Commission Minutes--June 16, 1997 1643 Emergency Management, was very helpful in this process. The next set of documents will be ready for Chairman Wieland's signature, possibly before the next regularly scheduled meeting, and the Board talked about calling special meetings as needed. Mr. Rustad asked about having legal counsel review the documentation prior to Commission authorization to save time, and Mr. Wieland suggested that he work through Mr. Koenig to get State's Attorney approval since Mr. Goff had left the meeting by this time. MOTION, passed In the interest of saving time and instead of calling a special board meeting, Mrs. Quick moved and Mr. Meyer seconded to authorize Chairman Alon Wieland to sign documentation as completed by Lake Agassiz Regional Council, pending State's Attorney approval. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. Mr. Rustad also asked the Commission to appoint a committee to work with his staff on policy issues in the accelerated application process through FEMA, and Commissioners Koenig and Meyer agreed to serve on a committee. The board discussed including other county residents. Mrs. Schneider suggested asking Frank Klein, Director of Equalization, to serve on this committee; and commissioners were in agreement. 15.

Several commissioners attended the community involvement meeting held last week at Enderlin, where the primary topic of discussion was the Maple River Dam Project. Mrs. Quick has asked County Engineer, Keith Berndt, to attend the community meeting at Harwood tomorrow morning. Mr. Koenig reported on the East Central Commissioners Association meeting held in Jamestown last week. Bonnie Johnson, County Coordinator, said a number of county employees have expressed interest in purchasing United States Government savings bonds through payroll deduction, and 15 or more employees would have to request the payroll deduction. Mrs. Johnson asked about setting up a seminar with a representative of the United States Treasury Department that employees could voluntarily attend if the Commission would authorize solicitation of county employees, according to county personnel policy. It was a consensus of the commissioners that Mrs. Johnson should proceed. Mrs. Johnson reported that she acquired the services of a youth through the Summer Jobs Program to work with buildings and grounds staff, and the position is paid by North Dakota Job Service.
