SHERIFF/ROAD DEPARTMENT, Transportation emergencies/purchase of sign trailer Glenn Ellingsberg and Keith Berndt are members of an Incident Command Committee of the Fargo-Moorhead Metropolitan Council of Governments; and Mr. Ellingsberg submitted a request for Cass County participation in a matching grant from the North Dakota Department of Transportation for equipment needed at a transportation emergency. Specifically, the request is for up to $2,000 from Cass County Government toward the purchase of two enclosed sign trailers to be used by any of the participating entities during a major traffic incident, such as a traffic fatality or any other significant incident. Chairman of that committee, Dennis Walaker of the City of Fargo, was also present at this time. Mr. Ellingsberg said this project was not anticipated at budget time but requested the use of emergency or contingency funds for Cass County's share of the project. County Auditor Michael Montplaisir suggested using contingency funds rather than emergency funds for such an expenditure. Mr. Walaker said his committee will set up a procedure on access to the equipment and who will be authorized to use it. MOTION, passed Mr. Ness moved and Mra. Schneider seconded to provide funding, not to exceed $2,000, as Cass County's shara for two enclosed trailers in which to house two emergency sign inventories; the funds to be paid from county contingency funds. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. VALLEY WATER RESCUE, Liability_ insurance coverage Mr. Ellingsberg was present to discuss liability insurance for Valley Water Rescue volunteer divers.

This would raise the county's premium by about 10 per cent. MOTION, passed Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to allow Valley Water Rescue to be included on the county's liability insurance policy. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously.
