Comm. Minutes--January 8, 1991 604 MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded that effective January 18, 1991, Cass County will increase the cost of housing municipal prisoners by $7.00 per hour for those persons detained for alcohol related offenses and who need to remain there under the order of Municipal Judge Davies; and that the contract for holding municipal prisoners be amended to reflect this increase as well as the current rate of $12.50 per day (instead of $10.00 per day as shown in the agreement dated July 11, 1983) and the current $10.00 booking fee. Mr. Shannon asked the States Attorney to work out the details of the contract and bring it back to the County Commission. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. 25. SOCIAL SERVICE SPONSORSHIPS A recommendation was submitted on Social Service sponsorships by a sub-committee consisting of Commissioners Shannon and Wieland, Social Services Director Kathy Hogan, Ruth Ann Anderson and Jim Kappel. Kathy Hogan said the sub-committee reviewed all material that was submitted by all agencies requesting funds to be sure they were within the mission of the County Social Services agency. She said agencies were evaluated based on the criteria that was established in a policy approved by the Social Service Board on November 6, 1990. MOTION, failed Motion was made by Mrs. Toussaint to accept the sponsorship policy as established by the Social Service Board and accept the sub-committee sponsorship recommendation for payment for 1991. The motion failed for lack of a second. Mr. Risher asked if policy is already established, and Mrs. Toussaint said the Social Service Board adopted it in November, 1990. MOTION, ruled out of order Motion was made by Mr. Wieland to accept the sub-committee sponsorship recommendation for 1991 for the following agencies and amounts: F-M Sexual Abuse Treatment Program-- $2,900; New Life Center--S12,180; Nokomis--S13,125; Rape and Abuse Crisis Center--S26,850; YWCA--S14,111; and a discretionary fund of $8,950, of which $2,675 would be paid to the Island Park Activity Center to cover the first six months of 1991 with a review the second meeting in May to see the results of legislative efforts for State funding and determine at that time whether an additional $2,675 should be approved for the remainder of 1991. The Chairman ruled the motion out of order because he said the issue first is whether policy is adopted or not. He said giving funds to Island Park Activity Center doesn't follow the policy, in his opinion. He thinks discretionary funds were intended for agencies who meet the criteria of the policy. Discussion: Mr. Wieland said the discretionary fund falls under the policy that was adopted. He said the Commission should decide how to spend those funds.
