ANNEX REMODELING, Veterans Seryice Office filina system discussed James Brent, Cass County Veterans Service Officer, was present to request approval for a rail- type filing system, at a cost of approximately $7,000.00. He said this expenditure would allow him to place client files, and other files, in the alcove adjacent to his office. Office space would then be created in the existing file room for the veterans service representative who is in an open area that does not afford him privacy for interviewing clients. /"""' Mrs. Schneider expressed her disappointment that Commission action of July 9, 2001, was not followed, and she questioned how it got to this point. Remodeling concept #1 was approved at the last Commission meeting, with no talk of purchasing a new file system, and she now understands the remodeling is not going to take place as approved. The Commission voted on the remodeling, and she assumed it would be followed through. Any change from that action should have been brought back to the Board. Mr. Wieland said original discussions by the County Commission did not include the purchase of a new file system, and, if that is needed, it should be placed in the 2002 budget and discussed at a budget meeting. Mr. Wagner and Mrs. Johnson talked about the subcommittee role in the remodeling project and said the committee tried to find a common ground between Social Services and the Veterans Service Office. The subcommittee did not reach a unanimous consensus. Mr. Meyer said he could not support the motion for a new file system which would mean moving the files out of the file room.

On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 14. VOUCHERS, ADD roved Mr. Wieland reviewed the vouchers, and he said one notable issue is the amount of money spent on seminars and travel.
