The Custer County Board of Commissioners handled routine business and several approvals at its July 15 meeting, including accounts payable, a grazing lease, an airport paving contract and two budget/resolution votes tied to wildfire response.
Accounts payable: staff presented the AP report with a total of $211,174.90, including line items for TV-tower repairs ($11,340.74), health insurance ($46,852.13), ballot printing ($12,405.54), fuels ($29,484.08) and Hansen Hall lease payment ($6,000). The board moved and approved the AP report by voice vote.
Grazing lease: commissioners discussed a grazing lease for approximately 0.5 of a 40‑acre parcel described as the old landfill off Lake Duis Road. The board approved a motion to formalize the lease through the county attorney and will return the formal document to the board for final review.
Airport paving: the board approved a two‑phase contract to prepare and pave an operations-area pad and approach near the county ops building. The work includes subgrade preparation and installation of hot-mix asphalt (4‑inch pad; 3‑inch approach) for a total contract value of $35,000.
Resolutions and budget actions: the board adopted Resolution 26‑34 to recognize receipt of $5,000 from the Elkmore Foundation and then adopted Resolution 26‑35 to appropriate the $5,000 to the sheriff’s office posse operations account (raising that line to $17,000). All votes described in meeting minutes were taken by voice and recorded as ayes.
