Upon his recommendation, Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Wieland seconded that the Chairman be authorized to sign the Self Funding /Stop Loss Agreement with Blue Cross -Blue Shield for the year 1985. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Lorry Stensrud appeared before the Board to request preliminary approval of financing arrangements for industrial revenue bonds for the River Oaks project, which is for acquisition and development of the Sacred Heart Convent south of Fargo into approximately 100 living units for elderly residents. Mr. Eckert moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to approve the RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE ACQUISITION OF A PROJECT UNDER CHAPTER 40 -57 N.D.C.C., CALLING FOR PUBLIC HEARING AND PUBLICATION OF NOTICE AND AUTHORIZING THE SALE AND ISSUANCE OF REVENUE BONDS TO FINANCE THE PROJECT; said hearing to be held at 9:30 A.M. on February 12, 1985. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Commissioners Eckert and Larson will work with the architect on a regular basis on matters concerning the proposed south addition to the Courthouse, as requested by Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant. Mr. Sondrall moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to authorize Scott Krueger to proceed with spending $1,500- $2,500 for a room heat pump for an unused area on the third floor of the Courthouse which can be used by District Court after some remodeling. This would vacate some office space on the first floor, which is used by the Referee's Office. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Scott Krueger presented four ideas on policy statements concerning the County Commission. One idea is that the County Road Department will no longer be a regular agenda item unless the Road Superintendent feels it is necessary to attend a meeting. Otherwise, he will submit any information requiring the Board's attention to Commissioner Eckert or to Scott Krueger prior to Tuesday morning. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Wieland seconded that the Cass County Road Repair and Improvement Advisory Committee be composed of Commissioners Eckert and Wieland, Steve Grindberg, Leslie Roach and a County Engineer when the County hires one, but that a consultant be hired if engineering services are required until such time that an engineer is employed. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. The Chairman selected Commissioner Eckert to be committee chairman. Mr. Grindberg suggested that a delegation such as appeared this morning from Harwood be first referred to this advisory committee, or at least a spokesperson for the delegation. Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded to adopt the Statement of Policy on Commission Agendas whereby all persons and organizations desiring to make presentations to the Board provide a single page, double- spaced synopsis of the proposed presentation to the Board's secretary by the Friday preceding a Board meeting, any exceptions to be approved by the Chairman or Vice Chairman. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Discussion was held on the Statement of Policy on Commission meetings being held one evening per month instead of only during the day, which some Commissioners felt may limit some County residents access to the Board. It was agreed to go on a trial basis of holding an evening meeting on April 2nd at 7:00 P.M. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to authorize Architect Richard Moorhead to proceed with having Houston Engineering conduct a site survey for the proposed south addition to the Courthouse, at a cost not to exceed $1,200.00. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to receive and file the letter from the Shanley High School class of state and local government thanking the Commission for their time talking to some of the students who attended various Commission meetings last fall. Motion carried. Mr. Sondrall read a letter from Oscar Simonson of Argusville which will be filed with the petitions received today protesting the closing of the bridge north of Harwood. Upon the recommendation of the Cass County Planning Commission, Mr. Eckert moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded to appoint Mr. Victor T. Knudson of Kindred to the County Planning Commission to complete the unexpired term of Lawrence Moderow, which expires January 1, 1986. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to receive and file the following Officer's Reports for December, 1984: Motion carried unanimously.
