Morton County commissioners discuss tightening voucher submission and fuel-card procedures
Summary
Commissioners reviewed county policy requiring department supervisors to timely submit vouchers and discussed updates to fuel-card logs after noting delayed invoices and small assessed late fees tied to the Sheriff’s Department.
During the Jan. 19 special meeting, Morton County Commissioners reviewed the county policy that requires department supervisors to submit vouchers promptly and accept personal responsibility for any late fees assessed when they fail to do so. The board emphasized timeliness after finding that some Sheriff’s Department invoices were overdue, including one vendor unpaid since May 2025 and a separate $12 late fee.
Commissioners also discussed modifying the county’s fuel-card policy and the associated logging requirements to strengthen controls and reduce the risk of late payments or missing documentation. No formal vote on policy language was recorded; the discussion resulted in direction to staff to update policies and ensure voucher and fuel-card compliance moving forward.
