Commissioners mull 2022 budget
By Sue Sitter - | Jul 24, 2021
Pierce County Commissioners met early the morning of July 19 to pore over proposed budgets for all county departments.
Salary raises took up most of the commissioners’ attention as they discussed developing the county’s 2022 budget. The board did not vote on any budget matters at the three-hour long meeting.
Commissioners listened to budget requests from Mike Graner, administrator at Heart of America Correctional and Treatment Center, and Allen McKay, administrator at Lake Region District Health Unit.
In addition to proposals for pay raises, commissioners talked about increasing the portion of employee retirement benefits paid by the county.

Burn ban, roads and campsites top county’s May agenda
By Staff | May 15, 2021
Pierce County Commissioners voted to approve new road work, campsite additions and an extended burn ban at their regular meeting held May 4 at the Pierce County Courthouse.
The ban, brought before the board by Department of Emergency Services Coordinator Kelsey Siegler, extends from May 4 to Oct. 31.
The ban applies to “recreational burning, garbage/pit burning, burning of farmland, cropland and/or ditches, and the use of fire to demolish structures” when the county is under a Red Flag Warning. The ban also takes effect when the North Dakota Fire Danger Index places the county in the Very High or Extreme categories. The use of fireworks is also banned under these conditions.
