Petroleum County commissioners approve auditor contract, appoint post‑election audit committee
Summary
The commission voted to approve signing an auditor contract with JCCS and approved a Post‑Election Audit Committee; Clerk Jess Hoge also listed certified election judges for the upcoming general election.
At their Oct. 7 meeting, the Petroleum County Commissioners approved signing an auditor contract with JCCS after a motion by Commissioner Craig Iverson and a second from Commissioner Paul McKenna; the minutes record the motion as carried but do not record a vote tally.
Commissioners also approved Clerk Jess Hoge's recommendation for a Post‑Election Audit Committee consisting of Phyllis Arthur, Jeanne Wheeler and Luann Knutson. In the clerk's report, Jess provided the list of certified election judges for the general election: Patti Kiehl, Butch Arthur, Kathleen Johnson, Carolann Schaeffer and Ginger Moore. The minutes state payroll and claims were signed and timecards reviewed.
During commissioners' reports the board discussed floodplain compliance meetings, possible coordination with Fergus County for weed‑spraying services (Paul McKenna said he had not yet talked to Fergus County), a report on a 'Predator Bounty' (no details recorded), and a potential silent auction of miscellaneous items in the courthouse basement (no plan set). The minutes do not detail deadlines, contract value for JCCS, or vote tallies for the recorded motions.
