A letter was received from Edward Olson offering the County $325.00. The County received a letter last week from Keith M. Warren offering $250.00 for the rental of this pasture land, and he stated in his letter that he would take full responsibility for his cattle after the County sprays the pasture for noxious weeds. Irv Dietrich, County Weed Control Officer stated that whoever rents the pasture will have to comply with the State law and arrange for removing his cattle when the land is being sprayed and to keep them out the required number of days according to the law. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mrs. Wold seconded that the County rent the pasture land in the SW~ of Section 6, Rochester Township, to Keith M. Warren for $250.00 under the same conditions as last year that he accept full responsibility for his cattle due to weed spraying, and that he comply with the State law as noted by Mr. Dietrich. On roll call vote, the motion carried with Mr. Eckert and Mr. Larson opposing. The Board will consider calling for bids in the future for this pasture rental. Sheriff Don Rudnick appeared before the Board along with a representative of the North Dakota Medical Association who commended the Cass County Sheriff, his staff, and the Board of County Commissioners for their participation in the jail health care project, which has lead to a recommendation that the Cass County Jail be awarded a two-year accreditation by the American Medical Association. The Commission commended the Sheriff on his efforts. Discussion was held with Sheriff Rudnick on the Public Inebriate Program which is presently operated by the Southeast Mental Health and Retardation Center in the County Jail. The Sheriff discussed the possibility of his department taking over the duties of this program, and he felt they could do it more economically because of medical personnel already in the jail. He also stated that the law provides that the County could charge a fee for housing inebriates, which the Sheriff felt may be a deterrent for some of them being admitted repeatedly. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that the County charge $15.00 per day for inebriates in the jail. However, Mrs. Wold and Mrs. Stanton stated that they would prefer to delay the matter for one week and discuss the entire program with representatives of Southeast Mental Health. The motion and second were withdrawn, and the matter placed on the agenda for next week. Upon the request of Sheriff Rudnick, Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Wold seconded that the Sheriff's Department be authorized to retain the $425.00 brought in from the Sheriff's sale of lost and stolen property that has been unclaimed, the money to be used for their equipment purchases. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
