Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as written. Motion carried. Mr. Harold Flint appeared before the Board and stated that he is receiving source material from the various County Departments for use in preparing a publication to help promote the passage of a proposed excess mill levy at the special election set for August 31, 1982. He stated that the costs of an insert to be circulated in local newspaper publications will be about the same as for the special election in 1979 on the Courthouse Addition. He will bring in a proof copy on August 17th for the Board's approval. Harvey Lorentz from Warner ana Company and Attorney Kip Erickson appeared before the Board to voice their objection to the County for awarding the bid for purchase of County insurance to the Dawson-Watson Insurance Agency. Warner and Company submitted a bid which was $496.00 less than the bid of Dawson-Watson Insurance; but the County Insurance Consultant, Bob Rust, felt that Warner and Company's bid did not meet the specifications because of an exclusion on Personal Injury Police Endorsement. Mr. Erickson stated that Warner and Company felt that the bid specifications were unclear in that area and that after the bids were opened and after being questioned by Mr. Rust about the exclusion, they furnished him a letter asking that the statement referring to the exclusion be disregarded. In this way, they felt they were clarifying their bid, not changing or altering it. Warner and Company feels that they should be awarded the bid for County insurance or else the County should call for new bids with the specifications being made clear. The Board referred the matter to the States Attorney and placed the item on the agenda for next Tuesday. Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded to grant a Site Authorization Permit to the Dakotas Chapter--Cystic Fibrosis Foundation to hold games of chance at the Oxbow Country Club for the period of August 1., 1982 through December 31, 1982.

Mr. Jim Thoreson from the Cass County Sheriff's Department and Dr. Don Christian from the Valley Veterinary Hospital appeared at the Board's request to discuss the procedures used in handling animals to be tested for rabies.

Mr. Thoreson assured the Commission that steps have been taken so that this does not happen again. A letter will be written to Mrs. Kathy LaFleur expressing the Board's regret for this incident. Co.
