<br />ROAD DEPARTMENT, Delay removal of sprina load restrictions until May 30, 2002
<br />MOTION, passed
<br />Mrs. Schneider moved and Mrs. Sorum seconded to delay the removal of
<br />spring load restrictions for Cass County gravel highways from May 21,
<br />2002 until May 30, 2002. On roll call vote, the motion carried
<br />unanimously.
<br />
<br />UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE, Cooperative aareement
<br />United States Marshal, Brian C. Berg, appeared before the board to present a "mock" check
<br />in the amount of $250,000 from the Federal Government to the Cass County Commission
<br />and Sheriff Don Rudnick, who was also present, as the result of a Cooperative Agreement
<br />Program (CAP). Under the agreement, Cass County guarantees 10 bed spaces per day for
<br />federal prisoners for the next 20 years. In addition, the United States Marshals Service will
<br />pay a daily per diem rate as prisoners are housed in the county facility.
<br />
<br />Mr. Berg said it would be cost-prohibitive for the Marshals Service to build small facilities in
<br />all of the federal court locations, so it is appreciated when counties cooperate for the
<br />efficiency and safety of government functions. He said this is the third such location in
<br />North Dakota.
<br />
<br />Mr. Berg also presented a certificate of appreciation to Sheriff Donald Rudnick for the
<br />outstanding cooperation and constant working relationship the two agencies have shared.
<br />On behalf of the board, Mr. Wieland expressed appreciation for the cooperative agreement
<br />and said public officials can do a better job when governments work together.
<br />
<br />EXTENSION SERVICE, Friendship award to Commissioner Wieland
<br />Brad Cogdill, Cass County Extension Service, and Dr. Sharon Anderson, NDSU Extension
<br />Service, were present to give a "Friend of Extension" award to Alon Wieland, Cass County
<br />Commissioner, for his assistance and dedication to extension programs.

<br />
<br />INFORMATION SERVICES, NDACo Memorandum of Understandina
<br />Michael Montplaisir, County Auditor, explained a proposal from the North Dakota
<br />Association of Counties (NDACo), which he requested, for the installation of more than 40
<br />computers in the new jail facility. He said the computers need to be installed within a two-
<br />week time period, after the office furniture is installed, about June 15th, and before extensive
<br />training begins in the facility, approximately July 1st. He requested the proposal from the
<br />NDACo as an alternate way of getting this service done in a timely manner, considering the
<br />current staffing level of the Information Services Department.
<br />
<br />Mike Abel and Terry Schmaltz were present from the North Dakota Association of Counties,
<br />as well as Adam Sherbrooke, Cass County Information Services. Mr. Montplaisir said the
<br />NDACo would dedicate the number of staff needed to complete the tasks within the required
<br />time period, and county personnel would prepare and install the server equipment that will
<br />be needed.
