An Invocation was given by Mr. Sondrall. Mr. Satrom moved and Mrs. Wold seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting ,be approved as written. Motion carried. The Auditor read a letter from the State Highway Department enclosing an agreement for construction of automatic signal lights on the railroad crossing at Horace, the County to pay 10% of the cost. H9Wev€r, Mr. Sondrall stated that he was contacted by officials from the City of Horace suggesting an alternative to crossing the railroad tracks, and the matter will be delayed until this can be investigated with the County Road Superintendent. The States Attorney was present to discuss the North Dakota Attorney General's opinion concerning the proposed 3 mill levy for the construction of an addition ,to the Cass County Courthouse. It was the opinion of States Attorney Cynthia Rothe that, based on the vote of the people, the Board should proceed on a yearly basis, completing phases of the project as the authorized mill levy funds become available each year. Architect Richard Moorhead was present and stated that he feels the $500,000.00 'of Federal Revenue Sharing which the County has already budgeted for a building fund 'plus an additional $275,000.00 which the County will receive as the last payment ,under the present Federal Revenue Sharing law should be sufficient to construct the shell of the proposed addition to the Courthouse. He stated that penalties on a project such as this are determined by how many phases it will take to complete the project, but this would be largely off-set by interest costs if the County had to borrow money to build the addition. Another continuing aspect would be the rate of inflation which is 9% to 15% per year, but this will be only on the unfinished parts of the project. He suggested including a number of alternates in order to match as closely as possible to the dollars available. In conclusion, Mr. Moorhead stated that he will appear before the Board again next week and hopefully will be able to have a date set for calling for bids.
