Comm. Minutes--November 16, 1992 956 18. WEED/VECTOR CONTROL, Discussion on 1993 budget options MOTION, passed Mr. Shannon moved and Mr. Risher seconded to request the State's Attorney to provide in writing the county's core responsibility for weed control and vector control and to explore ways that various other departments in the county might be utilized for a more efficient operation in Cass County. Discussion: Mr. Eckert said there is no mention of communication or input from the weed department and no indication of which other departments might be combined. Also, he thinks it inappropriate to take action without the entire commission present. Mr. Risher said the commission is only asking the State's Attorney to determine what can and cannot be done legally. Mrs. Toussaint said the commission isn't making a decision today but is asking what the responsibilities are for these two departments. At the call for the question and on roll call vote, the motion carried with Mr. Shannon, Mr. Risher and Mrs. Toussaint voting "Aye," Mr. Eckert opposing. 19. SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT, Payment to Professional Computer Software Services A memo was received from Data Processing Coordinator Michael Steiner requesting payment to Professional Computer Software Services (PCSS) upon installation of court and state's attorney software. Mr. Shannon said he understood that installation of the software would be concurrent with a training schedule. Mr. Golf said the training schedule needs to be completed by early next year, which will coincide with modifications for each department. MOTION, passed Mr. Shannon moved and Mr. Risher seconded to allow the County Auditor to issue a check in the amount of $30,000 to Professional Computer Software Services per terms of the license agreement. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. 20. STATE'S ATTORNEY OFFICE SPACE; COURTHOUSE DRAINAGE; ELECTION WORKERS; INTERNATIONAL COALITION ANNUAL MEETING; HOME RULE PANEL DISCUSSION, Committee reports State's Attorney John Golf expressed appreciation for additional space which his department acquired by utilizing a fourth floor hallway, and he publicly thanked the Regional Child Support Office for donating their used filing cabinets to his department. Mr. Eckert said he waited several weeks for a company to resolve the drainage problem around the courthouse, and the curb cuts have now been made but the work hasn't been completed as agreed upon. Mr. Montplaisir thanked the commission for the letter of commendation to his staff and other county departments who assisted him on election night. He said it would have been impossible to run the election without the cooperation of a number of other county offices, such as the treasurer and tax director offices who helped throughout the election process with absentee ballots, and the Sheriff's Department who assisted by picking up ballots after rural voting precincts closed. Sheriff deputies delivered ballots to the courthouse so
