Motion carried. 25, SOCIAL SERVICE BOARD & COUNTY COMNISSION, Exchange minutes Mr. Wieland stated that in light of yesterday's discussion with the County Social Services Board in regard to communication, it is apparent that the two Boards are not aware of what the other is doing. MOT~ON, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Shannon seconded to send a copy of the minutes of future Cass County Commission meetings to every Social Service Board member at their home address, and to make a formal request to the Cass County Social Service Board and it's secretary that a copy of the minutes of future Social Service Board meetings be sent to every member of the Cass County Commission at their home address. Mr. Shannon reminded the Commissioners of Mrs. Toussaint's comment today that she has been trying to have things added to the Social Service Board minutes which she feels are pertinent. She indicated that the Social Service Board was specifically asked if they wanted to evaluate the Director, Tom Jensen, and they declined because of the time element. NK. Shannon felt that the Social Service Board minutes do not reflect enough detail, and Mrs. Toussaint stated that the minutes are the only document that the Social Service Board or County Commission can refer back to in case of questions. Motion carried. 26. PERSONNEL DIRECTOR, Office soace survey Mr. Wieland reported that the committee for the selection of a Personnel Director held a meeting, and he will be dealing with the problem of where to physically locate this person. He suggested sending a survey form to other County departments asking them to assess their future space needs. Mr. Shannon stated that Glenn Ellingsberg made an interesting observation to him about some type of environmental impact statement between departments, and Mr. Shannon suggested asking departments what their future staffing needs will be. 27. SOCIAL SERVICES, Office space Mr. Eckert stated that he has seen a plan for utilizing the Social Service Board room for office space. Mr. Wieland stated that this plan was devised when there appeared to be an urgent need for offices in Social Services this spring. However, nothing has been done for the past 5 months, and he suggested delaying it further until a survey has been completed of other offices needing additional space. 28. SHERIFF'S RESIDENCE, Office space possibility Mr. Shannon reminded the Commissioners that the Sheriff's Residence, adjacent to the jail, is an asset of the County which could be made into useable space and should not be ignored. 29, COUNTY RECORDS, Copyi~ charge Mr. Shannon reported that he is still doing some research on copying charges of County records.
