Comm, Minutes--October 16, 1990 552 17, 18. 19. PLAT OF C L SUBDIVISION, DURBIN TOWNSHIP County Planner Earl Haugen wrote a 'letter to the Commission dated October 12, 1990, indicating the County Planning Commission approved final plat of the C L Subdivision located in Section 12, Durbin Township, with three conditions as follows: 1) provide a refinement agreement of the Amoco Oil Pipe Line easement; 2) construct drainage and dike with the slope of 4:1 as per approval by Maple River Water Resource District; 3) comply with all township regulations and codes. Mr. Shannon asked Mr. Haugen if there is a disclaimer or something on the plat that tells prospective buyers whose responsibility it is for the roads in the subdivision. Mr. Haugen said the road system is maintained by the State of North Dakota, but the final plat doesn't have a disclaimer to that effect. Mr. Shannon said he can think of no instance where this shouldn't be included on all plats. NOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve the final plat of C L Subdivision with conditions as stated by County Planning Commission, authorize the Chairman to sign the plat, and adding a disclaimer that Cass County will not be responsible for roads in the subdivision. Mr. Shannon asked the County Planner to incorporate this on all plats approved by the County. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. LEGISLATIVE ISSUES, Effect on Social Services, A~enda for October 27 Mrs. Toussaint said County Social Services started some activity on .recommendations from the "model" report concerning legislation. She said the State Department of Human Services informed the County Social Service Director that proposed State budget cuts for the next biennium will result in about $400,000 of increased obligations to Cass County for social service programs. Mr. Shannon said, in regard to the December 5th vote, the State seems to interpret the vote as not cutting state spending but having counties pay for the services. Mr. Shannon reminded Commissioners of recent correspondence from Mike Montplaisir concerning additional pressures on county property taxes at the federal 'level. Mr. Wieland reported that a meeting with legislative candidates and department heads on potential legislative issues has been scheduled for October 27th at 1:30 p.m. in the Juvenile Justice Center. JAIL INMATES, Work detail discussed Mr. Sondrall asked how approval was obtained for having prisoners clean rubbish from the former sheriff residence. Mr. Shannon said Sheriff Rudnick and Walt Willis, Chief Correctional Officer, pledged their cooperation in using prisoners for certain work detail. The States Attorney verified that this could be done if prisoners were covered under Workmen's Compensation. Mr. Shannon reviewed it with Mike Montplaisir and Geoff Riches, who inquired of State Job Services. They informed the County of the legal framework for doing this so the County is covered from any liability. Mr. Sondrall asked about using prisoners to clear snow from sidewalks, and Mr. Shannon suggested that he talk to Mr. Willis about it.
