FLOOD DIVERSION, Second amendment to joint powers agreement with Fargo, Cass County Joint Water Resource District Mr. Fredricks said a joint powers agreement (JPA) with the City of Fargo, Cass County and Cass County Joint Water Resource District originally was approved in 2010 for property access and right-of-way acquisition costs associated with the diversion project. The first amendment to the JPA was approved in 2013 to address costs for development of a special assessment district. He said the second amendment presented today includes language for Diversion Project Assessment Committee (DPAC) and Oxbow/Hickson/Bakke (OHB) levee costs as reimbursable items under the JPA. MOTION, passed Mrs. Scherling moved and Mr. Vanyo seconded to authorize the chairman to sign the second amendment to the joint powers agreement with the City of Fargo and Cass County Joint Water Resource District to include the Diversion Project Assessment Committee (DPAC) and Oxbow/Hickson/Bakke (OHB) levee costs as reimbursable items under the Metro Flood Diversion Project Limited Joint Powers Agreement (JPA). On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 8. SHERIFF'S OFFICE, Approve sale of 2014 jail prisoner transport van/purchase of 2015 van Sheriff Paul D. Laney and Captain Mickey Harmon were present to discuss the sale of a 2014 prisoner transport van and the purchase of a 2015 model. Captain Harmon said a 2014 Ford 350 cargo van was purchased for jail prisoner transport to replace a 2002 vehicle. The new van has minimal insulation, no heat or air conditioning in the rear section, and is two feet longer, which does not fit into most sally ports throughout the state. She said Ford no longer makes this vehicle, which was purchased from Nelson Auto in Fergus Falls through the state bidding system. The local Ford dealership was contacted and is willing to purchase the 2014 van as a trade-in and sell the county a 2015 model at a reasonable price that will meet the needs of the county.
