# 10/06/02026 Roosevelt County Commission Meeting

The Roosevelt County Commission meeting, held October 6, 2026 (the title appears to contain a date typo; the metadata is dated October 7), included several procurement and funding matters. Commissioners discussed the courthouse door restoration, including an estimated $38,000 for stone repointing and sealing and a proposed $3,500 architect site visit to confirm measurements and temporary security arrangements. Commissioners supported proceeding with the door work, but no formal vote on the restoration was recorded. The county manager said bids had been received for remaining work at another county facility and work was expected to begin within one to two weeks. The board also discussed capital-outlay funding for previously awarded road equipment; staff were to verify the funding steps and report back. A standard RCCDC use agreement was moved and seconded and appears to have received approval, though the specific use is unclear in the transcript. A proposed expansion of the county’s Forte payment-processing services, including fairgrounds payments and possible website payments, was discussed; a motion and second were made, but the meeting recessed before a final vote was recorded.

Other funding and infrastructure items included a potential $1.6–$1.7 million Medicaid waiver opportunity for detention-center health and re-entry services, and the manager’s update that fairgrounds GROW funding now requires a more involved application and DFA approval. Emergency management reported that an energy developer’s solar and battery-storage proposal would be presented at a future meeting, and proposed a draft ordinance and procedures for major energy and data-center projects; neither was approved at this meeting. The RCCDC reported receiving a $40,000 state certification grant and supporting a local business that received a $17,200 external microgrant. No contract award for the solar proposal or detention-center funding was made.
