204 <br /> <br /> Mr. Eckert stated that the Board needs to address the situation <br />of office space in Social Services. He has visited with the Director, <br />Tom' Jensen, and it appears there are two employees without office <br />space. Mr. Wieland suggested that the Social Services Board Room be <br />divided to accommodate the necessary number of office systems, until <br />the Commission can address the space issue properly. The Social <br />Services Board could hold their meetings in the County Commission <br />Room since they meet on different days. <br /> <br /> Mr. Shannon stated that the County needs to review how Social <br />Service employees are spending their time, and review methods to <br />reduce their waiting time to access the computer system. Mr. Eckert <br />stated that last fall the County Commission agreed to allow flexible <br />hours for the eligibility staff because of computer problems. He <br />received a report on the variable time schedule from Alvin Johnson <br />and an indication from Social Services Board Chairman Florenz <br />Bjornson that they have agreed to continue the variable time <br />schedule. The variable time schedule will be placed on the County <br />Commission agenda for the March 21st meeting. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Shannon seconded that a letter be sent <br />to Social Services asking them to review space needs and propose a <br />plan that they feel is workable as far as the number of spaces needed <br />and what is anticipated in the future, and that the Social Service <br />Board space committee present it to the County Commission at any of <br />the next regularly scheduled meetings. Motion carried. <br /> <br /> A bill was received in the amount of $2,000 from the Eide <br />Helmeke Company on the Bob Black report. Mr. Eckert stated that the <br />County has paid $4,000 and owes them $2,000. Finance charges <br />have been added on this $2,000. Mr. Wieland moved that the County <br />pay the balance of $2,000 and send a letter stating that the County <br />had not received the final report at the time the finance charges <br />began to accrue. Mr. Shannon did not feel the County should send an <br />explanation since the final report was not presented until mid <br />February. Mr. Wieland withdrew his motion. Mr. Wieland then moved and <br />Mr. Shannon seconded to pay $2,000 to Eide Helmeke Company on the <br />Bob Black Report. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Shannon seconded to appoint <br />Commissioner Shannon to the Cass County Courthouse Art Committee to <br />replace former Commissioner, Jeannette Stanton. Motion carried. <br /> <br /> Mr. Wieland reported on a letter from the Fargo-Cass County <br />Economic Development Corporation concerning an opening which Cass <br />County has as of April 12, 1989. The matter will be placed on the <br />March 21st agenda. <br /> <br /> Overtime reports for February were received from the County <br />Auditor's Office and County Social Services. The Commissioners <br />suggested contacting County department heads to remind them of the <br />policy on submitting overtime reports. <br /> <br /> On motion by Mr. <br />meeting was adjourned. <br /> <br />Shannon and seconded by Mr. <br /> <br />Wieland, the <br /> <br /> <br />
