Marshall County approves updated park policy, addresses NSF check and approves seasonal hires
Summary
The Board approved an updated County Park Policy Manual, directed the Auditor-Treasurer to resolve an NSF check matter with park representatives, and approved seasonal park staff hires and a temporary scanning position; tax collection was reported at 12% collected year-to-date.
Marshall County commissioners on April 21 approved an updated County Park Policy Manual and addressed several park and finance items during their regular meeting.
Park Board member Alysa Tulibaski presented the revised County Park Policy Manual, which the Board approved after prior review by County Attorney Chris Rokke (M/S/C Bring, Kiesow; 5-0). The Board also met with County Park representatives Joe and Denette Larson and Angie Hougard regarding an NSF check; Auditor-Treasurer Scott Peters will coordinate with the Larsons, the Sheriff and the County Attorney to resolve the matter.
Auditor-Treasurer Scott Peters reported several financial items to the Board: 2025 audit information, a tax collection update showing 12% collected (about $2.7 million of a $27.25 million total), a 25% actual vs. budget report, financial/investment updates and options for I-Series changes. Peters noted an Enbridge meeting is scheduled for the May 5 Board meeting and referenced DOR/Enbridge correspondence.
The Board approved seasonal park employment for multiple named hires with start dates in April and May (motions carried 5-0) and approved a temporary part-time Auditor/Assessor scanning appointment for April 7–17 (M/S/C Nybladh, Duckstad; 5-0).
Why it matters: The park-policy update sets operating expectations for county parks; the NSF check matter and staffing approvals affect park operations and seasonal services. The tax-collection figures are an early-year indicator of county cash flow.
What’s next: Auditor-Treasurer Scott Peters will work with law enforcement and the county attorney on the NSF check resolution; the Enbridge meeting will occur at the May 5 Board meeting.
