County commissioners met in regular session on Tuesday morning where they approved the contract to provide dispatch services with the city of Bayard. Last updated in 2011, the new contract raised the cost to $1500 per month, up from $1000 monthly, paid yearly. Commissioners also approved the public transit drug and alcohol testing policy.
County Attorney Kirk Fellhoelter presented a waiver agreement and rental agreement for renting or leasing the Morrill County Fairgrounds. It is the opinion of the commissioners that the Fair Board is going to have to come up with policies and procedures for rental contracts in the new building. In the interim, Chairman Jeff Metz said those who rent should pay for the electric and water usage, and a $250 rental fee.
Currently, Kraupie’s Real Estate and Auctioneers have an auction planned there next month.
