An error was made some time ago on refunding a bail bond for someone arrested for DUI. Mr. Wieland explained the police and County Jail procedures following an arrest and the posting of bonds. The case was appealed and the defendant received the bail refund instead of the person who posted bail. In order to correct the situation, Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that Alan Lee Oster be reimbursed from the County Contingency Fund for his bail bond in the amount of $350.00; and that the Cass County States Attorney file an action against Jeff Coster in the same amount. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. The Commission received copies of the study conducted by Court Management Consultants of Minneapolis on the proposed remodeling and construction plans for the County Court, District Court and Clerk of District Court. A bill was submitted for the study along with a request for the Commission to consider increasing the base fee in the amount of $4,500.00, which was negotiated at the time they made the proposal to do the study. Mr. Eckert moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to pay the bill of Court Management Consultants in the amount of $4,500.00. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Wieland reported that the Public Defenders for County Court have requested the Commission to increase the contract amount for 1986 from $15,000 to $18,000. Mrs. Stanton stated that the Commission has already advertised for proposals for 1986 at $15,000.00. Mr. Eckert stated that the North Dakota Extension Service will be replacing one person in the 4 -H office, and the salary will affect the County payroll. On motion by Mr. Sondrall and seconded by Mr. Eckert, the meeting was adjourned
