Comm. Minutes--February 18, 1992 827 15. Mr. Eckert said an accumulation of problems at the Road Department can be worked out in time. He said there may be some extra costs involved in having staff from Charles Bailly and Company continue to work with county personnel, but he thinks it is necessary for them to continue. Mr. Wieland said Donald W. Richards, who served as Cass County Engineer for the past six years, died last week and his funeral was held on Monday, February 17th. COMMITTEE REPORTS, Red River Valley Fair meeting, NACo conference, copy machine replacement, Trollwood Park, County Planning membership, Joint Services Committee, jail remodeling, employee wage study Commissioners received notice of a meeting of the Red River Valley Fair Association on February 27th at 7:00 PM at the Kelly Inn, Fargo. Mr. Risher and Mr. Shannon will be attending a National Association of Counties (NACo) legislative conference in Washington, DC so cannot attend the fair board meeting on February 27th. Also, they cannot attend the County Commission meeting on March 2nd, which is the last day of the NACo conference. Mr. Shannon said the copy machine located in the Human Resource Office, which is used by other offices on first floor, is repeatedly broken down and makes substandard copies. He asked the Auditor to find a budget source that can be used to purchase a new copier. Mr. Shannon asked the secretary to file a copy of an agreement dated October 18, 1973, concerning the County-City Park, known as Trollwood. Commissioners received a letter and revised copy of the Cass County Planning Commission by-laws from County Planner Earl Haugen. The by- laws on County Planning Commission membership were changed to reflect the language in the North Dakota Century Code, according to Mr. Haugen, and he said appointing one at-large member rather than a second Cass County Commissioner could now be allowed. Mr. Shannon is not in favor of reducing County Commission participation on the County Planning Commission. Instead, he thinks the Commission can review the membership if a home rule charter is adopted. County Coordinator Bonnie Johnson said the trip to Sioux Falls, SD, scheduled for this Friday, to view their E-911 system was canceled. She said the next meeting of the Joint Services Committee will be February 25th. Ms. Johnson said remodeling at the County Jail is about 99% completed. She invited Commissioners to attend the walk-through inspection tomorrow at 10:00 AM. The Ernst & Young wage classification study final preliminary report will be reviewed by the Human Resource Committee at their next meeting, which is scheduled for Monday, February 24th, at 10:30 AM.
