Clerk of Court County Court Register of Deeds Sheriff Veterans Service Officer $ 3,752.00 $19,238.03 $ 8,866.00 $ 7,152.70 The Board discussed the possibility of moving the County Superintendent of Schools Office from the Cass County Annex to the Juvenile Justice Center or the Courthouse, and the space she occupies at the Annex could be utilized by the Social Services Department. Mr. Todd Urosevich from American Information Systems, Inc. was present to demonstrate a new type of voting system utilizing paper ballots and specialized equipment for counting ballots and one unit for accumulating totals. He recommended that Cass County have at least two machines for counting, but three would be desirable if the County had to use two ballots instead of one. Ballots are counted at the rate of 6,000 to 8,000 per hour on each machine. The County Auditor received a copy of an Attorney General's opinion from Ben Meier, Secretary of State, regarding the lever-type voting machines that Cass County presently has. It is the opinion of the Attorney General that Cass County cannot use the lever voting machines during the next Presidential Election if there are more than nine candidates running for the office of President. Mr. Urosovich offered to pay $20,000.00 in trade for Cass County's lever-type voting machines if the County were to purchase this new voting system from A.I.S., Inc. Mr. Wieland suggested contacting other local governmental entities to see who might be interested in using this new voting system for their own elections, thus helping the County to absorb some of the costs. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to authorize Halmrast Professional Window and Janitorial Services Company to wash the windows in the Courthouse Addition and at the Cass County Annex at a cost of $415.00. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. On motion by Mr. Larson and seconded by Mrs. Stanton, the meeting was adjourned.
