Comm. Minutes--January 8, 1991 599 Discussion: Mr. Shannon asked what the Sheriff Department intends to do with the vehicles they are replacing, and Lt. Majerus said the 1982 model could possibly be used by the Road Department in a non-emergency situation. The 1985 vehicle needs a new motor and will continue to be used by the Sheriff Department. He said the Sheriff budgeted for five other vehicles in 1991 so those replacements could be made available for Social Services. Mr. Wieland said he asked the Sheriff and staff to provide the Commission with a chart of vehicles showing placement of vehicles, who is using them and what times. The Commission could see if there are vehicles not being used during the day that may be used by Social Services. On roll cal vote, motion carried unanimously. 13. APPOINTMENTS TO BOARDS, Delayed, except to fill unexpired Planning Commission term Mr. Shannon asked that appointments to boards be delayed until February to allow more time for receiving applications. This was agreeable to the other Commissioners with one exception, this being to fill an unexpired term on the County Planning Commission due to a resignation. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to appoint Linda Gaughan of West Fargo, from Commission District #4, to complete the unexpired term of Curtis Hildahl on the Cass County Planning Commission. Said term will expire December 31, 1993. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. 14. REGISTER OF DEEDS, Automation/Out of state travel Data Processing Manager Mike Steiner has been working with IBM Corporation on a way to computerize the Register of Deeds office. He said they recommend traveling to Fayette County, Kentucky, to attend an Electronic Filing Cabinet (EFC) demonstration at a cost of about $1,350 per person attending. Mr. Risher asked if IBM would reimburse the travel costs if the County buys the equipment, and Mr. Steiner said it may be negotiable. Tax Director Frank Klein said computerizing Register of Deeds records may allow for them to be tied into the county's tax system, which would be very beneficial. Mr. Shannon asked Auditor Michael Montplaisir how the county would pay the expenses, and he said it could be paid from the budget of the departments attending the demonstration or from contingency funds if a particular department did not have money budgeted for such an expense. Register of Deeds Deanna Kensrud said she did not budget for this travel. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to grant permission for out of state travel for Deanna Kensrud, Mike Steiner and Commissioner Steve Risher to attend the Electronic Filing Cabinet (EFC) demonstration in Fayette County, Kentucky, at a cost of approximately $1,350 per person to be borne by the attending department or the contingency fund. On roll call vote, motion carried
