MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Ness seconded to authorize the Cass County Commission Chair to sign project application as discussed today, subject to review by the State's Attorney, and authorizing a special meeting of the Cass County Board of Commissioners, if necessary, in the event that the application is amended prior to its submission. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT, Housing disaster recovery assistance Mr. Sovig requested sponsorship of an application for housing disaster recovery assistance under the Community Development Block Grant Program for Bryan and Janice Johnson, at a total project cost of $56,400. He said the project will be for buy-out and demolition of their present home, which is located in the flood plain along the Sheyenne River 1~ miles north of Cass County Road #20 on Cass #17, and to relocate the family to a comparable replacement home. The County Auditor reviewed the housing assistance application and said the best use for the lot may be to sell it to a neighboring home- owner because the county would have no purpose for owning it. Mr. Sovig said the County will own the land, and they can sell it but it will have limited use. Mr. Wieland said a restrictive covenant must be placed on the deed to prohibit constructing any future buildings on the land because it is in the flood plain. MOTION, passed Mr. Risher moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to adopt the resolution of sponsorship and authorize the chairman to sign 1993 Application for Housing Disaster Recovery Assistance North Dakota Community Development Block Grant Program for Bryan and Janice Johnson. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. COMMISSION POLICY MANUAL, Advisory Boards Section 4.00~ amended Mr. Eckert asked to have this item moved from the consent agenda to the regular agenda so he could review applications of the people not being recommended for an appointment. He said one applicant, Mark Andrews III, does not live in the Rush River Water Resource District, and he believes this is a requirement for serving on that board. Mr. Risher said he did not have an opportunity to review applications and asked about the qualifications of the new applicant for Social Services Advisory Board, Brian Hagen. Mrs. Toussaint said she reviewed the applications in the Commission Secretary's Office, and she also discussed the appointment with Social Services Director Kathy Hogan, who gave Mr. Hagen a good reference. Mr. Risher suggested deferring appointments until the next meeting, however, Mr. Ness said some of the boards meet the first week in January and those appointments should be made today. Mr. Wieland suggested that Mr. Risher select which appointments he wants deferred to the next meeting. Mr. Risher asked to defer the Rush River Water Resource District appointment, and Mrs. Toussaint asked him to research this for the next meeting.
