Comm. Ninutes--July 3, 1990 484 13. REPLACEMENT FOR TREASURER, Appointed Mrs. Toussaint reported that she and Mr. Wieland met with Treasurer Maxine Liversage, Geoff Riches and Bob Hoy to discuss a replacement for Mrs. Liversage whose resignation as treasurer is effective August 1, 1990. Hrs. Toussaint said according the North Dakota Century Code, a treasurer must be appointed in the absence of the treasurer except within 30 days of a General Election. In order to comply with Century Code, the Commission must appoint someone to fill the position. It is in the best interest of Cass County to appoint a person who will provide continuity without it being construed as an endorsement by one or more County Commissioners. Carol Harrington has worked in the Treasurer's Office for 21 years, including 17 years as 2nd Deputy, and can provide the continuity and experience needed. NOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to appoint Carol Harrington as Cass County Treasurer to fill the unexpired term of Maxine Liversage effective August 1, 1990, and to expire the first Monday of May,.1991, at an annual salary to $28,548.00. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 14. COURTHOUSE WEST ENTRANCE SECURITY, Update Mr. Montptaisir met with Mr. Eckert, Mr. Sondrall, Mr. Riches, Sheriff Don Rudnick and Mr. Irv Holman, Architect, to discuss calling for bids on the west entrance project. They recommended the Sheriff's Department obtain pricing for insta'lling a camera security system in the west entrance, which would benefit the jail in monitoring people entering and leaving. Also, there was discussion on moving the after hours entrance (card lock system) to this location so there wou'ld be only one door for entering after working hours. Mr. Shannon questioned when this is scheduled to be completed and Mr. Montplaisir said tentatively by the end of the summer. Mr. Eckert was concerned about the doors at the Juvenile Detention Center being unlocked at certain times for meetings in the building and said he would contact the Sheriff's Department to see what can be done. 15. BIDS AWARDED FOR COMPUTER EQUIPMENT Mr. Steiner recommended the Commission accept the bid of Custom Computer Marketing, Inc. for $41,000 for the two systems. Individually, the highest bids were from the Fargo Police Department for $25,000 on System 1 and WisComp Systems, Inc. for $13,300 on System 2. The total of the two would be $38,300, a net difference of $2,700 compared to the bid of Custom Marketing, Inc. for $41,000. Captain Jim Kuchera spoke on behalf of the Police Department and asked the Commission to seriously consider their bid. Mr. Sondra11 feels that the County owes Fargo this courtesy of sacrificing the $2,700. Mr. Wieland said that Cass County has been accused of being uncooperative with the City of Fargo and therefore felt that the bid should be awarded to the Fargo Police Department.
