Summary
The City of Richardton approved expenditures and a Joint Powers Agreement with Stark County for elections, scheduled public works assistant interviews, and received reports from fire, building inspection, public works and the Stark County Sheriff's Department.
The Richardton commission on Nov. 17 approved the payment of city expenditures, authorized a joint elections agreement with Stark County and heard routine departmental reports.
City Attorney Olivia Krebs presented and the commission approved a Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Richardton and Stark County for elections; the motion was moved by Commissioner Dallas Hauck and seconded by Commissioner Ben Bohn. Auditor Marcy Kuntz presented financial reports including bank statements, sales-tax and payroll reports, and profit-and-loss statements for water and garbage. The commission approved the listed expenditures after motion by Commissioner Ben Bohn and second by Commissioner Darcy Dressler; the minutes list vendor names and amounts but do not include a roll-call tally.
Listed expenditures in the minutes include payments to SEH ($24,235.70) and MGM ($11,900.56) among other vendors and smaller items; the minutes reproduce a vendor list and amounts but do not provide a consolidated summary. The auditor also noted that SW Water authority will increase rates on Jan. 1, 2026, a factor the commission considered in approving a municipal rate change to be incorporated into the amended fee schedule.
