Due to the death of Mr. Ralph Cameron, a long-time resident of Cass County who served on many committees involving County affairs, Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Larson seconded to adopt a resolution of condolance to the family of Ralph Cameron in respect to him for the years he has contributed to Cass County. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Larson suggested that the County begin discussions again on forming an airport authority. The States Attorney stated that the Board of County Commissioners can establish an airport authority by resolution and by appointment of members to it, and the airport authority board would hav& the power to establish a special mill levy. Mr. Wieland suggested moving very cautiously in creating any kind of board such as this. On motion by Mr. Larson and seconded by Mr. Wieland, the meeting was adjourned. REGULAR MEETING OF CABS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS MAY 31, 1983 Chairman Eckert called the meeting to order and upon roll call, all members were present. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as written. Motion carried. Discussion was held on moving the County Superintendent of Schools office from the Cass County Annex to the 2nd floor of the Courthouse. Mr. Eckert stated that Joyce Holm, Superintendent of Schools, would like to have some input with the Commission on the arrangements to be made for this office space in the Courthouse. He also stated that some type of ventilation or air conditioning is needed in this room, and this will be discussed with Architect Richard Moorhead who is scheduled to appear before the Commission next Tuesday. Chairman Eckert stated that the Commission alsrr needs to discuss the possibility of putting some of the Superintendent of Schools' records on the County's computer system or on microfilm, whichever is determined to be the most feasible. This will be further discussed with the County Auditor and the Superintenaent-of Schools. The Commission received an appraisal of the Cass County Annex building from T. W. Sapa and Associates estimating the market value of the land and improvements at $550,000.00. Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that the appraisal as submitted by T. W. Sapa and Associates be received as submitted and filed for re-evaluation by the Commission in two weeks. On roll call vote, the motion carried with four members voting "Aye" and Mr. Sondrall opposing. Attorney Steve Mottinger appeared before the Commission to express his views regarding the proposed public defender contract for County Court cases. He is presently with the firm of Kraemer and Associates, who have the public defender contract for District Court and County Court under one contract. The new contract will be awarded separately with the State of North Dakota awarding the contract for District Court cases and the Cass County Commission awarding the contract for County Court cases. Since the Kraemer Law Firm is presently under contract for both courts, Mr. Mottinger expressed his opinion that he did not see any reason that an attorney should not be considered for both contracts this year as County Court JUdge Donald Cooke has suggested. Mr. Larson questioned him on the time spent between District Court and County Court cases,~ and Mr. Mottinger estimated that less time is spent in County Court than in District Court. Due to the recent death of Mr. Ralph Cameron, Mr. Eckert presented several names for possible appointment to the Rush River Water Resource Board to complete Mr. Cameron's unexpired term. Mr. Sondrall moved and Mr. Larson seconded to appoint Mr. William Thompson to the Rush River Water Resource Board to complete the unexpired term of the late Ralph Cameron. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Sheriff Don Rudnick presented an application for a dance permit submitted by the Shamrock Bar of Casselton to hold an outdoor dance on the date of June 17, 1983. The Sheriff's Department recommended that a fence be constructed around the area so that it would not be accessible to minors, and that approval be sought from other businesses in the area of where the outdoor dance will be held. Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded to approve the application for a dance permit for the Shamrock Bar of Casselton on the date of June 17, 1983, subject to the above Sheriff's recommendations. On roll call yote, the motion carried unanimously.
