<br />PROCEEDINGS OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
<br />OF CASS COUNTY, NORTH DAKOTA
<br />REGULAR MEETING OF CASS COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
<br />JULY 29, 1986
<br />Chairman Alon Wieland called the meeting to order and upon roll call, all members were present.
<br />Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the minutes of the previous meeting be approved as
<br />written. Motion carried.
<br />Mr. Grover Diemert and Mrs. Lois Altenburg were present on behalf of Centre, Inc. to request that
<br />Cass County contribute $30,000.00 annually for counseling and supervision of the residents of the
<br />half -way house for ex offenders. The County Court Judges currently contract with Centre, Inc. for
<br />probation services at a cost of about $12,000.00 annually. Mr. Larson moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded
<br />that the request from Centre, Inc. for an additional $30,000.00 be considered at budget time. Motion
<br />carried unanimously.
<br />Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded to reappoint Oscar Sondrall and Emerson Harris to the
<br />Cass County Cemeteries Authority for three year terms to expire August 1, 1989. Motion carried
<br />unanimously.
<br />Mr. Blake Strehlow, Manager of the Cass County Housing Authority, appeared before the Board
<br />regarding an application to the Department of Housing and Urban Development for 25 Housing Vouchers
<br />whereby very low income families would find an apartment in the local housing market which meets Federal
<br />guidelines, and the rent will be calculated as if it were a Housing Authority unit. Mrs. Stanton moved
<br />and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the Cass County Commission go on record in support of the Cass County
<br />Housing Authority's request for 25 Housing Vouchers. Motion carried unanimously.
<br />Mr. Robert Dawson from the Dawson Insurance Agency presented a proposal to continue the County's
<br />General Liability insurance, Automobile and Truck Liability, Comprehensive coverage on vehicles,
<br />Contractor's Equipment insurance, insurance on some other properties such as radio and camera equipment,
<br />computer, boiler and air conditioning equipment insurance as of August 1, 1986 for a term of one year.
<br />Mr. Larson suggested that the Commissioners consider self insurance and set up a reserve fund similar to
<br />the Blue Cross Blue Shield self- insurance program. A majority of the Commissioners felt this would be
<br />too risky in the event of a lawsuit. The County's insurance consultant, Robert Rust, stated that it
<br />would be impossible to purchase Director's and Officer's insurance under a self- insurance program.
<br />Mr. Eckert moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that Cass County purchase Comprehensive General Liability
<br />insurance and Business Auto coverage from the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund in the amount of
<br />$79,474.00 and $26,491.00 Surplus Note, for a total of $105,965.00. On roll call vote, the motion
<br />carried unanimously.
<br />Mr. Sondrall moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that Cass County purchase Boiler and Machinery coverage
<br />at an annual premium of $1,570.00 from either of two companies as recommended by the Dawson Insurance
<br />Agency. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
<br />Mr. Eckert moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that Cass County purchase Inland Marine insurance from
<br />the North Dakota Insurance Reserve Fund at a maximum premium of $14,750.00, unless the coverage can be
<br />1 obtained in the next few days at a lesser premium. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
<br />Attorney Tom Wold presented a Bond Purchase Modification Agreement between Dakota Bank and Trust
<br />Company and the Adams Investment Company to renegotiate the interest rate on the MIDA Bonds for the City
<br />Limit Truck Plaza. Upon written recommendation of the Cass County States Attorney, Mrs. Stanton moved
<br />and Mr. Larson seconded to grant approval of the Bond Purchase Modification Agreement regarding the City
<br />Limit Truck Plaza MIDA Bonds between the Adams Investment Company and the Dakota Bank and Trust Company.
<br />Motion carried unanimously.
<br />Mr. Eckert moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded to grant a utility permit to Cass County Electric
<br />Cooperative to install an underground power cable on County Road 17 in the SE* of Section 33- 141 -49, and
<br />to attach conduit to the bridge at a location specified by the Cass County Engineer. On roll call vote,
<br />the motion carried unanimously.
<br />Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to reject the bid of Dennis G. Nelson in the amount of
<br />$202,500.00, which is the second bid received for the Cass County Annex building located at 702 Main
<br />Avenue, Fargo. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
<br />Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the County Auditor be authorized to re- advertise
<br />for bids for the sale of the Cass County Annex building, bids to be opened at 10:00 A.M. on September 9,
<br />1986, at the County Auditor's Office; and that the Chairman and the States Attorney prepare a purchase
<br />agreement for potential bidders. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
<br />The Board recessed for a meeting of the Cass County Building Authority. Upon reconvening,
<br />Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded to approve Building Authority action for Disbursement
<br />Direction No. 13 in the amount of $221,326.15 for the South Wing construction. On roll call vote, the
<br />motion carried unanimously.

<br />additional and to approve Change Order E -1 in the amount of $2,575.00 additional for the South Wing
