Commission Minutes--August 15, 2000 2168 <br /> <br />Buildings and Grounds <br />Mrs. Johnson outlined projects being completed this year, as well as next year's proposed <br />projects. One project for next year is replacing the Annex parking lot. <br /> <br />Increases in this budget include upgrading the Courthouse security system, which may be <br />matched by the State Supreme Court, and updating signs when the Clerk of Court Office <br />becomes a State function and some duties are transferred to another county office. <br /> <br />Clerk of Court <br />Dorothy Howard said she has asked representatives of the State Supreme Court to meet here <br />with all of her employees to talk about the change from a county to a State function next April, <br />and to dispel any rumors about the transition. <br /> <br />Auditor <br />Mr. Montplaisir talked about increases in this budget, including the purchase of a new photo <br />copier next year. One item in the budget is $1,500 for records storage, and Commissioners <br />were in agreement that a letter be sent under the Chairman's signature to county departments <br />and the District Court about cleaning up storage areas and paying for off-site records storage <br />rather than using space intended for other purposes. <br /> <br />Treasurer <br />Charlotte Sandvik said her budget includes a figure of $12,000 if the county continues the <br />agreement, after the pilot project is concluded, with ezgov.com for payment of real estate taxes <br />over the Internet. Another benefit of this system is providing access to tax records for the title <br />companies and realty companies 24 hours per day. <br /> <br />Tax Director <br />Frank Klein said this budget includes an expenditure for possible reassessment of various cities <br />and townships, and the possibility of the county hiring or contracting for an assessor if certain <br />jurisdictions relinquish their assessment authority. <br /> <br />Commissioners discussed future legislation concerning payment of mobile home taxes before <br />an owner can transfer the title when selling it to another person. <br /> <br />RECESS <br /> MOTION, passed <br /> With no further budgets to review today, Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Quick <br /> seconded to recess the meeting at 12:25 PM and reconvene at 9:00 AM <br /> tomorrow, August 16, 2000. <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />APPROVED: <br /> <br />I[,li~hael Mor~tplaisir- Auditor <br />Cass County, North Dakota <br /> <br />Jo~n Me'y~r-, (~hairman <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br /> <br />
