Mercer County board moves to buy Ruff Rider RV building, plans interim payment from county savings pending lender financing
Summary
Board members agreed to proceed with purchasing the Ruff Rider RV building; they will use county ICS savings funds to make payment by Friday and replenish that account after securing long‑term financing, having not received a grant.
The Mercer County board agreed to proceed with purchasing the Ruff Rider RV building, instructing staff to execute the purchase agreement and prepare payment that is due by Friday.
Board members noted the county did not secure a grant to cover the purchase and discussed options for financing. Members said they would draw from the county’s ICS savings account to write the check immediately and then replenish that account once long‑term financing is secured—citing Bank of North Dakota as a likely lender option. Staff and board members discussed arranging signatures and avoiding mailing the payment; Carmen agreed to prepare and hand‑deliver the check to the seller, Mr. Shopper.
The board indicated renovation planning will follow; members asked staff to add renovation planning and follow‑up financing discussion to a future agenda. The transcript does not include a formal roll‑call tally of votes for this motion in the recorded segments but documents a motion, second, and explicit direction to proceed with payment logistics.
