Summary

Commissioners found the courthouse heating system unreliable, cited NDCC Section 48‑01.2‑04, declared an emergency to replace it before the 2025‑26 season and voted to publish a request for proposals.

The Renville County Board of Commissioners adopted Resolution 2025‑5 finding the courthouse heating system outdated and unreliable, noting replacement parts for the existing coal furnace are difficult or impossible to source and the backup propane furnace has failed multiple times during the 2024‑25 heating season.

Commissioner Jamee Hansen introduced and moved the resolution and Commissioner Rick Haman seconded; the motion passed by unanimous vote. The board also voted to publish a request for proposals for the heating replacement. The minutes do not include a cost estimate or a vendor selection; staff were directed to solicit proposals.
