- ND Century Code 11-11-10. Power of board to preserve order - Fines - Collection:-- The board of county commissioners has power to preserve order when sitting as a board and may punish contempts by fines of not more than five dollars or by imprisonment in the county jail for not more than twenty-four hours. The board may enforce obedience to its orders by attachment or other compulsory process, and when fines are assessed by it, they may be collected before any district judge having jurisdiction, and, within ten days after they are collected, must be paid into the treasury of the county to be added to the state school fund.
There's been some controversy as to whether there was a vote to fine Dean Tracy $5 for being in contempt. Here is the video taken from my angle, that does not show the negative gesture made by Tracy to Bill Bauer - gestures which the DakTel video shows. Sorry for the blur-out by Dean Tracy attempting to grab my camera. Obviously, the commission voted to fine Tracy in contempt. You can clearly hear Greger voting no and Carr voting yes with a second from Bill Bauer. They could have voted to penalize Tracy with up to 24 hours in jail, but gave him a $5 penalty instead.
