Grant County Court approves 2–1 vote to dissolve Road Service District
Summary
The Grant County Court approved Resolution 26-07 on March 4, 2026, voting 2–1 to dissolve the Grant County Road Service District amid debate over budget oversight and allocation of auditor costs.
The Grant County Court voted 2–1 on March 4 to approve Resolution 26-07 dissolving the Grant County Road Service District (RSD).
Judge Jim Hamsher moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Mitch Wilson seconded; the motion carried with Hamsher and Wilson voting yes and Commissioner John Rowell voting no. The meeting record shows the court’s primary rationale for dissolution centered on budget concerns raised by the judge.
Commissioner John Rowell spoke in opposition and read a prepared statement saying the RSD had been created to improve “transparency and accountability with road funds” and that citizens and the Road Advisory Committee supported keeping the district. He concluded, “Given this, I will not vote to dissolve the Grant County Road Service District.”
Roadmaster Alan Hickerson and members of the public spoke during the discussion. Public commenters emphasized oversight of the road budget and questioned how and what portion of the county auditor’s invoice should be charged to the road department. The court adjourned at 9:11 a.m. after the vote.
