Comm. Minutes--January 21, 1991 614 States Attorney John Goff said the Sheriff's Office is in the process of conducting an investigation of the Windbreak Saloon on the sale of alcohol on Sundays. After reviewing the statutes, he said he doesn't think the statutory authority to approve permits for special events is aimed at events which are local in nature, but it is up to the board of county commissioners to determine if this qualifies as a special event. Mr. Eckert didn't think the request conforms with State law. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to deny the request of the Windbreak Saloon for a special event permit to sell alcohol on Sunday, January 27, 1991, until 1:00 AM. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 23. LIABILITY INSURANCE PREMIUMS, Employees' vehicles At the last Commission meeting, the mileage reimbursement rate was increased for qualified mileage for all departments. Mr. Eckert asked if consideration should be given to employees' whose insurance premiums may be higher because of transporting clients on a routine basis in their own vehicles. However, he said one insurance agent told him insurance premiums would not be affected by this. Auditor Michael Montplaisir said County policy requires that employees furnish proof of vehicle insurance, and he plans to instruct employees to include their insurance policy number on their mileage vouchers with beginning and ending mileage for each trip. 24. ROAD DEPARTMENT, Vehicle use policy Mr. Eckert said Road Department vehicles are being used to the extent that he feels it would not be convenient for the Engineer to use one that may not be available at all times. He said the Commission could authorize the purchase of a vehicle for the Engineer or continue to pay him mileage for the use of his own vehicle. Mr. Eckert provided a list of Road Department vehicles and how they are used. Mrs. Toussaint said the Commission wants a vehicle use policy for Road Department vehicles like the Sheriff has been requested to provide for vehicles in that fleet. 25. ROAD DEPARTMENT, Gasoline tank/request for State funds Mr. Shannon asked Mr. Eckert if State funds were requested to replace a gasoline tank at the Road Department. Mr. Eckert said an underground tank was removed and an above ground tank was installed. He said the State Health Department specified that the clean-up of some spilled oil be done by a private contractor with state funds being available if clean-up efforts exceeded $75,000. He said the cost for clean-up at the Road Department was about $3,000. 26. SOCIAL SERVICE SPONSORSHIP POLICY, Discretionary fund discussed Mr. Eckert said he believes the Social Services Board should decide on expenditures from the discretionary fund in the Social Service sponsorship policy.
