On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Reynolds brought up discussion on the possibility of Sanitarian Richard Brumfield functioning as a County employee again rather than a Fargo City employee under the Fargo Health and Sanitation Department. He felt that Mr. Brumfield could fit into the County system under the Planning Department, and he outlined several other areas where Mr. Brumfield could administer and enforce regulations such as subdivisions, zoning, flood plain and possibly building codes. The County would continue to contract the remaining health services through the Fargo Community Health Department. Mrs. Stanton will be meeting with Fargo City Commissioner, Gib Bromenschenkel, and City Sanitarian Goodwin Hoff to discuss the matter. Bonnie Johnson, Regional Child'Support Enforcement Director, reported on the duties and responsibilities of her department.
