Michael Montplaisir, County Auditor, was also present. 2. MINUTES APPROVED MOTION, passed Mr. Meyer moved and Mrs. Sorum seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting of July 23, 2001, be approved as written. Motion carried. 3. BREWER LAKE, Bid advertisement for toilets/shower buildina Board members received information in the mail prior to today's meeting of floor plans and sketches prepared by Mr. Peterson for the proposed construction of a toilet and shower building at the Brewer Lake campground near Erie. The proposal, dated August 14, 2001, consists of Plan A, with an estimated cost of $40,000, and Plan B with an estimated cost of $23,000. The plans differ in the type of foundation to be used for each and the lack of showers in Plan B. The building would be ADA compliant under both plans. Types of fixtures were discussed, and Mr. Peterson said the cost estimates do not include site work or sanitary sewer work. Mr. Burley said he contacted Terry Ludlum, of Fargo Cass Public Health, concerning the size of the septic system that would be needed. The estimated cost of three 1,500-gallon holding tanks and the drain field is $15,000. Mr. Montplaisir suggested including a dumping station for motor homes, and Mr. Peterson said the cost would be minimal if the work is done at the same time. Mr. Montplaisir said the Park Board budgeted $55,000 for this project next year. The board would have to budget for additional maintenance costs in future years in terms of water and sewer, according to Mr. Burley. He estimated a new well would cost $10,000, if one is needed, because of the age of the existing one. MOTION, passed Mr. Meyer moved and Mr. Wagner seconded to advertise for bids next spring on Plan A and Plan B for Brewer Lake toilets/shower building, retaining the right to accept or reject any and all bids. Board members discussed the grant application procedure/deadline, and Mr. Burley said work on the project cannot begin before receiving grant approval. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Burleywill be responsible for the grant application, which must be filed by May 1 st. He said the State of North Dakota makes their determination on June 1 st and the Federal deadline for acting on the application is August 31. Mr. Peterson will prepare the bid specifications.
