60 Tom Jensen, Social Services Director, requested authorization to extend Donna Lay's employment on an hourly basis through May 27, 1988, for training Kathy Larsen as Accountant I. Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to authorize Tom Jensen to hire Donna Lays on an hourly basis for up to 80 hours through May 27, 1988, based upon her current rate of pay; and to hire Kelly Services for a maximum of 40 hours instead of paying overtime, and to give an update to the Social Services 8card. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mrs. Florenz 8jornson, Chairman of the Cass County Sooiai Services Board, was also present for the discussion on the Accountant I position. She thanked the Commission for settling these matters that have been extremely disturbing to the Social Services Department. She felt that the head of that department has really taken some abuse and hoped that everyone could be more understanding of each other from this point on. She hoped that the Cass County Commission and the County Social Services Board, which is in accordance with State law, are now in communication with each other. Mrs. Stanton stated that the Social Services Director did not conform to what the County Commission requested him to do in the Minutes of March 29, 1988, for filling the position of Accountant I. A Building Authority meeting scheduled for today was postponed until next Tuesday due to the length of today's agenda items. A letter was received from County Auditor Ordelle Brua requesting salary adjustments for two employees involved in cross-training for two positions in that department. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded to approve a salary adjustment for Cheryl McQuade at $50.00 per month with an additional $50.00 per month for the first three months for training for the entry level accountant position, and a salary adjustment for Jo Winefeldt at $25.00 per month; these being effective April 18, 1988. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Stanton seconded that a letter from Gary Griffeth, spokesman for a group of property owners north of Hector International Airport on either side of County Road 20, requesting the creation of a special assessment district, be referred to the States Attorney for his opinion on the procedure to be followed. Motion carried. Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Larson seconded that a contract for legal services between the Southeast Cass Water Resource District and the Ohnstad Twichell Law Firm be referred to the States Attorney for his opinion; and that a letter be sent to the Southeast Cass Water Resource Board asking them not to act on any contracts for engineering or legal services until the County Commission hears from the States Attorney. Motion carried. An overtime report from the Oounty Social Services Department was referred to Commissioner Stanton.
