Mr. Berndt said SRTS funds provide 100% funding for construction costs, but grant recipients are responsible for planning, design and administrative costs. He recommends the county pay 50% of the local costs not to exceed $10,000. TE funds provide 80% funding with a 20% local match required. He recommends the county pay 50% of the local costs not to exceed $14,000. He said if both grant applications are accepted, only one of them would be used for the project, which would be included in the 2010 highway budget.

On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. 7. RESOLUTION #2008-17, Alcoholic BeveraQe Retail LicensinQ Fees first readinQ Tracy Peters, Assistant State's Attorney, was present. She distributed two draft resolutions on alcoholic beverage retail licensing fees for the board to consider. The first draft includes license categories as listed in the current fee structure. The second draft includes categories as listed in the North Dakota Century Code. There was discussion by the board regarding whether wine falls under the liquor or beer license category. Mrs. Peters said wine is considered to be liquor, according to state law. She said domestic wineries which sell their own wine do not need a liquor license from the county. Mr. Bennett asked if county establishments have been notified about a possible fee increase and if a public hearing should be held before the resolution is adopted. When license renewals were sent out recently, businesses were informed about a possible change in the fee structure. State's Attorney Birch Burdick said according to the county's Home Rule Charter, a first and second reading may be held for resolutions. Mr. Wagner prefers the first resolution draft, which includes the same categories as the current fee structure because it seems simpler to understand. MOTION, passed Mr. Wagner moved and Mrs. Sorum seconded to approve the first reading of Resolution #2008-17, Alcoholic Beverage Retail Licensing Fees, including the same categories as currently used; direct the appropriate notice be published; and schedule the second reading of the resolution for December 15, 2008. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
