18. <br /> <br />19. <br /> <br />Commission Minutes--June 17, 1996 1488 <br /> <br />resolution from Fargo City Commission requesting Cass County to continue to levy three <br />mills for the Growth Initiative Fund and one mill for Fargo-Cass County Economic <br />Development Corporation operations for 1997; <br /> <br />letter from F. W. Pearson, Hunter, regarding leafy spurge control (referred to County <br />Engineer, Keith Berndt). <br /> <br />SENIOR CITIZENS, Rural bUS transportation <br />Everette Mattson, Casselton, asked to speak at this time concerning rural bus transportation for <br />senior citizens. A large delegation of Cass County residents were in attendance and discussion <br />was held on stipulations for use of the bus. County Auditor, Michael Montplaisir, said the State <br />Legislature passed a law whereby state and county funds for senior citizens would be used for <br />nutrition and educational programs, and specifically not for entertainment purposes. Therefore, <br />the county requested that the senior citizens use their bus, which was purchased with federal, <br />state and county dollars, within Cass and Clay Counties; and a bus could be chartered for their <br />recreational trips. Mr. Wieland said it is usually not the use of something, but the abuse of <br />something, that creates a problem, and Commissioners have to be good stewards of public funds. <br />Mrs. Toussaint said the Commission will revisit the bus transportation policy. <br /> <br />Commissioners thanked the group for attending the Commission meeting today and for the <br />refreshments which were provided. <br /> <br />ADJOURNMENT MOTION, passed <br /> On motion by Mrs. Schneider and seconded by Mr. Wieland, the <br /> meeting was adjourned about 4:46 PM. <br /> <br />ATTEST: <br /> <br />APPROVED: <br /> <br />Michael Mont~lai'sir J Audi~0r <br />Cass County, North Dakota <br /> <br />~'~aron Toussaint, Chairman <br />Cass County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br /> <br />
