Comm. Minutes--February 3, 1992 821 Jim Hahn asked how the current oversight responsibility of the Cass County Commission to the fair and Bonanzaville will change by this agreement. Mr. Garaas said the Red River Valley Fair Association is a North Dakota non-profit organization that is the county fair within Cass County. He said if the Fair Association ever becomes defunct, all of their assets, personal and real property, will become county property, according to state law. He said that position doesn't change because of the proposed agreement. Also, Mr. Garaas said the Cass County Commission has oversight to the extent that the Fair Association receives a portion of a discretionary mill levy for operation of the fair, and, by practice, the Commission has identified that they want the funds to go towards premiums, 4-H exhibitions and agriculture. Cliff Melroe asked if Bonanzaville will continue to receive the one- quarter mill levy they are currently receiving, and Mr. Wieland said the maximum that can be voted upon is one-quarter mill for a historical society, according to State law. Kyle Anderson, President of the Red River Valley Fair Association, said the Fair Board doesn't intend to change the good relationship they have had with Bonanzaville.
