Comm. Minutes--November 20, 1990 567 Mr. Hoy said Cass County is being asked to restructure the loan so that the County would delay the ~,rincipal and interest, for a period of two years. A recommendation was made by Carl AJ_tenbernd, Lake Agassiz Regional Council, that Town & Country Boll-Off Service and Cass County establish a monthly payment schedule and a two-year deferral on interest payments only, contingent upon Gary and Kathy Nyhof's enrollment and participation in the Small Business Management Program course offered at the Regional Small Business Center. Mr. Hoy said Cass County can pursue collection on the entire amount according to the original contract, or the County can attempt to restructure it. He contacted the Office of Intergovernmental Assistance, and they take the position that Cass County needs to make the determination on how to collect the payments, and they will go along with that decision. 16. Mr. Hoy thinks the burden needs to be placed on the Nyhof's to justify why they can't make the payments and to indicate what financial responsibility they could manage at this time. Mr. Wieland said Mr. Altenbernd needs to make a more definite proposal to this Board on the basis of his knowledge and expertise on this project. MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Wieland seconded that Carl Altenbernd review the entire scope of this grant recipient and create a new business plan to accommodate his specific recommendations to the Cass County Commission, including financial statements to support those recommendations. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Shannon asked Mr. Eckert to pursue this with Mr. Altenbernd.

PLANNING COMMISSION, Moratorium on creating special assessment districts Mr. Wieland said the County Planning Commission appointed a committee to study problems with maintenance of asphalt streets in subdivisions where special assessment districts were created for that purpose.
