# Group B Rotational Meeting 10/19

Cass County, North Dakota’s Group B Rotational Meeting (titled “10/19”; meeting metadata gives October 20, 2026) included department updates and operational issues. The Coroner’s Office reported two hires and plans to use roughly $10,000 from its budget to prepare vacant office space, including carpeting and moving reused desks, and to obtain a desk and table; the work was expected to stay within that amount. The discussion also referenced a larger figure of approximately $18,000–$20,000, though its context was unclear in the transcript. No spending motion or approval was reported. Ongoing courthouse construction was causing disruption for another office, but no construction contract or procurement decision was discussed.

A possible extension of the county’s Axon Justice contract was raised in discussion, with potential workflow benefits for law enforcement and the State’s Attorney’s Office, including standardized officer reports using Axon’s Draft One tool. The tool’s limitations and the need for officer review were discussed; no decision or vote was reported. Other updates covered staffing, criminal justice work, training, overdose and suicide prevention efforts, and a grant-supported Veterans Service Office vehicle. No other procurement action was identified.
