Toole County Commission approves series of contracts and a resolution; minutes adopted
Summary
At a regular meeting, Toole County commissioners approved the July 7 minutes and voted to adopt several contracts and an audit amendment, including a three-year IT contract, a NG911 update (approx. $9,000), an amendment to the audit contract, a Nexus CPA Group contract for the Northern Express Transportation Authority, and Resolution number '92020 5' requesting prosecutorial assistance for Crossroads Correctional Center cases.
The Toole County Commission approved a slate of routine and contractual items during its meeting.
The Chair opened the meeting and the commission approved the July 7 meeting minutes after a Committee member moved to adopt them and a second was recorded.
Contracts and approvals taken up and approved by recorded aye votes included: - A three-year contract with Preferred IT Systems (introduced by the Chair); a Committee member moved to approve and the motion carried. - A next-generation 911 (NG911) update for the county, which a Committee member described as "approximately $9,000"; the commission approved the upgrade and noted it is a sheriff-managed item. - An amendment to the audit contract with Danny Dowdy and Associates to separate out a Department of Administration component; commissioners approved the amendment. The transcript notes the Department of Administration contributes $7,000 toward audit costs; the transcript also referenced a larger historical audit cost figure but that number was unclear in context. - A contract agreement with Nexus CPA Group for 07/01/2024–06/03/2026 to serve the Northern Express Transportation Authority; a Committee member moved to approve and the motion carried. - Resolution number "92020 5" (as stated in the transcript) requesting prosecutorial assistance for criminal cases at Crossroads Correctional Center; the Committee member explained the Montana Department of Corrections provides prosecuting assistance for CCA-related matters and the county assists locally. The commission approved the resolution after a motion and recorded ayes.
The meeting concluded with brief closing remarks. Several items were described in relation to the sheriff’s office, and staff were directed to coordinate where funding or operational control rests.
