Commissioners approve draft MOU to secure county weed coordinator services
Summary
Treasure County commissioners reviewed and agreed to a memo of understanding for contracted weed-control services, discussed a $40/hour coordinator arrangement with Rosebud County, clarified fuel/claim logistics and budget thresholds, and voted to sign and move the MOU forward.
Commissioners reviewed a proposed memorandum of understanding to secure contracted weed-control services and a lead coordinator following previous meetings. The MOU discussed at the June 9 meeting would reimburse a contractor (noted as Amy Adler from Rosebud County) at an hourly rate of $40 plus fuel reimbursement for coverage of Treasure County needs.
Board members discussed operational details including whether to provide a fuel card or process claims, whether the contract fell under the county's $10,000 procurement threshold, and how the arrangement would be scheduled. Commissioners agreed the position could be carried within existing budgets if properly limited; they discussed keeping an incumbent applicant while also opening the job posting publicly to ensure a candidate pool.
A motion to proceed with the MOU and to have the chairman sign the agreement if acceptable was made and seconded; commissioners indicated general support and asked staff to finalize the contract language and logistics.
The board asked that mileage, fuel reimbursements and invoicing procedures be clarified in writing before final signature.
