Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant, reported that the budget for cleaning services at the Juvenile Justice Center has not been increased in over four years. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that the Commission increase the contract with Mr. and Mrs. Alton Johnson for cleaning the Juvenile Center by the sum of $600.00 annually retroactive to January 1, 1986. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Scott Krueger furnished an updated list of unresolved items for the Commission's consideration. Concerning the Cass County Report, Mrs. Stanton suggested reviewing it at regular Commission meetings; and Scott Krueger was directed to invite department heads to attend the meeting individually when their respective department is being discussed. Mrs. Stanton reported that she and Scott Krueger are reviewing the Personnel Policy draft and will furnish a revised copy. Mrs. Stanton stated that she was informed that an employee in the States Attorney' s Office is chairman of Phil Watson' s campaign for mayor of the City of Fargo, and she feels this is unethical because the States Attorney and the Sheriff work closely with the City of Fargo. She stated that the County has a good relationship with the City of Fargo, and she wanted it made clear that Cass County is not supporting this candidate. She asked if the Commission would be willing to look at some policy on this, and she intends to propose a policy next week. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that the Chairman, Commissioner Larson and the States Attorney draft a proposal calling for bids concerning the eventual sale of the Cass County Annex.
