A draft motor pool policy was also included in the agenda packet for today's meeting. MOTION, passed Mr. Ness moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to reassign the vehicles currently used by the State's Attorney's Office to the motor pool; to allow the motor pool to "purchase" one Crown Victoria from the vehicles being sold from the Sheriff's fleet; and to allow the motor pool to auction the 10 vehicles noted at a public auction. Discussion: Concerning sale of the 10 vehicles, the county must sell them at public auction, and there are two options which include selling vehicles through Tri-State Auction Company or selling them at the next City of Fargo impound auction scheduled for July 13, 1996. State's Attorney John Goff asked if Commissioners received his letter of May 1, 1996, concerning State's Attorney investigator vehicles, and Commissioners said they received the letter. On roll call vote, the motion carried with four members voting "Aye"; and Mrs. Schneider opposing. VOUCHERS, Approved MOTION, passed Mrs. Schneider moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to approve Vouchers No. 87,990 through No 88,972, with the exception of No. 88,883. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. GARRISON DIVERSION/CLEAN WATER ACTION; HISTORIC REGISTRYISHEA SITE; VETERAN'S SERVICE REPORT; ORDINANCE RELATING TO DOGS AND CATS REFERRED TO SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT; WEED CONTROL BOARD UPDATE, Committee reports Mr. Wieland asked if Mrs. Schneider has received a response yet to her letter dated April 23, 1996, requesting information from Clean Water Action concerning their organization and a public mailing encouraging citizens to ask their county commissioners to oppose Garrison Diversion. About 60 letters have been received in the Commission Office to date from county residents requesting that Cass County withdraw from the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District, to stop paying taxes to the Garrison Diversion project, and to demand a refund of the taxes already paid. Chairman Toussaint prepared a response explaining to these citizens that the Garrison Diversion Conservancy District was established by the North Dakota Legislature and the residents' concerns must be addressed by their local legislators. Cass County is included in the boundaries of the District as defined by State law. Mrs. Schneider asked to place this item on the next Commission agenda for further discussion because she believes Clean Water Action has given some mis-information to the people on their mailing list. Roger Shea provided some booklets to Mr. Wieland regarding nomination of the Shea Site near Embden to the National Register of Historic Places. Mr. Wieland will share this information with other Commissioners after he has reviewed it. The booklets will then be returned to Mr. Shea. The County Commission received notification of the nomination and has an opportunity to comment about the registration on or before the June 6, 1996, meeting in Bismarck of the State Historical Society's Review Board.
