Commission Minutes—June 3, 2024 5868 <br />Shane Smith whose mother owns the land west of the Naseth's property was present and said the <br />proposed plan does not follow the county's guidelines and the county should not make exceptions. <br />He requested the county also take into account the access and parking to the cemetery near the <br />property. <br />Sharon Arnold, adjacent property owner, was present and said the County should purchase the <br />Naseth property and does not feel the Holman property should be separated. She said she favors <br />option B. <br />Kathy Holman, adjacent property owner, was present and said the farm on the property has been in <br />the family since the 1800s. She said the driveway was established in 1940 and she would like a <br />statement in writing that the Holman driveway would not be compromised in the future. She said the <br />Holman's are not looking to sell the farm, however, do not want to compromise future opportunities. <br />Mr. Peterson said the driveway will not be changed unless the Holman's, as the property owners, <br />decide to sell or change the use of the property. <br />Director of Eagle Ridge, "the Developer', Jonathan Youness was present and said Eagle Ridge is in <br />favor of option C as it is the best solution and impacts the least amount of people. Mr. Youness said <br />this is step one in the process, the City of Horace has not weighed in because the development <br />plans have not been submitted as a signature for the access permit is required from the County first. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Grindberg moved and Mr. Kapitan seconded to authorize the County <br />Engineer to sign the Cass Highway 14 access permit for the Oak Valley Plat at <br />the proposed option C location. On roll call vote, the motion carried with Mr. <br />Kapitan, Mr. Grindberg, Mr. Peterson, and Mrs. Scherling voting "yes" and Mr. <br />Breitling voting "no". <br />10. FARGO CASS PUBLIC HEALTH, Updated agreement approved <br />Mr. Wilson said Fargo Cass Public Health (FCPH) has proposed updating its service agreement to <br />better reflect services FCPH provides and after jail nursing services are transitioned from FCPH <br />employment to County employment. He said in 2016, West Fargo ended its financial support of <br />FCPH in lieu of North Dakota Century Code interpretation and the City of Fargo and Cass County <br />absorbed the costs. Mr. Wilson said FCPH indicated FCPH will no longer fund the West Fargo <br />services and the costs will be billed to the County. He said the County is free to enter into a separate <br />agreement with West Fargo to recoup all or a portion of the expenses. <br />Director of Public Health at FCPH, Desi Fleming, was present and said the West Fargo piece is not <br />written into the agreement. She said the main update to the agreement is the removal of the jail <br />nursing staff from FCPH and accurately reflecting services provided by FCPH. <br />MOTION, passed <br />Mr. Grindberg moved and Mr. Breitling seconded to authorize the chair to sign <br />the Agreement for Provision of Health Services for Cass County by Fargo Cass <br />Public Health. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br />11. JAIL, Budget adjustment for jail nursing services approved <br />Cass County has been working with the City of Fargo to transition jail nursing staff from the City of <br />Fargo through FCPH to Cass County. Mr. Wilson said the transition is scheduled to formally occur <br />on July 2, 2024. He said the request today is to authorize a budget adjustment in the amount of <br />69,774 to the Sheriffs Office budget to accommodate for the transition. <br />Ms. Fleming said FCPH and County staff are working together to make the transition smooth and <br />ensure jail nurse staff have equal benefits. Mrs. Scherling asked if the benefits are similar. Mr. <br />Peterson said Cass County's benefits are better.
