This does not give the SherifFs Office much use when you figure in the time <br />and distance we travel to the communities. <br /> <br />The North Dakota Department of Transportation is willing to give the Cass County Sheriff's <br />Office a grant, not to exceed $7,650.00, for the purchase of a Galaxy RT50 Display Radar <br />Trailer which requires no matching funds from Cass County. <br /> <br />Sample Motion: <br /> <br />"Move to authorize the chairman to sign the contract with the NDDOT. for grant <br />funding for a Galaxy RT50 Display Radar Trailer to be used by the sheriffs office <br />and approve the necessary budget adjustments." <br /> <br /> Respectfully, <br /> <br /> Lieutenant Mike Argall <br /> 211 9th St. S. Field Services Commander <br /> Box 488 <br />Fargo, North Dakota 581074)~A/dkb <br /> www. co.cass.nd.us/sheriff pc: Sheriff Don Rudnick <br /> <br /> <br />
