MEDORA- At a special meeting
on March 25, the Billings County
School Board decided not to accept a
$200,000 bid for the former Fryburg
school.
The school was offered at an auc-
tion on March 9, and the highest bid
received at that time was $200,000
from Missouri Basin Well Service
Inc. of Belfield. The building had
been appraised at $450,000.
'qhat (amount) far under I have
no qualms about saying no," said
Darren Baranko, board president.
The rest of the board members
agreed. Paige Burian, board member,
was unable to attend the meeting due
to poor highway conditions.
Prior to the meeting, the board
' asked its business manager, Darlene
Mitchell, to ask its attorney, Gary
Thune of Bismarck, to determine if
the $200,000 bid could be Considered
as the building's fair market value. A
North Dakota state law requires that a
school district cannot sell real estate
for less than fair market value. An
exception is that a school district
could sell real estate at a lower value
to another governmental entity.
In a letter to Mitchell, Thune
wrote that bids at a well-advertised
auction could be considered an indi-
cator of fair market value, but added',
that his law firm's research didn't
result in a clear answer.
Pifer's Auction and Realty con-
ducted the March 9 auction. The
board opted to sign an exclusive list-
ing agreement with Pifer's through
which the former school will be list-
ed for sale undl;;,:3, 2011.

In other business, the board
accepted the resignation of Kasey
Malkowski, who has been the dis-
trict's maintenance and repair person
for the past five years. Malkowski, in
a letter to the board, said he has an
opportunity elsewhere, and he
offered to help train the person hired
as his replacement.
