Resident outlines petition to expand Billings County commission from three to five and asks for public policies online
Summary
Julie Reis asked the commission to consider a petition to expand the board from three to five members and discussed statutory redistricting under NDCC 11-12-01 through 11-12-07; she also requested the county post its public comment policy online.
Julie Reis addressed the commission during public comment about a petition to increase the number of county commissioners from three to five and raised questions about the statutory redistricting process. "Julie Reis provided comments regarding the petition to increase the number of county commissioners from three to five and discussed the statutory redistricting process under NDCC 11-12-01 through 11-12-07," she said, urging clarity on the administrative steps and public notice if the change proceeds.
Reis also asked that the county post its public comment policy to the county website so residents can easily find participation requirements. The commission did not take immediate action on the petition but received the request and the legal framework referenced by Reis was later summarized by State’s Attorney Jared Gietzen during the meeting.
