She and Charlotte Sandvik are working out some of the details and will be asking county commissioners to help with the program. She is also seeking input from the county department heads. Mrs. Sorum asked for a consensus from the board on a Ward County billing, which was discussed at a recent Social Service Board meeting, for housing a juvenile from Cass County in their detention facility. The bill is for the time period of November 5-12, 2003, and Ward County indicates they notified all counties a few years ago that they will be charging a daily rate because they do not staff their detention center at all times. In previous conversations, an informal agreement was reached to settle the bill at a lesser amount.
