PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF CASS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA Discussion was held with County Superintendent of Schools Joyce Holm on Recommendations #18, #19 and #20 from The Cass County Report. The Commission requested information in the next 30 days on what fees for services the Superintendent could legally charge. She is currently having records microfilmed, as was recommended. Recommendation #24 in The Cass County Report was discussed with Veterans Service Officer John Meyer. He did not feel that all aspects of his office were discussed at the time the report was made. The suggestion was to consolidate the Veterans' Services with the Social Services Department, and this was not discussed at the time with the County Social Services Director, who felt it would not be feasible. Recommendation #25 on computerization in the Social Services Department is currently progressing. Toro Jensen stated that he would have some comments on Recommendation #26 on staffing requirements analysis, when and if the Commission decides to proceed in that area. Recommendation #27 on fees for licensing day care centers is determined by the State Legislature. On motion by Mr. Larson and seconded by Mrs. Stanton, the meeting was adjourned.
