Roosevelt County commissioners approve claims, equipment purchases and fair board appointment
Summary
At its April 23, 2026 meeting, the Roosevelt County Commission approved $313,740.78 in claims, accepted several equipment and vehicle purchases planned in departmental budgets, and appointed Carly McGowan to the county fair board; votes were taken by voice with no roll-call recorded.
Roosevelt County commissioners approved routine business and several purchases at a regular meeting on April 23, 2026, including claims totaling $313,740.78 and multiple equipment and vehicle purchases.
The commission approved claims for April 23, 2026, totaling $313,740.78 after brief discussion noting two pickups listed for Northern Prairie Auto. The chair called for a voice vote and the motion passed; no roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting minutes.
Commissioners approved a maintenance request to buy an angle-broom attachment for a skid steer (the meeting record lists the amount as "$7,46.99"; the transcript is unclear on the precise figure). The old broom will be transferred to the road department.
The sheriff’s office received approval to purchase two used vehicles: a 2012 Ram pickup from Northern Prairie Auto for $10,600 and a 2014 Ford Expedition from Fox Ford for $8,000. Commissioners noted these purchases are funded from the sheriff’s budget.
An added agenda item approved during the meeting authorized the road department to buy a 2013 Rway triple-axle belly-dump gravel trailer (air ride) for $37,200. Staff said the trailer seller would hold it for 48 hours before returning it to the market; commissioners said the trailer is needed urgently because sidewalls and the belly of existing trailers are worn and present a safety risk.
The commission also appointed Carly McGowan of Wolf Point to the county fair board to represent the Wolf Point area; staff was directed to send a thank-you letter to another applicant from Culbertson.
Most items were approved by voice vote after motions and seconding; the meeting record does not include a roll-call of individual yes/no votes. The meeting adjourned following the final motion to close.
