<br />would like to discuss with the Commission the issue. of the salary for the new Court Reporter, and
<br />the matter will be placed on the agenda for next Tuesday. Chairman Stanton suggested that Mr.

<br />
<br />A letter was received from the State Highway Department commending Cass County for their
<br />review of transportation needs and for proposing a program for construction and maintenance, of
<br />County farm to market roads.
<br />
<br />Scott Krueger < Administrative Assistant, stated that preliminary approval of the proposed
<br />County road program has been received from the State Highway Department and from the Federal
<br />Highway Works Administration. He drafted a resolution which would 'authorize and 'instruct the
<br />County Auditor to place the question on the Primary Election Ballot for establishing a special road
<br />mill levy according to the proposedCass County 20 year road repair and construction program as
<br />prepared and presented at previous meetings by Mr. Krueger and County Road Superintendent
<br />Steve Grindberg.
<br />
<br />Mr. Larson suggested increasing the amount of money to be allocated to the cities for the
<br />creation of a City Pothole and Street Repair Fund as noted in Item No.1 of the resolution. It was
<br />moved by Mr. Larson and seconded by Mr. Sondrall to adopt a resolution requesting a 10 mill' levy
<br />annually for a Cass County Road Repair and Construction Program but stating that 150% instead of
<br />100% of the money allocated to Cass County from the State Highway Department Incentive Fund be
<br />allocated to cities on a matching basis, and that the mill levy l?e for a period of 10 years instead
<br />of 20 years. At the call for the question, the motion failed on roll call vote with: Mr. Larson and
<br />Mr. Sondrall voting "Aye"; Mr. Wieland,' Mr. Eckert and Mrs. Stanton opposing.
<br />
<br />Mr. Eckert moved to adopt the resolution as drafted leaving Item No. 1 at 100%. of the State
<br />Highway Department Incentive Fund to be allocated to cities on a matching basis and that the mill
<br />levy be for a period of 20 years. Mr. Wieland seconded the motion for discussion, and questioned
<br />whether a figure of $300,000.00 could be used instead of a percentage for the City Pothole and
<br />Street Repair Fund. Discussion was held on using a minimum and a maximum dollar amount.
<br />
<br />Robert Hoy, States Attorney, informed the Commission that if they were to go beyond 1 OO%. of
<br />the State Highway Department Incentive Fund, the proposed road mill levy cannot be used to'
<br />subsidize the additional amount to be allocated to the cities. This would have to, come from other'
<br />County monies.
<br />
<br />Mr. Eckert amended his motion to adopt the resolution as follows; The amended 'motion was
<br />seconded biMr. Wieland, and it carried on roll call vote with all members voting "Aye".
