Comm. Minutes--September 21, 1990 539 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. DRUG RESTITUTION FUND, E-911 AND CORONER, BudRets approved Mr. Montplaisir said E-911 Service Fund and Drug Restitution Fund do not require tax dollars. E-911 is financed from monthly hook-up fees, and Drug Restitution is financed from the Sheriff Department's share of drug busts. The County has a contract for coroner services, and $65,000 is budgeted for 1991 for continuation of this contract. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Hr. Eckert seconded to approve the 1991 budgets for Drug Restitution, E-911 Service, and Coroner. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, Budget approved MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve Superintendent of Schools budget as amended, following policy adopted earlier today regarding salary of newly elected officials. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. EMERGENCY FUND, Removed from budget Mr. Montplaisir suggested not approving $400,000 as budgeted for Emergency Fund. He said the money is in a savings account, and the Commission can approve a budget in the case of an emergency. If money is budgeted, it appears the $400,000 is being spent when, in fact, it is not. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mrs. Toussaint seconded to remove the Emergency Fund from the budget with the understanding that money is in savings and if needed in time of emergency, the Commission would immediately create the budget item for Emergency Fund and move the money from savings to that fund. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. JOB DEVELOPMENT LEVY, Budget approved Mr. Montplaisir said the Commission indicated in the 1990 budget that there would be a 5% reduction in this levy, to be established as a loan pool. The Job Development request for 1991 is in accordance with this budget amendment from 1990. MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to acknowledge the amendment and approve the Job Development Levy budget. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. RED RIVER VALLEY FAIR LEVY, BudRet approved The Red River Valley Fair Association requested $102,200 for 1991. Cass County budgets money toward trophies, premiums, and general liability insurance according to a 1990 budget annotation. However, the budget sheet submitted by the Fair Association includes money to pay for the following items which were not included in the 1990 budget annotation: 1) picnic and donation of Fantastickets, 2) security, staff, supplies, bedding for livestock, and 3) superinten- dents. Mr. Wieland suggested reducing the budget request by $10,000.
