<br />Commission Minutes-August 16, 2004 <br /> <br />2778 <br /> <br />Mr. Burdick said information from the North Dakota Department of Agriculture and the <br />Department of Labor pertaining to issues raised by a former employee and how chemicals <br />were handled is not new; however, they have taken the form of formal complaints. He will <br />meet with the appropriate people and begin to collect the information that is needed so <br />responses can be submitted to each of these two agencies by the deadlines stated. <br /> <br />Mr, Wagner suggested holding an executive session in order for the County Commission to <br />discuss legal issues with the attorney. Mr. Burdick said he would favor holding executive <br />sessions periodically and some commissioners were in agreement; however, Mr. Bennett <br />said he believes they should be held on rare occasions and only as needed.
