Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as written. Motion carried. Upon the recommendation of Steve Grindberg, County Road Superintendent, Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that the Chairman be authorized to sign a utility permit with the City of Fargo to place a 30" force main along County Road 6. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Grindberg gave the location of three bridges on which he is proposing to begin the design work: on County Road 36 in Section 14, Normanna Township, on County Road 18 in Sections 22-27, Pleasant Township, and on County Road 31 in Section 23, Noble Township. The Commissioners suggested a meeting at the Road Department to make a list of priorities of all the roads and bridges in the County. Deanna Kensrud, Register of Deeds, appeared before the Board to request permission to hire a replacement for an employee in her office who is resigning. Mrs. Kensrud stated that she could not operate her office without a replacement because the workload has increased due to the poor economic conditions. She also requested permission to grant a step increase to one of her present employees who will be assuming the duties of the person who is leaving. She would be hiring a new person at the County's starting salary. Mr. Larson suggested that the County's starting salary be reduced rather than granting a pay raise in one department. After discussion, Mr. Larson moved that Mrs. Kensrud be authorized to hire a replacement at a salary not to exceed $635.00 per month and that the County's pay scale be amended to have the starting salary reduced from $688.00 to $635.00 per month. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Wieland seconded that Deanna Kensrud be authorized to hire a replacement for an employee in her office who is resigning. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that Mrs. Kensrud be allowed to use her own discretion in moving someone into a different job classification if it requires a slightly higher salary. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. The Board discussed the County's financial condition, and the Auditor was requested to prepare some figures for two weeks from today to update the Commission. Mr. Wieland suggested holding meetings with tihe department heads to eXj::!'lain the County's financial problems to them and see if they have any views on how they might help the County. Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded to receive and file the following Monthly Reports for December, 1982: Motion carried. Rush River Water Resource District North Cass Water Resource District Maple River Water Resource District Southeast Cass Water Resource District Cass County Veterans Service Discussion was held on several pieces of legislation being proposed to the 1983 State Legislature.

On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. On motion by Mr. Larson and seconded by Mrs. Stanton, the meeting was adjourned.
