Budget Hearing Notice (See North Dakota Century Code (N.D.C.C.) § 57-15-02.2)
1. On or before August tenth of each year, the governing body of a taxing district shall provide to the county auditor in each county in which the taxing district has taxable property the date, time, and location of the taxing district’s public hearing on its property tax levy, which may be no earlier than September seventh. A taxing district that fails to provide the information required under this subsection on or before August tenth may not impose a property tax levy in a greater amount of dollars than was imposed by the taxing district in the prior year.
2. By August thirty-first of each year, the county treasurer shall provide a written notice to the owner of each parcel of taxable property. The text of the notice must contain:
a. The date, time, and location of the public budget hearing for each of the taxing districts in which the property owner’s parcel is located and the location at which the taxing district’s budget is available for review; and
b. A statement that there will be an opportunity for citizens to present oral or written comments regarding each taxing district’s property tax levy.
3. Delivery of written notice under this section must be by personal delivery to the property owner, mail addressed to the property owner at the property owner’s last-known address, or electronic mail to the property owner directed with a verification of receipt to an electronic mail address at which the property owner has consented to receive notice. If a parcel of taxable property is owned by more than one owner, notice must be sent to only one owner of the property. Failure of an owner to receive a notice under this section will not relieve the owner of property tax liability or modify the qualifying date under N.D.C.C.

Governor Armstrong recently declared a statewide fire emergency for North Dakota. The ongoing drought continues to increase wildfire concerns across the state. As we move into later summer and fall, agricultural and recreational activities will increase. As these activities increase , the probability of fire starts will increase as well.

Preparedness is key to a successful outcome in an emergency. Although you may have dry chemical or CO2 fire extinguishers on your equipment or in the vehicles, they are not as effective on vegetation fires as a water based extinguishers. 2.5 gallon “water can” extinguishers are a quick and effective tool to contain a smaller vegetation fire. Additionally; bladder packs with hand pumps are another very effective tool to assist in rapid containment.

We will occasionally hear from folks that ask about where they can get these products. There are many sources online and several local options. We know that Grand Forks Fire Equipment in Grand Forks and Dakota Fire Equipment in Minot typically have these on hand. There are likely others as well.

Adding a little class A foam to these adds extra fire knockdown ability. Even a little dish soap mixed in will provide benefit. In an attempt to make sure you are as prepared as possible, if you reside or work within our response area, we will provide you with some foam concentrate at no charge. Just get a hold of a member, bring a quart jar and we will get you setup.
