13. 14. Comm. Minutes--August 7, 1990 501 MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve the recommended action of the Cass County Planning Commission that the request for a variance from the Cass County Plattin~ and Land Subdivision ReRulations be denied as an undue hardship does not exist because: 1) no special circumstances or conditions affect the property such that strict application of the provisions of these regulations would deprive the applicant of the reasonable use of his land; 2) a variance is not needed for the preservation and enjoyment of a substantial property right; and, 3) granting the variance may be detrimental to the public welfare or injurious to other property. Inconvenience to a construction time table does not present an undue hardship. Application for subdivision approval to be processed as if it were a one-lot residential subdivision. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. EMERGENCY 911, Account history Glenn Ellingsberg was asked during the April 17, 1990, meeting of the Board of Cass County Commissioners to give an update at this meeting on the emergency 911 system. He estimated the 1990 year end balance will be $3,934. He said 4,300 residences were addressed, and 384 hours have been spent so far in 1990. About 99% of Cass County is addressed. In the future, Mr. Ellingsberg anticipated work on E-911 should not take more than 40 hours per month. Mr. Ellingsberg asked the Commission to approve payment of bills to Absaraka Cooperative Telephone Company and to Polar Communications for costs involved in implementing E-911. There were no objections to Mr. Shannon's suggestion to refer them to the accountant and include them in the consent agenda for the August 21st meeting. VOUCHERS, Approved Hr. Wieland reviewed the list of bills for this month and questioned the following: 1) purchase of medical supplies from Target Stores-- Sheriff Don Rudnick said they probably purchase supplies for the jail cheaper at Target but he will check on it. 2) Payment for a coffee hour that was held in Bismarck--it was originally scheduled for Fargo. 3) Court reporter services for two months--Personnel Director Geoff Riches said he recommended contracting those services out, but a court reporter was hired anyway to fill a vacancy. 4) Mileage for judges from other counties--one judge was on vacation and one had a conflict of interest. 5) $25 to The Forum for an advertisement authorized by the County Agent's Office for Vince Lindstrom, who recently resigned from the Fargo-Moorhead Convention and Visitor's Bureau--Mr. Wieland asked to have the check withheld because he questioned using county funds for this purpose. 6) Purchase of business cards for county employees--Mr. Wieland said this expense should be paid through individual department budgets, printing to be done on a contract, and the cards should be similar. Hr. Shannon said there is no consistency in terms of county letterhead either. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Toussaint seconded that Vouchers No. 16,366 through No. 17,253 be approved and ordered paid subject to review and authorization by Mr. Wieland on Voucher No. 16,891 for $25.00 to The Forum.
