COMMITTEE REPORTS, ND County Commissioners Association, Road Department billp, Stanley Township letter~ Road Department auditt Harwood City Commission meeting Commissioner Alon Wieland was elected president of the North Dakota County Commissioners Association. Commissioners Toussaint, Eckert, Sondrall and Wieland attended the convention in Dickinson last week. Mrs. Toussaint asked if Commissioners Wieland and Eckert reviewed two Road Department vouchers which were questioned at the last' meeting. Mr. Eckert said they met with Don Richards about his mileage voucher, and it appears to be acceptable because it was for checking on roads. Mrs. Toussaint said there are 17 pick-ups or suburbans in the current Road Department inventory, and she thinks one of those should be available for Mr. Richards' use rather than using his own vehicle. Mr. Eckert said he will report back on this at the next meeting. Regarding the voucher for crack sealing, Mr. Eckert said he inspected the road and wasn't satisfied with the job but the Engineer was. Mr. Shannon received a letter from Tom Fischer, Stanley Township Board Chairman, dated November ?, 1990, about the County Road Department. There are funds in the current year budget to secure an accounting firm to do an analysis of Road Department activities, and Mr. Shannon recommended that Commissioners Wieiand and Eckert work with Mike Montplaisir and Scott Kildahl to convene a meeting as soon as possible to take necessary steps under Mr. Montplaisir's direction to hire a firm to begin a performance audit before year-end. Commissioners Wieland and Eckert were in agreement.
