Minutes--January 8, 1991 602 COUNTY AUDIT REVIEW COMMITTEE, Appointed The Chairman recommended establishing a committee to review the requirements for fulfilling a County audit and recommend who should perform that audit. Hearing no objections, the committee will consist of the following: Michael Montplaisir, John Goff, Frank Racek, Commissioners Risher and Shannon. CDBG/Town and Country Roll-Off Service, Deferral of principal payments for two years Michael Montplaisir met with Kathy Nyhof of Town and Country Roll-Off Service concerning CDBG loan repayment schedule. He said the State will agree to defer payments but not forgive them. MOTION, passed Mr. Eckert moved and Mr. Risher seconded to approve the deferral of principal payments on the Town and Country Roll-Off Service CDBG loan for two years with monthly payments to begin in February, 1991, according to the repayment schedule prepared by the County Auditor and filed in that office, contingent upon Town and Country Roll-Off's agreement on the payment schedule and to the stipulations noted as follows: 1) Town and Country agrees to make monthly payments to Cass County according to Schedule B (filed in the County Auditor's office); 2) A system be established by Town and Country that will provide them with monthly financial statements. Town and Country may need to employ the services of an accountant to establish the accounting system and to prepare financial statements. Or, they may need to enroll in a program such as the Small Business Management Program recommended by Lake Agassiz Regional Council; 3) Town and Country establish a reasonable budget amount for employer draws, and withdraw that amount on a consistent basis. Personal expenses should not be paid from the business accounts. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. COUNTY-WIDE PAYMENT SYSTEM MOTION, passed Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Risher seconded to authorize County Coordinator Bonnie Johnson and Model Project Coordinator Scott Kildahl to review a county-wide payment system and deliver a preliminary report back to the Commission sometime in February. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. JUDICIAL PANEL RECOMMENDATIONS The judicial panel, established by the Commission to study jail sentencing and incarceration issues, met to discuss using the former Sheriff residence for work release prisoners, according to County Coordinator Bonnie Johnson. She said the plan is to re-configure the existing jail space in the most efficient manner possible and utilize the former Sheriff residence for administrative offices and non- essential services, such as laundry and storage.
