<br />Bonnie Johnson, County Coordinator/Jail Project Coordinator, outlined the process that was
<br />followed in considering the future use of the existing jail site. The architectural firm of Foss
<br />Associates presented three options at the April 2,2001, Cass County Commission meeting, and
<br />the Board took the information under advisement. A public notice was published in the county's
<br />official newspaper, The Forum, on two separate occasions seeking neighborhood and
<br />community comment. In response to that, letters were received from Larry Boulger, of Boulger
<br />Funeral Home, which is located near the Courthouse property, and from Richard E. Blair,
<br />President of KVNJ Television, Fargo. Both of these citizens felt the present jail and the Sheriff's
<br />Residence have outlived their usefulness and should be demolished once the new jail is
<br />constructed.
<br />
<br />Over the past several weeks, Mrs. Johnson and Rick Hoganson, of Foss Associates, reviewed
<br />the three options for re-use of the existing jail site with staff from the State Historical Society,
