OLIVER COUNTY COMMISSION PROCEEDINGS were called to order at 12:00 pm with all members present.
The Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
Alice Grinsteinner, Emergency Manager, presented an emergency declaration and burn ban based on the fire index rating. Lee Husfloen moved and Bradley Dahl seconded the motion to approve the burn ban based on the fire index rating. All in favor, none opposed; motion carried.
Discussion was held on the county radio tower for emergency services. The tower down for roughly 24 hours, which meant no calls able to be sent out to the fire, ambulance or sheriff’s department. The SIRN system is a few months out from completion for the Sheriff’s department, but the fire and ambulance would still need the radio tower for their calls.
Discussion was held on policies and procedures for data centers and ordinances. Rob Schmidt, chair, read a statement.
Discussion was held on the process of developing, review and approval of ordinances.
The Commission discussed holding a special meeting following the Planning & Zoning meeting on April 30th to discuss the moratorium, ordinances, and industrial zoning for data centers.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:55 pm.
The next meeting of the Oliver County Commission will be at 1:00 PM, May 12th, 2026 at the Oliver County Courthouse meeting room.
