McCone County commissioners approve February claims, renew trust and authorize equipment purchases; stockyard fee increase tabled
Summary
At its March 9 meeting the McCone County Board of Commissioners approved February county claims totaling $433,589.33, renewed the Property Casley Trust, authorized five refurbished laptops for the sheriff's office, approved submission of a road-district boundary map, and tabled a second reading of a stockyard fee increase until March 16.
McCone County commissioners conducted routine business on March 9, 2026, approving county claims, renewing a trust and authorizing replacement equipment while tabling further action on a separate fee increase.
The clerk reported the board reviewed and approved county claims for February 2026 recorded as voucher number 1034 for $433,589.33. Commissioners also approved renewal of the Property Casley Trust after Commissioner Taylor moved and Commissioner Jensen seconded the motion; the clerk recorded the vote as 3 to 0.
The board authorized the purchase of five refurbished laptops for approximately $9,900 from the sheriff's equipment budget to replace desktop computers. The clerk reported Sheriff Paul Skyberg had met with the board regarding law enforcement needs prior to the purchase.
A second reading of a resolution to increase stockyard fees was tabled until March 16, 2026; the clerk recorded the item as postponed. Commissioners also discussed bids for a new fairgrounds building (handled in a separate discussion) and agreed to seek final funding and engineering figures before approving construction.
On a separate item, the board approved the submission of updated road-district boundary maps and associated GIS shape files; staff said it would file the forms electronically and provide copies for the county. The clerk noted ongoing correspondence and that the meeting record showed the session adjourned later in the day.
Next steps: the stockyard fee second reading is scheduled for March 16, and staff was tasked with providing final treasury and insurance information relating to the fairgrounds discussion before the board takes further action.
