Comm. Minutes--August 17, 1992 905 17. NOTE: The Cass County Commission cannot be expected to make knowledgeable decisions nor to assume responsibility for those decisions other than as set forth in a contract for service since this commission does not have full involvement in the entire process of loan application reviews, the appointment of board members, the hiring of staff, and establishment of salaries, personnel policies and procedures. F) Cass County taxpayer dollars, not exceeding the revenue generated from 2.7 mills for budget year 1993, will be released to the described "no risk loan pool" to match any cash donation of a dollar to the same "no risk loan pool" so long as the dollar was not originally levied by Cass County Government. No in-kind or non-cash donations of any manner will be matched with county taxpayer money or services. G) As requested by FCCEDC, county funds donated to this loan pool, if made, will not go beyond Cass County budgeting year 1996. H) The Cass County Treasurer will be custodian of this "no risk loan pool" until FCCEDC obtains proper federal IRS tax status which allows donations to the pool to be tax-exempt. i) FCCEDC is required to obtain appropriate IRS tax designation on or before July 1, 1993. At that time, all non-county source funds of any kind which may be held by Cass County Government on behalf of FCCEDC are to be promptly transferred to FCCEDC under the direction of the County Auditor. J) Cass County Government expresses its support for the efforts to increase the economic base of this community and acknowledges that FCCEDC is an independent entity organized under its own bylaws, that it appoints its own board of directors, it hires its own staff for whom it also set qualifications and compensation and is responsible for its own personnel policies and procedures. FCCEDC is not a job development authority organized under state statute by Cass County Government; Cass County State's Attorney is not an attorney for FCCEDC and FCCEDC does not have authority to use the sales tax exemption number granted by the State of North Dakota for use by Cass County Government. Dated at Fargo, North Dakota, this 17th day of August, 1992.
