PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF CASS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA f-'''lQ{) o l. 6 ,:, Concerning completion of the Jail re-roofing project, Architect Holman reported that the storage room roof next to the Jail roof was included in the initial estimate but it was not included in the contractors' proposals because it appeared that the roof did not need to be replaced. Mr. Sondrall asked the architect to discuss this with Alton Johnson, Buildings and Grounds Supervisor; and if he feels it should be done, that a change order be made. Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Larson seconded to approve Partial Payment No. 1 to Pierce Roofing & Sheet Metal, Inc., in the amount of $26,215.25, for the Jail Re-Roofing Project. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant, reported that the Cass County Annex has been identified as containing some asbestos building materials. Air sampling and bulk samples were taken at two locations by Twin City Testing on August 2, 1984, to identify the presence of asbestos fibers in the air. It seems that there is not a major exposure problem for the people who work at the Annex according to the test results. Concern was expressed about areas which have been damaged by water leaks; and there is a potential of creating more danger of fibers getting into the air depending upon the method of removal. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to insure the safety of the employees in the Cass County Annex, that the Commission adopt the following recommendations of Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant: authorize the Administrative Assistant to work with Twin City Testing and check' with the West Fargo and Fargo Schools to develop bid specifications for removal of the 1st floor ceiling material; authorize the Administrative Assistant to work with Alton Johnson to develop procedures to minimize potential maintenance contact with the material; authorize air sampling on a quarterly basis; authorize the Administrative Assistant to request State Health Department assistance in monitoring the situation. The motion carried on roll call vote with only Mr. Eckert opposing for the reason that he felt the level of contamination was low enough that it did not necessitate taking action at this time and that doing any work in this area may aggravate the problem. Scott Krueger reported that he met yesterday with the employees at the Cass County Annex, and they are concerned that they have worked in this environment for some time without knowing it. Mr. Wieland stated that he will contact Dr. Robert Geston from the West Fargo Medical Center to see if he would be available to meet with these employees to try to answer their questions from a medical standpoint. Upon the recommendation of the States Attorney, Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Wieland seconded that the Chairman be authorized to sign a letter to the Bell & Howell Acceptance Corporation assuring continued funding for the Register of Deeds Micro-Film Equipment Lease during the calendar year 1985. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously; On motion by Mr. Eckert and seconded by Mr. Larson, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned. REGULAR MEETING OF CASS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AUGUST 14, 1984 Chairman Stanton called the meeting to order and upon roll call, all members were present. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as written. Motion carried. Robert Hoy, States Attorney, reported that he received a call from County Road Superintendent Steve Grindberg about continued concerns on the Chrisan and Chrlsan Second Subdivisions paving project. Engineer for the project, Steve Dewald, was present and stated that there are about six homes which have their sump pumps draining into the County road ditch, and he is of the opinion that the ditch is a legal drain. Mr. Wieland suggested that Steve Grindberg, Steve Dewald, County Sanitarian Richard Brumfield and Commissioner Don Eckert attend the next meeting of the Southeast Cass Water Resource District which will be at 9;00 A.M. on August 16th, to discuss whether this is a legal drain and if the ditch needs to be cleaned for proper drainage.
