Comm. Minutes--June 6, 1989 266 <br /> <br />Mr. Richards stated that there are some items that need to be <br />clarified. However, it appears that this site will be eligible for <br />Federal disaster money to replace the bridge with a road at an <br />estimated cost of $30,000.00. The road would have to be a public <br />road, and right of way would need to be acquired. Mr. Richards <br />stated that the County's previous offer to remove the bridge at no <br />cost to the township still stands. Mr. Solberg stated that his <br />letter contained a number of questions pertaining to all of the <br />bridges in Stanley Township, and he would like to know the County's <br />position. Again, Mr. Wieland stated that the letter was referred to <br />the County Engineer for his response to the County Commission. <br /> <br />19. SOCIAL SERVICES, ComPuter system <br />Tom Jensen, County Social Services Director, appeared before the <br />Board regarding a shortfall in the budget line item for the computer <br />system. He stated that the next quarterly billing will come some <br />time in July, and he has already expended the budget line item after <br />making only two quarterly payments in this calendar year. <br />Mr. Wieland offered to write a letter to the State Human Services <br />Department inquiring about the cost of the computer system, and the <br />other Commissioners were in agreement. In the meantime, Mr. Eckert <br />suggested that the County Social Services Board look at addressing <br />this from another line item in the Social Services budget. <br /> <br />20. WEED CONTROL, Mobile radios purchased MOTION, passed <br /> Upon the request of Wayne Oolberg, Weed Control Officer, <br /> Mr. Sondrall moved and Mrs. Toussaint seconded that the <br /> Weed Control Board be authorized to purchase four mobile <br /> radio units at an approximate cost of $3,200 with funding <br /> to be taken from the temporary salaries line item in the <br /> Weed Control budget. Glenn Ellingsberg was present and <br /> stated that it is very important to have a radio system for <br /> use in the field vehicles for safety purposes. Mr. Shannon <br /> felt this is a management decision and suggested that Mr. <br /> Colberg discuss the transfer of funds with the County <br /> Accountant for future budget comparisons. On roll call <br /> vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br /> <br />21. HISTORICAL SOCIETY, Agriculture building, Annual Report <br />Hr.

The railroad ties have been donated. <br /> <br />Mr. Schroeder reminded the Commission that two years ago, a concrete <br />slab was added for an agriculture building, and he requested a permit <br />to proceed with construction plans.
