Commission Minutes—October 6, 2014 4375 Mr. Pawluk said the proposed ordinance leaves the interpretation up to the sheriff whether the event is public or private. Mrs. Scherling believes the proposal is broad with too much left to interpretation. The board consensus was to more clearly define the ordinance, i.e. attendance numbers, and bring it back for consideration. MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved to table the item until the next meeting. Motion carried. 10. RESOLUTION #2014-17, Adult protective services funding Chip Ammerman, Social Services Director, said a resolution regarding statewide funding of the Adult Protective Services program was discussed at the Social Services Board meeting held earlier today. He is requesting the commission approve the resolution, which will be forwarded to North Dakota Governor Jack Dalrymple. MOTION, passed Mr. Peterson moved and Mr. Vanyo seconded to adopt Resolution #2014-17, regarding statewide funding for Adult Protective Services and related infrastructure to ensure services are provided to the vulnerable population. Motion carried. RESOLUTION #2014-17 The Cass County Social Service Board and Cass County Commission recognizes the importance of protecting the vulnerable citizens of Cass County. We urge the Governor and North Dakota Legislature to demonstrate their support by adequately funding statewide Adult Protective Services and the related infrastructure to ensure services are provided. Following the 2013 Legislative Session, Cass County informed the Department of Human Services of the intent to discontinue providing Adult Protective Services to the SE Region of North Dakota in 2015 if full funding was not provided. In July, 2014, the Cass County Commission formally provided a letter with this intent to the Department of Human Services. Dated at Fargo, North Dakota, this 6th day of October, 2014. 11. PUBLIC SALE OF USED GENERATOR, Decision to advertise for bids Michael Montplaisir, County Auditor, said he submitted a request for the commission to offer a used generator for public sale which was previously located at the Annex. He was contacted by the Buffalo Fire Department asking the county to consider donating the generator to the fire department. He asked the state's attorney to review the request under state law to see if it is allowed. Mr. Peterson said a precedent would be set if the commission approves the request, and asked how the county would decide on similar requests in the future. Mr. Burdick reviewed state law and said since the request is from a political entity, a joint powers agreement may be one possibility to legally allow the donation. Also, the commission could enact an ordinance regarding donations. The consensus of the board is to offer the generator for sale and solicit bids.
