SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT, Law Enforcement software aareement with City of Farao Glenn Ellingsberg, Sheriffs Department, submitted a proposed agreement for the Board's consideration which would allow them to share the City of Fargo's software for day-to-day operations. The benefit is having a single data base where information is stored. He said no cost is associated with this agreement today, however, additional agreements will be brought to the Board at a later date with actual dollar amounts. The County budgeted $10,000 for integration with the Fargo system in this year's budget, which should pay for most of the transition to their software and the combining of data bases. It was suggested by Mr. Ellingsberg that any additional cost for maintenance and upkeep be negotiated and added to the annual 9-1-1 contract. Mr. Meyer said this is a good first step in cooperation with the joint dispatch center. Mr. Wagner said Fargo's software is an exceptional and expensive program and will allow for one system instead of two. He said it will be of great benefit to the County. MOTION, passed Mrs. Sorum moved and Mr. Wagner seconded that the Sheriff's Department be allowed to enter into an agreement with the City of Fargo for law enforcement software. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 10. ROAD DEPARTMENT, Maole River Townshio access aareement in Section 13 Keith Berndt, County Engineer, provided background information and a suggested solution to the access problem in Section 13, Maple River Township, concerning farmland owned by David Ratchenski. A proposed agreement was reached after a meeting involving Mr. Ratchenski; his attorney, John Irby; Eugene Piper, owner of adjacent farmland; State's Attorney Birch Burdick; Commissioner Robyn Sorum and Mr. Berndt whereby Mr. Ratchenski would sell his 32.2 acres for $38,700 plus legal fees and other expenses. Mr. Piper would purchase the property for $23,700, with Cass County paying the difference of $15,000 plus Mr. Ratchenski's legal and other expenses, estimated at $4,000. It would have cost the county $15,000 if they were to install a low-water crossing at this location to provide access for Mr. Ratchenski, according to a recent estimate from Moore Engineering. Mr. Berndt said he thinks this is a good resolution to the matter. Mr. Wagner asked if this is a unique situation given the large number of bridges and culverts throughout the county, and he expressed concern about this property if it changes ownership
