Motion carried with the four members present voting "Aye <br />The Road Superintendent requested permission to approve utility permits on the standard agreement <br />forms without bringing them to the Commission meetings each time. Mrs. Stanton, who was present at this <br />time, felt that these permits must be brought before the Commission since the forms require the signature <br />of the Chairman. Mr. Wieland moved and Mr. Sondrall seconded that in relation to the underground utility <br />permits, the County Road Superintendent and Commissioner Eckert review them and if accepted or rejected, <br />to bring them to the next regular meeting. Motion carried unanimously. <br />Architect Richard Moorhead presented the final schematic design for a south addition to the <br />Courthouse. After discussion, Mrs. Stanton moved and Mr. Eckert seconded to approve the preliminary <br />design for the south wing of the Courthouse. On roll call vote, the motion carried unanimously. <br />Mr. Moorhead estimated the middle of August, 1985 as the target date for awarding the contracts, but the <br />Commission hoped that the contracts could be awarded closer to the first of August. The States Attorney <br />along with Commissioners Wieland and Larson will begin investigating the bidding process to be followed <br />for the future sale of the Cass County Annex building at 701 Main Avenue, Fargo. <br />Scott Krueger reported that residents who live directly north of the Courthouse are objecting to <br />the County's south addition because they feel that the County has not met proper building codes on the <br />north addition due to the noise level of the air conditioning units located on top of the garage. The <br />Commission has taken steps to reduce the noise, but it is still apparently somewhat above ordinance <br />levels. Mr. Wieland suggested that Mr. Krueger research a type of sound absorption material for the <br />brick wall and research the availability of some type of cones or mufflers for the units plus having <br />noise level tests taken while one unit is operating, then two and then with the third one operating; and <br />to also obtain an estimate for a portable air conditioner for one of the jury rooms on 3rd floor which <br />has no ventilation, and to report back to the Commission at the earliest possible time. <br />6238 <br />Hist.
