Rosebud County commissioners approved an interlocal memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Treasure County on April 28 to provide coroner coverage after Treasure County lacked a certified coroner. Under the agreement discussed at the meeting, Rosebud County will respond to coroner calls in Treasure County for a flat fee stated in the transcript as $200 per response, regardless of hours or equipment, and may charge additional costs for autopsies. The MOU requires Treasure County to accept bodies at Rosebud County facilities as part of the arrangement.
A commissioner explained that Treasure County was without a sheriff for a time and does not have a certified coroner until December, leaving the county without local coroner capacity. Commissioners approved the MOU by motion and vote.
The transcript contains inconsistent spellings of the partner county and of the county name in one place; the article uses "Treasure County" and "Rosebud County" to reflect the agreement described in the recorded discussion. The MOU text was not read into the record during the meeting; the transcript supplies the primary terms described above but does not include the full contract language or effective dates beyond the motion.
