Traill County sheriff reports $40,000 raised for K-9; commissioners approve conditional move of shooting range to county FEMA land
Summary
Sheriff Steve Hunt said the K-9 account has raised just over $40,000—enough to buy a dog and cover training—and the commission approved a motion allowing Hunt to relocate a shooting range to FEMA land if negotiations with the private property owner fail.
Traill County Sheriff Steve Hunt told commissioners the K-9 account has raised just over $40,000, which the minutes say will cover purchase of a dog, training and first-year expenses. The K-9 is scheduled to begin training in August.
Hunt also reported that the shooting range currently set up in Herberg Township sits on land not owned by the county. Hunt apologized to the property owner and said county equipment would be removed from that site. The commission approved, on a motion by Commissioner Amb, seconded by Commissioner Nesvig, allowing the sheriff to move the shooting range to county FEMA land if necessary, but asked Hunt to first discuss possible rental costs with the current property owner.
These items were recorded in the minutes as action and direction to the sheriff’s office; no fiscal appropriation for the range move was recorded in the minutes.
