Comm. Minutes--January 13, 1992 807 County Park funds for improvements at the campsite but was contingent upon a new agreement being drafted between Cass County and the Fair Association for operation of the campsite, according to minutes of the Cass County Park Board. Mr. Shannon said he is embarrassed by the past history on this situation and that a new agreement was not drafted, but he said the agreement won't be necessary if the Red River Valley Fair Association accepts the land from the County. Mr. Wieland took the blame for not getting this matter resolved and suggested a meeting of the Cass County Park Board in February or March. RED RIVER VALLEY FAIR ASSOCIATION, Potential sale of land MOTION, passed Mr. Shannon moved and Mr. Risher seconded that the Cass County State's Attorney prepare a draft document which would make a gift from Cass County to Red River Valley Fair Association of the land known as Red River Valley Fair- grounds, excluding the County Road Department property, but including the campsite and Bonanzaville, with considera- tions given for the County assuming special assessment property taxes as exist of record or as might exist over the next l§-year period; and that when reviewed by the Commission, the final draft be formally presented to the Red River Valley Fair Association for their consideration. At the call for the question and upon roll call vote, the motion carried with Mr. Shannon, Mr. Risher and Mr. Wieland voting "Aye," Mr. Eckert opposing. MOTION, withdrawn Mr. Risher moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to allow the Red River Valley Fair Association to erect 'two buildings as requested at the last meeting. Discussion: The motion and second were withdrawn because it appears it would be redundant. The State's Attorney said it is his opinion that the Fair Association doesn't need county approval to erect buildings as long as it is within the corporate purpose of the fair. He advised the Fair Association to consult with their attorney before beginning construction· Mr. Wieland asked if the Red River Valley Fair Association understands the Commission's action today, and Mr. Anderson said he did. He could see the benefit of the Fair Association owning the land when they need to borrow money. He appreciated the County Commissioners taking the time to hold this special meeting and invited them to attend the Fair Association's meeting January 14th at 7:00 PM at the fairgrounds. ADJOURNMENT MOTION, passed On motion by Mr. Shannon and seconded by Mr. Risher, Chairman declared the meeting adjourned. the ATTEST: APPROVED: Michael Montplaisir - County Auditor Cass County, North Dakota Alon Wieland, Chairman Cass County Commission
