Commission asks regional planner to draft comprehensive plan; $15,000 contract discussed

Emmons County Commission · August 5, 2026

Summary

The board agreed to send a draft zoning ordinance and contract to South Central Regional Planning in Jamestown for development of a comprehensive plan; the estimated cost discussed was $15,000 to write up the plan.

Commissioners reviewed a zoning-ordinance draft prepared by Joe Hanson and discussed a proposal to have South Central Regional Planning (Jamestown) finalize a comprehensive plan for the county. One commissioner summarized the likely contract terms: "15,000 to get this wrote up," and the board indicated it would review the final draft at the next meeting.

Staff will forward the draft materials to the regional planner and return to the commission with a completed draft for review and potential adoption steps. The commission also discussed folding conditional-use permit considerations and load-pass language into the permitting process.
