(Spirit Lake)– The Dickinson County board of supervisors Tuesday reviewed a proposal from Emergency Management Coordinator Mike Ehret to install 10 outdoor warning sirens at various locations in the unincorporated areas around the lakes, including some campgrounds. Ehret estimated it would cost 128,750-dollars to install all 10. The supervisors took no action on the matter. They directed Ehret to research some possible grant opportunities.
The supervisors approved a couple of appointments in the Sheriff’s Office. Gere Evans will move from full-time jailer to full-time dispatcher and Ashley Abbot was hired as a full-time jailer.
In other business, the supervisors approved a quiet title action for an alley in Montgomery; approved various appointments to boards and commissions; re-elected David Gottsche as Chairman and Pam Jordan as Vice-Chair of the board of supervisors; set an interest rate of six percent on stamped warrants for Drainage Districts one and five; and they heard a report from Larry Stoller, chairman of the county’s Compensation Board. The board met last Friday and voted to recommend a four percent across-the-board increase in salaries for elected officials. Stoller says the increase is based mainly on a 3.83 percent increase in the consumer price index. The supervisors will act on the Comp Board’s recommendation next Tuesday.
