<br />Disc. on moving The Board discussed the possibility of moving the Veterans Service Office from the

<br />Cass County Annex Officer, was present and stated that he would object very strongly to being moved.
<br />IHe stated that he has a lot of common clients with the Social Services Department
<br />I'WhO is also located at the Cass County Annex. Also, he has a lot of clients who are
<br />within walking distance right now of the present office space. Mr. Wieland asked
<br />IIMr. Meyer to provide the Commission with figures on how many people live within walking
<br />distance now and how many would be if the location were changed to the Juvenile Center.
<br />The matter will be delayed for two weeks.
<br />

<br />visor gives stat-!of statistics on juvenile delinquent cases they have handled. In regard to the possibility
<br />istical report iof moving the Ve~erans Service Office to the Juven~le,Justice Center building, Mr. Lieb

<br />iHe spoke on a new bill passed by the State Legislature enabling counties and cities
<br />ito grant a two-year exemption on general property taxes on new residential construction
<br />Ibeginning after March 31, 1983. The Commission asked the, States Attorney to check into
<br />the legalities of the Commission placing some restrictions on the exemptions rather than
<br />Ihaving a blanket exemptio~., ~or ins~ance, Mr. Wieland sugges~ed that the exemption
<br />not apply to any new subdlvlslons belng developed but to provlde incentive for
<br />Iconstruction in the many existing subdivisions.
<br />
<br />I' Clarence Miller, County Director of Tax Equalization, stated that he could see some
<br />real administrative problems with this new legislation, and he felt it could cause a
<br />tax burden on small cities and school districts. Until some guidelines are set by the
<br />State, Mr. Miller urged the County Commission to move very cautiously. The matter
<br />will be placed on the agenda again for next week.
