91 <br /> <br />people in Harwood, Reile's Acres, and North River. Nr. Eckert <br />volunteered to contact people in Tower City and Gardner for their <br />recommendations. The motion to reappoint the three persons <br />recommended so far voted upon and carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> For the County Weed Control Board, Mrs. Stanton moved and <br />Mr. Larson seconded that Irvin Dietrich of Fargo and John Hoag of <br />Hunter be reappointed. Motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> For the Cemeteries <br />Mr. Sondra11 seconded that <br />carried unanimously. <br /> <br />Authority, Mrs. Stanton moved and <br />Alton Johnson be reappointed. Motion <br /> <br /> Don Richards, County Engineer, reported on plans to upgrade a <br />two-mile section of County Road 31. Projected costs are $60,000 a <br />mile for earthwork and part of the base, $162,000 a mile for <br />blacktop. ($444,000 in total for the two miles.) $120,000 was <br />already authorized to be spent this year. Russ Stubbs from Encore <br />Realty was present to inform the board that residents in the area <br />served by the road are willing to pay voluntarily towards upgrading <br />of the road, primarily McCormick Development, the developer of <br />Highland Park, who has pledged $50,000. A majority of residents in <br />Highland Park, Stockman's Addition, and North River are also willing <br />to pay each $367. Approximately $68,000 towards the road will thus <br />come from private funds. <br /> <br /> Mr. Larson discussed making a special district of this area, <br />however, Mr. Wieland pointed out that time for this is prohibitive, <br />and by going ahead with it now the County gets this help with <br />funding. It would normally be done next year. Mr. Richards pointed <br />out that McCormick Development and the residents have been made aware <br />that completion is not a certainty this year, being dependent on good <br />weather conditions, and they are still agreeable. Mr. Larson moved <br />that upon the States Attorney's approval of this type of funding and <br />deposit of the funds into escrow, that construction of the road and <br />blacktopping to an amount of $440,000 with a contribution from <br />McCormick Development and residents to be escrowed. Upon question <br />from Mr. Sondrall, Mr. Richards informed the board that the detour <br />will be a township road one mile to the West. On roll call vote, the <br />motion carried unanimously. Don Richards was directed to coordinate <br />with States Attorney Hoy and the Commission members on the financing <br />details. <br /> <br /> In other road work, the bridge south of Durbin was nearly <br />finished, to be opened in a month. Asphalt work is proceeding well. <br />They are working on their fourth bridge repair. Mrs. Stanton <br />inquired about responses from the two townships where bridges had <br />been closed, but there have been none received by the Road <br />Department. <br /> <br /> The nominees for the County Judge vacancy which have been named <br />by the Judicial Nominating Committee are Gary S. Gronneberg, Larry F. <br />Nordick, Frank L. Racek, and Donald H. Shoop. Mr. Larson moved that <br />this item be put on the agenda for a final decision two weeks from <br />today. Mrs. Stanton seconded. Mr. Wieland informed the Board that <br />he is going to contact each candidate and to talk to the chairman of <br />the Judicial Nominating Committee. Upon inquiry by Mr. Sondrall, it <br /> <br /> <br />
