Council advances internal‑control ordinance and adopts updated flood‑damage prevention rule
Summary
Medora’s council completed a first reading of Ordinance No. 2025‑4 on internal controls (second reading required) and suspended reading rules to adopt Ordinance No. 2025‑2 updating flood‑damage prevention standards to meet FEMA requirements.
The Medora Town Council completed a first reading of a new internal‑control ordinance and adopted an updated flood‑damage prevention ordinance in the same meeting.
Chair (S3) presented Ordinance No. 2025‑4, described as an ordinance establishing internal control standards and a material threshold so the clerk‑treasurer does not have sole custody and handling of town funds. The chair said the ordinance is intended to create segregation of duties and oversight and that a second reading will occur at the next regular meeting before final adoption.
The council also reviewed Ordinance No. 2025‑2, described as a federal/FEMA‑required update that identifies flood zones in town and updates the town’s flood‑damage prevention code. Council members voted to suspend the normal multi‑meeting reading rules and then voted to accept the ordinance in the same session.
The chair characterized the internal‑controls measure as a cross‑check to reduce single‑person control of money and said the flood ordinance is an update to bring the town’s code in line with federal guidance. No public testimony on either ordinance was recorded in the transcript.
