REGULAR MEETING OF CASS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS APRIL 24, 1984 Chairman Stanton called the meeting to order and four members were present, Alon Wieland being absent. Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant, stated that a correction needs to be made' on the minutes of the previous meeting concerning the resolution for the Cass County 20 Year Road Repair and Construction Program. Under Item No. 1 of Yearly Priority after the words "Creation of a CITY POTHOLE AND STREET REPAIR FUND in the amount of $300,000.00," the Commission needs to delete the words' "to be financed by money allocated to Cass County from the State Highway Department Incentive Fund and other sources". Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as corrected on the resolution for the Cass County 20 Year Road Repair and Construction Program. Motion carried unanimously. A signed copy of the corrected resolution will be submitted to Mr. Henry Wisness at the State Highway Department. Steve Grindberg, County Road Superintendent, prepared a form for requesting proposals' for construction engineering services on County road projects, a new requirement of the Federal Highway Administration. 'He requested the Board's approval of the form in order to advertise for proposals to be accepted until 2: 00 P.M. on May 14, 1984, for the bridge replacement project in Sections 14-23, NOble Township, on County Road 31. Robert Hoy, States Attorney, reviewed the form and stated that it appears to be in order and advised the Commission to approve it for this particular project. He will discuss the matter further with Mr. Grindberg for future projects. Mr. Eckert moved and Mr. Larson seconded to approve the form for requesting proposals for construction engineering services on County highway projects, as prepared by the County Road Superintendent. The motion carried on roll call vote with all members present voting "Aye". Discussion was held with Mr. Grindberg on the request of last week from the Prosper Farmer's Elevator to raise the spring load limitations on County Road 22 in Raymond Township. He stated that he has had several requests for changing road restrictions but has denied them. The Commission is in agreement to support Mr. Grindberg in his recommendation not to change the spring road restrictions in an effort to prevent the break-up of County roads. Mr. Eckert suggested notifying the Prosper Farmer's Elevator of the Board's discussion today. Upon the recommendation of Scott Krueger, Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to initiate a payroll deduction program for County employees to voluntarily join a physical fitness center at either the Family YMCA or Gold's Gym at a group rate. On roll call vote, the motion carried with all members present voting "Aye". Correspondence was received from Architects Clark Holman and Moorhead concerning deterioration of the roof structure on the Cass County Jail. They estimated that it would cost $56,900.00 to repair it, and they proposed a short-term repair program (15 years or less) using wood materials, which would be considerably less expensive than replacing or repairing the deteriorating concrete. The Commission asked Mr. Krueger to review the file on the Jail Restoration Project to see if any report was made on the condition of the roof at that time. The States Attorney was requested to investigate whether the County's Emergency Funds could be used for the roof repair, and Mr. Eckert suggested looking into other areas of the budget where funds might be available. The matter will be placed on the agenda for next week. Upon the request of Scott Krueger, Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to authorize the Administrative Assistant to utilize an Intern from the North Dakota State University at a cost of $500.00, plus tuition on the credits this person will receive, for a total cost to the County of $680.00.; this being effective from now until August 1, 1984, with a two-week trial period at Mr. Krueger's discretion. On roll call vote, the motion carried with all members present voting "Aye". Mr. Eckert reported that he talked to Judge Cynthia Rothe about replacing a County Court Reporter who has resigned. Judge .Rothe will prepare a salary proposal for, the Commission's consideration, and 'she would like some idea 'from the Commission of how long this person will be hired because of the County's past discussions on the possibility of purchasing electronic court reporting equipment. Mr. Sondrall moved and Mr. Larson seconded to grant the Application for a Raffle Permit for the Nora Lutheran Church of rural Gardner on the date of October 6, 1984,. On roll call vote, the motion carried with all members present voting "Aye".
