After discussion, Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve the preliminary design for the south wing of the Courthouse. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Moorhead estimated the middle of August, 1985 as the target date for awarding the contracts, but the Commission hoped that the contracts could be awarded closer to the first of August. The States Attorney along with Commissioners Wieland and Larson will begin investigating the bidding process to be followed for the future sale of the Cass County Annex building at 701 Main Avenue, Fargo. Scott Krueger reported that residents who live directly north of the Courthouse are objecting to the County's south addition because they feel that the County has not met proper building codes on the north addition due to the noise level of the air conditioning units located on top of the garage. The Commission has taken steps to reduce the noise, but it is still apparently somewhat above ordinance levels. Mr. Wieland suggested that Mr. Krueger research a type of sound absorption material for the brick wall and research the availability of some type of cones or mufflers for the units plus having noise level tests taken while one unit is operating, then two and then with the third one operating; and to also obtain an estimate for a portable air conditioner for one of the jury rooms on 3rd floor which has no ventilation, and to report back to the Commission at the earliest possible time. 6238 Hist.
