Commission Minutes-May 2, 2005 2894 14. ORDINANCE #1997-3 AMENDED, Second reading/adoption, county park campsites For second reading of the amended ordinance establishing fees for the use of electricity and water at the Brewer Lake campground, Mr. Burdick said the ordinance also adds a fee to obtain a permit for group activities involving more than 25 people. Fireworks, model rocket engines, combustible or explosive materials are prohibited; and the use of firearms is also prohibited. Among some other regulations, the ordinance includes language that the park will have a curfew of 11 :30 PM. No unnecessary noise, driving or consumption of alcohol will be permitted after 11 :30 PM. Mr. Vanyo said one outstanding item is modifying the period of time that a campsite may be occupied from ten consecutive days to 30 days. Mr. Montplaisir said State park regulations call for a maximum stay of 10 consecutive days; however, he received a telephone call from an official from the North Dakota Game and Fish Department's Jamestown office indicating the county could make that determination given the lease Cass County has on the Brewer Lake property. Mr. Montplaisir said he received a telephone call from a potential camp host for Brewer Lake; however, he has learned there is no water and electricity to the campsites for the recreational vehicles. He contacted the County Park Board Chairman, Chad Peterson, who will obtain cost estimates. Mr. Vanyo said the park board may need to meet in that regard. MOTION, passed Mr. Pawluk moved and Mr. Wagner seconded to adopt the Amended Ordinance #1997-3 regulating and restricting the use of Cass County park campsites. Discussion: Mr. Bennett asked if the ordinance is clear enough on the curfew and prohibiting unnecessary noise and the consumption of alcohol after 11 :30 PM. Others believe it is clear the way it is written. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 15. RED RIVER VALLEY FAIR/COUNTY CAMPGROUND, Transfer of campsite Commissioners received a letter from Mr. Burdick dated April 25, 2005, enclosing copies of a letter from the National Park Service and the North Dakota Parks & Recreation approving termination of the Land and Water Conservation Fund compliance responsibilities from the campground project at the Red River Valley Fairgrounds. Therefore, the county may transfer the property to the Red River Valley Fair Association, as requested by their attorney, Jonathan Garaas. For background history on the campground, Mr. Burdick's letter suggests referring to the materials presented for the March 21, 2005 commission meeting. MOTION, passed Mrs. Sorum moved and Mr. Bennett seconded to approve the transfer of the Cass County campsite near the fairgrounds to the Red River Valley Fair Association, and authorize the commission chairman to sign an appropriate deed. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 16.
