver agreement. A motion to approve the consent agenda passed after brief discussion.
Commissioners approved a professional-services contract with KLJ to complete Safe Streets for All SS4a implementation work for Ashland. The board recorded estimated KLJ fees of $8,000 and an estimated completion date on or before June 21, 2025. Commissioners said the work will help position the project for state grant matches and later construction funding.
The board also agreed to move forward with a feasibility study and test/training facility described by staff as a CO2-to-hydrogen conversion research site near Colesgrove; the proposal will be reviewed by SEMPC and Jim Atkinson as part of the next steps. Funding sources for that study were discussed but not fully specified during the meeting.
During consent-agenda discussion, a Committee member asked for clearer guidance on how employees may use the deductible-waiver benefit. The committee member requested “a clear explanation of how and when we can use it” so employees would not need to contact RHCC directly; staff agreed to follow up.
The board approved the listed contracts and studies; where funding or timelines were not fully resolved, commissioners asked staff to return with clarifying documentation.
