or which he /she may thereafter acquire. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. A copy of said resolution is on file in the Office of the County Auditor. A public hearing was held at 9:30 A.M. on the Community Development Block Grant application for rural housing rehabilitation. The Chairman asked for any comments, and there were none. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded to approve the Community Development Needs Assessment and the concept of homeowner contribution, as presented by Claudia Frederick from the Lake Agassiz Regional Council. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. John Welton and Glenn Ellingsberg, County Safety Director, appeared before the Board regarding a safety program. They expressed three areas of concern, these being the need for a safety manual, the disposal of unused equipment in storage areas, and a recommendation that an area be set aside for the custodians. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that Glenn Ellingsberg be authorized to publish a Cass County Safety Manual at an estimated cost of $250.00, to be paid from the County Contingency Fund. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Stanton suggested printing a publication date on the manual. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded that Glenn Ellingsberg be authorized to institute a program to eliminate obsolete and unused items in the County buildings. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Concerning space for the custodians, John Welton suggested that the County add a workshop and storage area on the north or west side of the present garage located north of the County Jail. Courthouse remodeling plans show a space for the custodians in the basement of the north addition, which is presently the lunch counter area. Alton Johnson, head custodian, felt he would prefer the garage concept due to the nature of their work. Mr. Welton felt the cost would be quite minimal, and the Commission stated that the space in the basement of the north addition could certainly be used for another purpose. Mr. Wieland questioned the need to hire an architect for an addition to the garage, and the States Attorney stated that it would not be necessary if the cost is under $25,000.00. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded that Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant, obtain estimates on expanding the maintenance facilities, and to report back to the Commission within 30 days.
