Comm. Minutes Special Meeting--September 30, 1991 ?52 10. 11. 12. The county has to comply with State law, and Mr. Wieland said senior citizen clubs need to know that State law is changing and funds must be spent for more specific items than in the past. JOB DEVELOPMENT Mr. Montplaisir said the budget request from Fargo-Cass County Economic Development Corporation is for $225,000 this year. One of their goals, he said, is to raise funds for a loan pool. Mr. Risher suggested approving the budget request this year with the idea that they seek a vote of the people on a separate tax levy. The question would have to be on the primary election ballot, according to Mr. Montplaisir, because levies are set prior to the November general election. However, he thinks it would only be an advisory vote with the commission making final determination. Mrs. Toussaint said the Cass County Commission, in 1990, voted to adopt a financing schedule for funding Fargo-Cass County Economic Development Corporation. In doing that, she said the county established an appropriation plan consistent with county core business and the ability to finance such organizations. She read the 1990 Cass County budget annotations. It was the consensus of the Commission to retain the $10,400 loan pool in Cass County's escrow until rules and regulations are established on how that money will be used. It was also the consensus to reduce the $225,000 budget request by $25,000, which was annotated in the budget as payment in 1992 toward construction costs for the NDSU Industrial Agriculture and Communication Center. SOCIAL SERVICES Consensus of the Commission to add $1,250 to Social Services budget for a fax machine. ADJOURNMENT At the close of budget hearings at 11:00 AM, the Chairman declared the meeting adjourned. ATTEST: APPROVED: Michael Montplaisir - Auditor Cass County, North Dakota Gene Shannon, Chairman Cass County Commission
