<br />JANUARY 24, 1984
<br />
<br />Chairman Stanton called the meeting to order and upon roll call, all members were present.
<br />
<br />Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Wieland seconded to approve the minutes of the previous meeting

<br />
<br />Scott Krueger, Administrative Assistant, presented information to the Commission on maintenance
<br />contracts which the County has on buildings and equipment. The maintenance contract with Peterson
<br />Mechanical Company at the Juvenile Justice Center building expired December 17, 1983. The Board
<br />requested Mr. Krueger to meet with Alton Johnson, Buildings and Grounds Superintendent, concerning
<br />maintenance cont~acts; and to report back'to the Commission next week.
<br />
<br />Regarding the County's contract for pest control, Mr. Krueger stated that Plunkett's Pest Control
<br />has submitted a proposal for $400.00 annually to control crawling insects and rodents at the Courthouse,
<br />the Jail and the Juvenile Justice Center. The County presently has a contract with Lystad Chemical
<br />Company for $740.00 annually.
<br />
<br />Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to accept the proposal of Plunkett's Pest Control
<br />Services in the amount of $400.00 annually. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
<br />
<br />Mr. Sondrall stated that the operator of the Courthouse lunch counter has been informed that
<br />there is a grease problem with the range hood in the kitchen area, and she received a quote of $390.00
<br />to steam clean the kitchen hood system and ducts. Mr. Sondrall suggested referring the matter to
<br />Mr. Krueger and Alton Johnson to obtain quotes from other contractors in this line of work.
<br />
<br />A hearing was held on the Application for Abatement and Settlement of Taxes submitted by Sharon
<br />Bohlman for property in Tower City. She requested that the taxes be abated for 1980, 1981 and 1982.
<br />Sharon Bohlman was present for this hearing. Clarence Miller, County Director of Tax Equalization,
<br />stated that the County Commission cannot consider abating the taxes for the year 1980 because of
<br />the statute of limitations. He further stated that a mobile home was located on this property as of
<br />February 1, 1981, and was taxed :as real estate because the owner did not purchase a mobile home
<br />tax decal. Mr. Miller did recommend that the request for abatement of taxes be approved for the
<br />year 1982 because the mobile home had been removed from the property prior to February 1, 1982.
<br />
<br />Mr. Larson moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to accept the recommendation of Clarence Miller to
<br />deny the Application for Abatement and Settlement of Taxes for Sharon Bohlman for the year 1981
<br />but to approve the abatement of taxes for the year 1982. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously.
<br />
<br />A hearing was held on the Application for Abatement and Settlement of Taxes submitted by
<br />Betty M. Webb for property in the City of Fargo. Rodney and Betty Webb were present for the hearing,
<br />and they stated that they feel the true value of their home has been established by the sales in the
<br />past 5 years on this same home. They do not bel ieve that square footage and comparable sales sets
<br />the value when there have been actual sales on the property. The abatement ,was denied by the Fargo
<br />City Commission on December 5, 1983. Clarence Miller, County Director of Tax Equalization, recommended
<br />that the abatement be denied for the reason that it appears that the Sales Comparison Approach would
<br />support the valuation placed on this property, and the valuation placed on it by the City of Fargo
<br />would maintain equity in assessments between comparable property in the City of Fargo.
