Petroleum County commissioners cancel Sept. 23 meeting, lift Stage 1 fire restriction and swear in sheriff
Summary
At a Sept. 16 special meeting in Winnett, Petroleum County Commissioners approved routine business, adopted two resolutions — canceling the Sept. 23 meeting and lifting a Stage 1 fire restriction — and Clerk Jess Hoge administered the oath to Sheriff Dan Linder. All motions were moved by Craig Iverson and seconded by Paul McKenna.
Petroleum County Commissioners met for a short special session in Winnett on Sept. 16, 2024, approving the meeting agenda and prior minutes, adopting two resolutions and swearing in Dan Linder as sheriff.
The board — Chair Sigrid Pugrud and Commissioners Craig Iverson and Paul McKenna — opened the meeting at 1:00 p.m. with the Pledge of Allegiance. Commissioner Craig Iverson moved to approve the agenda; Commissioner Paul McKenna seconded and the motion carried. McKenna then moved to approve the Aug. 19, 2024 minutes; Iverson seconded and that motion carried as well.
In the commissioners report, Iverson moved and McKenna seconded Resolution 2024-26 to cancel the scheduled commissioners meeting set for Sept. 23, 2024; the board carried the motion. Iverson again moved and McKenna seconded Resolution 2024-27, which cancels a Stage 1 fire restriction; that motion also carried. The minutes record both resolutions by number, but do not record a formal roll-call tally in the transcript.
Clerk Jess Hoge administered the oath of office for Sheriff Dan Linder, who was recorded as being sworn in during the session. The meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m., and the minutes include attestation and signature lines.
The record contains a date inconsistency: the meeting header text is garbled and includes a reference to "September 16, 2021," while motions and minute references cite 2024 dates (for example, the approved minutes reference Aug. 19, 2024 and the resolutions reference Sept. 23, 2024). This article uses Sept. 16, 2024 as the meeting date based on the internal references to 2024 in the minutes and resolutions; the transcript text and original minute header are retained in provenance for verification.
