Sheriff Don Rudnick requested a salary adjustment for Lt. Michael Argall, who was appointed to a new position about one year ago and did not receive a salary increase after his probationary period. The Sheriff stated that his salary is about $100.00 per month less than it should be according to the salaries of the other deputies in the same pay grade, and he recommended raising his salary within $50.00 of the other deputies because of a difference in years of service. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that Michael Argall' s salary be adjusted within pay grade 14 to $2, 354.00 per month, retroactive to January 1, 1987. Mrs. Stanton stated that she wishes to address the issue of paying overtime for persons in supervisory positions, and Chairman Wieland stated that it is a separate issue and should be discussed at budget time. At the call for the question and upon roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded that the Commission send a letter of congratulations to Sheriff's Deputy Dean Wawers, who received an "Exceptional Performance" Award and to Sheriff's Deputy Chris Denis, who received a "Life Saving" Award from the North Dakota Peace Officer's Association. Motion carried. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded that County Social Services be authorized to hire staff replacement at a salary of $1,161.00 per month, for an employee who resigned in the Eligibility Department. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Eckert moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the Chairman be authorized to sign the application for 1988 Federal Aid Secondary road funds. Motion carried. Upon approval of County Engineer Don Richards, Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that the County Auditor be authorized to encumber the 1987 Pothole and Street Repair funds for the cities of Briarwood and Alice. Motion carried. Upon the recommendation of the County Engineer, Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve payment of 1987 Pothole and Street Repair funds to the City of Reile's Acres in the amount of $471.00. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Sondrall asked what progress has been made on the County's request for curb and street repair on 9th Street South in the front of the Courthouse. Mr. Wieland stated that it is the responsibility of the City of Fargo, and Administrative Assistant Scott Krueger will contact the Fargo Street Department to see when the work will begin. Administrative Assistant Scott Krueger reported that he and the Auditor are preparing the 1988 preliminary budget and hope to have it completed by September 1st. This was the effective date of Mr. Krueger's resignation, but he stated that he can continue in the County's employ on a week to week basis until the budget is approved. The Commission was in agreement.
