Comm. Minutes--November 4, 1991 769 rather than voting members. Mrs. Toussaint said there has been some confusion in the past regarding the roles and relationship between the County Board of Commissioners and the County Social Services Board, but the ultimate decision normally comes back to the County Commission. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. 12. APPROACH APPROVED ON COUNTY ROAD 17, Section 6 in Stanley Township Mr. Wieland recommended allowing an approach, as requested by the Southeast Cass Water Resource District, for Mr. Allan Peterson in the SE 1/4 of Section 6, Stanley Township. He said Mr. Peterson is being assessed in the Sheyenne River flood control project for three lots but only has access to one of those lots. Rather than following county policy, which allows one access per one-half mile, Mr. Wieland recommended allowing this one approach to provide access to the other two lots. He said the approach will be subject to meeting specifications of the County Engineer and will be paid for by the property owner. Mr. Eckert asked if this would change the flood control assessment, but Mr. Wieland did not believe it would. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to allow Allan Peterson to install an approach to County Road 17 from his property in the SE 1/4 of Section 6, Stanley Township, subject to installation of the approach meeting county specifications and the cost of said approach being paid by the property owner. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. 13. APPRAISAL OF TAX-FORFEITED LOTS, Hearin~ held The Chairman said this was the time and place designated for a public hearing on appraisal of tax-forfeited lots. No one was present at this time to speak on the matter, and the public hearing was closed. 14. POLICY APPROVED, Disposal of fixed assets Annette Ingulsrud from the County Auditor's Office asked the Commission to adopt a policy for the disposal, transfer or sale of previously tagged fixed assets so that it is a uniform policy for all county departments to follow. She explained the procedure for disposing of fixed assets, as outlined on page 9 of the "Fixed Assets System - User Manual" which she prepared and distributed to all county departments. A copy of said manual is on file in the Auditor's Office. MOTION, passed Mr. Risher moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve the fixed assets disposal policy as presented. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. 15. COUNTY COORDINATOR POSITION, Appointment of Bonnie Johnson To ensure continuity of services at this time, Mr. Wieland said it wouldn't be in the County's best interests to publicly advertise for new applicants for the county coordinator position. The Commission approved funds for continuation of the position in the 1992 budget.
