Commission Minutes-March 6, 2006 3040 Mr. Vanyo inquired whether the subdivision ordinance would be in conflict with the townships' zoning authority, and Mr. Zimney said the county's ordinance would basically work independently of a township's zoning authority. He said the new county ordinance would not remove any power from the township; and developers will need to comply with the new subdivision regulations as well as the townships' zoning requirements. The chairman called for any comments from the public in the audience, and no one asked to address the board on the subdivision ordinance. MOTION, passed Mr. Pawluk moved and Mr. Wagner seconded to adopt Ordinance #2006-1, Cass County Subdivision Ordinance, regulating subdivisions in Cass County within the county limits but outside the corporate or extra- territorial limits of any city; and to have the state's attorney publish this ordinance with all other county ordinances into a handbook for Cass County law enforcement officials. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 9.

The letter and resolution indicate the landowner has agreed to commit the matching fund requirement in the amount of $103,750. Mr. Zimney explained the process that would follow if grant funding is approved. Mr. Burdick reviewed the grant documents and said he provided editorial-type comments to Mr. Zimney.

Genevieve Thompson, from the Greenway on the Red Program, said a letter of support for the local funds will be forthcoming from the landowners, Lars and June Moller. MOTION, passed Mr. Pawluk moved and Mr. Vanyo seconded to authorize the chairman to sign the updated funds commitment letter and resolution indicating the property owners, Lars and June Moller, haye committed the local matching fund requirements in the application for Landslide Acquisition Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant funds and no county funds will be used for the Highland Park property acquisition.

JAIL/JUVENILE DETENTION, Inmate daily rates established Glenn Ellingsberg, Jail Administrator, was present to discuss the daily rate charged to other jurisdictions for housing inmates in the Cass County jail, including the federal government. He said Cass County's cost per inmate is $68.81; however, the current daily rate is $60 because all of the costs are not reimbursable. He said the federal government does not allow reimbursement for costs that are not directly beneficial to the inmate. The cost of hospitalization, medication and transportation to court are already billed separately to the respective jurisdiction having authority over an inmate.
