The County Auditor's Office is working on the year 2000 budget preparations, and special meetings will be held in the next few weeks beginning at 9:00 AM on August 9, 10, and 11, 1999, in the Commission Room. Bonnie Johnson, County Coordinator, gave an update on buildings and grounds activities. She has been talking to masons about work on the Courthouse front plaza and the possibility of moving the veterans monument from the center of the plaza to the side because it does pose a danger when it is wet from rain or snow. Commissioners were in agreement to proceed with moving the memorial plaque on the front plaza. Also, Mrs. Johnson informed the Commissioners that she met with the State Department of Corrections last week about obtaining a waiver on the requirement to have outdoor recreation for the new jail, as long as there is louvered outdoor air coming into the recreation area, which there will be. Mr. Wieland asked how many Commissioners will be able to attend Pioneer Days at Bonanzaville, U.S.A. and to ride in the parade on Sunday, August 15th. Mrs. Quick, Mr. Meyer and Mr. Wieland plan to attend that event. Mrs. Quick thanked the County Engineer, Keith Berndt, for his part in arranging a ribbon-cutting ceremony marking completion of the new 45th Street Bridge on the Rose Coulee. Mr. Berndt replied that this was a good example of how different jurisdictions can work together. This bridge was constructed with 80% Federal funds, and the 20% local cost was shared by the Cass County special 10-mill road and bridge levy and the Southeast Cass Water Resource District. It was noted that Robert Holmbeck will begin working for Cass County as Information Services Director on August 16, 1999. Mrs. Quick met with Mike Steiner, who is working for Cass County on a consulting basis, concerning the completion of items in the transition plan.
