Mr. Risher said FCCEDC will assist the City of Fargo with 1993 custom's service funding, as stipulated in the 1993 county budget. SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS, Appointment on part-time basis State's Attorney John Goff provided commissioners with a letter dated January 4, 1993, concerning the situation which exists whereby the presidents of the school boards of school districts within Cass County have rejected the amended plan for Cass County Superintendent of Schools because it calls for a part-time position. The presidents of the school districts support appointing Bruce Hoefs to the position of full-time superintendent. The North Dakota Legislature changed the position of county superintendent of schools from an elected position to an appointed position, and this became effective January 1, 1993.
