Comm. Minutes--August 21, 1995 1379 <br /> <br />15. <br /> <br />16. <br /> <br />17. <br /> <br />18. <br /> <br />WORK PLAN REPORTS <br />Work plans were submitted by all department heads, except Extension Services and the <br />County Auditor. Portfolio commissioners should have work plans from these two departments <br />by the end of this week. <br /> <br />REFUGEE PROGRAM; SECURITY STATION STAFFING, Committee reports <br />Mrs. Toussaint reported that she has been in contact with United States Senator Byron <br />Dorgan regarding state and federal budget cuts and the affect on the refugee program. It was <br />learned that the State of North Dakota can apply to the federal government for a waiver to stop <br />participating in the refugee program. No objection was voiced by other commissioners to have <br />Cass County Social Services apply for a waiver through the state from the refugee <br />resettlement program for the reason that the county is already paying for more and more <br />programs because of state and federal cuts. <br /> <br />In a memorandum to commissioners dated August 21, 1995, Mr. Ness suggested establishing <br />a committee to study options for staffing the security stations in the Courthouse and the Cass <br />County Government Annex. Hearing no objections, the committee will consist of Don Rudnick, <br />Judge Norman Backes, Bonnie Johnson, Mary Hall, Kathy Hogan and Mike Montplaisir. This <br />committee will be asked to make a recommendation back to the commission in time to <br />complete the 1996 budget. <br /> <br />CORRESPONDENCE, Received and filed MOTION, passed <br /> Mrs. Toussaint moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to receive and file <br /> correspondence outlined by the secretary as follows: Motion carried. <br /> <br />response from North Dakota Department of Transportation that they will not grant a <br />request from Cass County Government to provide on/off ramps at Interstate 29 and <br />County Road 32; <br /> <br />update from Brad Schmidt, Cass County Electric Cooperative, dated August 18, 1995, <br />on joint communication system. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT MOTION, passed <br /> On motion by Mr. Wieland and seconded by Mrs. Toussaint, the meeting <br /> was adjourned at 4:00 PM. <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />APPROVED: <br /> <br />Michael Montplaisir-County Auditor <br />Cass County, North Dakota <br /> <br /> e~rni~Ness, C~h irman <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br /> <br />
