County, City Working On Property MOU

 

The City of Wolf Point and Roosevelt County will work together to demolish a property for the first time since a memorandum of understanding was agreed to last November.

County commissioners noted the county will help the city with a house located on Main Street, across from Wolf Point High School.

Roosevelt County Deputy Attorney Thomas Bleicher said it will be a good first project during a commissioners’ meeting Tuesday, Aug. 6.

Bleicher and Wolf Point Mayor Chris Dschaak originally approached commissioners about the MOU proposal in May 2023.

Highlights of the MOU include: * The city and county agree to jointly clean up lots identified as tax delinquent properties when the county accepts tax deed properties from the tax delinquent property list.

* The city will waive all landfill costs associated with the clean-up of said lots as part of this agreement.

* The city will provide a minimum of two city employees, two small dump trucks, one skid-steer and one backhoe. City equipment will be operated by city employees only. * The county will provide up to three county employees, two dump trucks and a backhoe or track-hoe. County equipment will be operated by county employees only.

* Lots cleaned up under the terms of this MOU will be advertised and sold by the county after clean-up efforts are concluded.

Also during the meeting on Aug. 6, Roger Chambers was hired for the road department.

Receiving pay raises were Alex Sutton and Marissa Follet, both 911 employees.
