Commission Minutes--July 19, 1999 2004 MOTION, passed Mr. Meyer moved and Mr. Koenig seconded to reimburse Mr. and Mrs. Garland Hagemeister in the amount of $21,000 for their "as is" bid on the Scherling property. On roll call vote, motion carried unanimously. The Board next discussed the Hagemeister's request for reimbursement of expenses, and their opinions varied on the level of reimbursement to be approved, if any. Mr. Koenig was the only one who favored paying all of the expenses, however, Mr. Meyer suggested paying a portion but asked where the county would get the money to pay for it. Mr. Rustad said expenses could possibly be paid from the income generated in the buy-out program, if that would be agreeable with FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency). If not, any amount of reimbursement approved by the Commission would have to be paid from the county budget. Mrs. Quick asked for comments from the State's Attorney, and Mr. Burdick said he did not have anything to add, other than what was said at previous meetings, that he does not believe all avenues were exhausted as far as moving the home. However, he said it was a policy decision on the part of the County Commission to return the original bid amount of $21,000 to the Hagemeister's. Although he is not aware of any obligation to pay their expenses, he said that would also be a policy decision of this Board. MOTION, withdrawn Mr. Meyer moved and Mr. Koenig seconded to reimburse Mr. and Mrs. Garland Hagemeister from program income funds in the amount of $1,228 to cover expenses incurred for insurance, attorney, house mover and labor during the time they owned the Scherling property. Mr. Rustad suggested specifying a dollar amount rather than itemized expenses because he is not sure which ones, if any, will be eligible for reimbursement according to FEMA guidelines. Mrs. Schneider then suggested waiting with a decision on the reimbursement until a response is received from FEMA. All Commissioners were in agreement, after which time, Mr. Meyer withdrew his motion and Mr. Koenig withdrew his second. This item will be placed on the next Commission agenda for the meeting to be held August 2,1999. 14. JAIL SCHEMATICS, Presentation by consultants Representatives of Foss/Kimme & Associates were present to detail the schematic design work currently underway by the county's design review team. A power point presentation was given by Dennis Kimme and David Bostwick, both of Kimme & Associates, with a hand-out provided to each Commissioner. Bill Cowman and Rick Hoganson were present from Foss Associates. Mr. Cowman said the goal of the consultants is to let bids by mid- to late-February next year, and they should be able to meet that goal, as well as meeting the budget for this project. The design is currently about 2,000 square feet more than the project's pre-design document, and they will be meeting this week to scale that back to the original square footage, if that is possible without compromising the function of the facility. Commissioners received a memorandum from Bonnie Johnson, County Coordinator IJail Project Coordinator, dated June 24, 1999, outlining staff meetings with the consultants on the various phases of the project and the approval process as the respective documents are completed.
