Comm. Minutes--April 20, 1992 847 Mrs. Hogan said SEHSC is looking at two sites, neither in the downtown Fargo area where they are presently located. Mr. Risher said about 90% of their clients live in the downtown area and probably don't drive. He suggested looking at current joint services. Commissioners could meet with Mr. Graham when he is in Fargo next Monday, according to Mrs. Hogan. She said SEHSC needs to relocate no later than October 31, 1992. Mrs. Hogan said the Social Services Department is crowded in the Courthouse and it is difficult to determine whether they are part of the county or not. She will meet with the Auditor and the Space and Planning Committee to attempt to develop a 3-5 year plan for space needs for her department. State's Attorney John Goff said office space is a topic of more and more immediacy among county departments. 22.

Another meeting is scheduled for July, and any department heads who have resolutions they want considered should submit them to her. Mr. Shannon said a software vendor, JALAN, has made some recent advances and a demonstration site is available for viewing integrated packages. Mr. Risher said bids were solicited and only one bid was received, from Moore Engineering Company, for solid waste management planning. Review of department work plans will be on the next Commission agenda, according to the County Coordinator. Bonnie Johnson said the fuel lines for the back-up generator for the Courthouse are insufficient and the fuel tank may have to be replaced. Cost of a new tank would be about $21,000. The Auditor has an estimate of $1,000 to test the soil for fuel leakage from the present tank. Mr. Wieland asked Mr. Montplaisir, Glenn Ellingsberg and Commissioner Eckert to review the situation and they should contact other Commissioners for advice if necessary.
