Morton County Park Board 2026-06-23

The Morton County Park Board held its regular monthly meeting in June 2026, focusing primarily on budget approval and park maintenance projects. The board approved the 2027 budget as presented, with discussions highlighting the potential need for capital outlay funds to replace a pickup truck and for purchasing flexible marker posts to protect power boxes in parks. They also discussed a boat ramp repair project at Fort Rice Recreation, with the Game and Fish Department offering labor and machinery but lacking trucking resources; the board requested clarification on funding responsibilities before proceeding. Additionally, the board reviewed eviction procedures for park campers violating policies and received updates on historical cemetery maintenance and safety improvements. No new contracts or vendor selections were finalized, but several procurement-related action items were identified for future consideration, including signage and equipment purchases.
