--- Commission Minutes--February 5, 2001 2246 features needed by the department, such as the ability to accept ledger-sized military discharge documents for reduction. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Sorum seconded to approve the purchase of a copier and related maintenance agreement in the amount of $5,159.00, as requested by Jim Brent, Veterans Service Officer, to be paid from existing money in the 2001 budget. Discussion: Commissioner Schneider suggested delaying the copy machine purchase until Mr. Brent can include the funds in his budget to be prepared this summer since the department is able to use a large copy machine in Social Services. Mr. Wagner said the Information Services Director is requesting bids on scanning the military discharges, which would eliminate the need for copying the documents. Mr. Brent said the volume of work in his department dictates the need for a copy machine with more features than the current model. On roll call vote, the motion carried with three members voting "Aye", Mr. Wagner and Mrs. Schneider opposing. 17.

Bonnie Johnson, County Coordinator, reported that the Friday legislative conference call with the North Dakota Association of Counties will begin one hour earlier, at 4:00 PM.

The area scheduled for air duct cleaning from the 2001 budget is the north wing, and work on the south wing will be budgeted in 2002. Corey Whitchurch, operator of the County Seat Cafe in the lower level of the Courthouse south wing, is requesting permission to reduce the number of hours of operation, mainly because business is slow in the afternoon and it is difficult to show a profit from 2:00-4:00 PM. He is proposing to establish cafeteria hours as 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM Monday through Friday, and Commissioners informed Mrs. Johnson that they are in agreement to those hours rather than closing the cafeteria entirely.
