PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF CASS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA Upon the request of Sheriff Don Rudnick, Mrs. Stanton moved and Mrs. Wold seconded that a security camera be installed in the female section of the Cass County Jail. The motion carried with the Commission suggesting that the Sheriff make application to the Law Enforcement Council if funds are available for this equipment, which is estimated to cost $1,066.82. Mr. Lowell Siebels informed the Board that County Road 32 has washed out and he felt that if culverts had been installed last fall, this would not have happened. Mr. Sat rom suggested that the matter be referred to the County Road Department. Mrs. Wold felt that the Board should meet with members of the water management boards before doing anything to change drainage. A man from the delegation which appeared last week was again present regarding their request for the County to blacktop County Road 32 from Absaraka west 7~ miles to State Highway 38. Due to the extensive flood problems and present damage to County roads, the Board has not discussed the matter further at this time. Mrs. Wold moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the County furnish approximately 600 trash bags to the group from CROP that will be picking up litter along County roads in the Fargo-West Fargo area. Motion carried. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Sondrall sec~onded that the gambling permit for the Interstate Gun Club for a raffle to be held on April 28, 1979, be transferred to the date of June 2, 1979, due to the late spring. Motion carried. The Board requested all County Department Heads to appear before the Board and they were instructed to prepare their budgets for the 1979-1980 fiscal year with no budgetary increases other than salary increases and the normal inflationary increases for supplies. The Department Heads were in agreement, and the Board set the date of May 9th at 1:00 P.M. to discuss salary increases in order to establish a figure for preparing budgets.
