Commission approves 2024 mill levies; county discusses state microwave link and a donated tower for 911 consoles
Summary
The Daniels County Commission unanimously approved resolution 2024-6 setting 2024 mill levies. Commissioners also discussed a potential state microwave link to connect county dispatch consoles and the possibility of acquiring an existing tower to host a 50–60 ft microwave installation.
The board approved resolution 2024-6 to set the county's 2024 mill levies by unanimous voice vote during the meeting. A motion was made, seconded and the chair recorded no opposition.
Separately, the commission spoke by phone with Brian, who said the state is studying microwave paths to connect the county's consoles to the core and that an existing self-supporting tower (described as over 100 ft) may be available from a nearby city. Brian told the board the county would likely need only a relatively small concrete pad (roughly a 6-by-6 pad) and site space for a 50–60 ft installation; he said the state may provide equipment if the county provides the site and basic civil work.
Vote and action: - Resolution 2024-6 (mill levies): motion made and approved with no opposition recorded; commissioners signed copies of the resolution.
Tower/microwave follow-up: - Brian said he would provide the state's microwave path details and the exact pad and tower height requirements ahead of the commission's next meeting. Commissioners agreed staff would coordinate a site plan and, if feasible, perform concrete work through county crews.
What comes next: the clerk will file the adopted mill-levy resolution; Brian will return with technical path and siting details by the commission's next scheduled meeting so the county can confirm site preparation needs and any material or equipment responsibilities.
