Mrs. Stanton moved and IMr. Larson seconded to postpone this request for one week to give the Commission an iopportunity to view the area. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. I Attorney Steve Schneider appeared before the Board representing the union members iof the Cass County Sheriff's Department. For the 1984 budget period, they proposed i increasing the employee contribution on the health insurance program and they requested : a 9.5% wage increase plus reinstatement of the former step program on the County Pay Scale. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded to receive and file the proposal for considera- tion at budget time. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. A public hearing was held at 10:00 A.M. on the proposed Street Improvement Districts in Holmen's 2nd and Holmen's 3rd Subdivisions. Attorney Karen Klein presented documents relating to the creation of a Street Improvement District for Holmen's 3rd Subdivision, this project being to seal-coat the present hard-surfaced roads within the subdivision. Duane Hoehn, County Auditor, stated that over 60% of the landowners petitioned for this investment, and there have been no protests filed on this project. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded to receive and file the documents from Attorney Klein and to refer them to the States Attorney and the County Auditor for their review, and that the matter be placed on the agenda for next week. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Attorney Jon Arntson spoke on behalf of the petitioners for the Holmen's 2nd Subdivision Street Improvement District. He stated that with the County's guidelines that were established at the last meeting, this project would be terminated. He asked the Commission to reconsider the guidelines and to not take action today on this street improvement district. He stated that 62% of the. landowners are in favor of this project and 34% are opposed. Several landowners were present and spoke to the Commission, some of those being in-favor of the project and some stating their reasons for the opposition. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to postpone any action until next week on the Holmen's 2nd Subdivision Street Improvement District. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Kittleson from Imperial Window & Maintenance Cleaning Company again appeared regarding his proposal of August 9, 1983, to do janitorial services at the Cass County Courthouse and Annex. He stated that his proposal includes the cost of washing the windows at the Courthouse and the Annex. His company was hired to do the windows last year at a cost of about $900.00. This year it would cost about $1,200.00 to do the same windows as last year plus the new windows which have since been installed in the Courthouse, but the County will not be billed for this window cleaning if his company is hired to do the janitorial services. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to hire Mr. Kittleson beginning October 1, 1983, and to send a 30-day written notice of termination to the M & W Janitor Service who presently has the contract for the Courthouse and, Annex cleaning. Mr. Wieland suggested that the Commission first visit with the M & W Janitor Service before taking action today. The motion and second were withdrawn. Since it is approaching the end of the month, the States Attorney stated that the Commission could give the 30-day notice of termination, subject to talking with M & W Janitor Service in the meantime. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that a written 30-day notice be sent to M & W Janitor Service, Inc. terminating their existing contract with Cass County for janitorial services at the Courthouse and the County Annex building, and the matter will be placed on the agenda next week. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to authorize Imperial Window & Maintenance Cleaning Company to wash windows at the Courthouse, the Addition and the Annex building at a cost not to exceed $1,200.00; but that there will be no charge for the window washing should the County decide to hire Imperial Window & Maintenance Cleaning Company for the janitorial services at the Courthouse and the Annex. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Several of the Commissioners have been making contacts to find someone to provide coroner services for Cass County to replace Dakota Clinic who has terminated their contract effective September 1, 1983. Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Larson seconded to spend up to $200.00 for the purchase of a fan to be installed in the attic of the County Jail. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. On motion by Mr. Larson and se~onded by Mr. Wieland, the meeting was adjourned. ATTEST: APPROVED: ~L~ ~;/L . ~........g:"-~-=e~ v Duane E.
