COUNTY BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Regular Meeting May 20, 1997
Meeting called to order at 7:00 p.m. by Chair Boche. Invocation
was given by Pastor Kent Boyum, Christ Center Assembly of God
Church, Hudson. Pledge of Allegiance was recited.
Roll call: 29 present, 2 absent - Chuck Mehls (excused) and Nancy
Bieraugel arrived at 7:20 p.m.
Motion by Supr. Giese, 2nd by Supr. Mortensen to approve the April
15, 1997 minutes. Carried. Motion by Supr. Bradley, 2nd by Supr.
O'Connell to adopt the agenda. Carried. Next meeting scheduled
for June 17 at 7:00 p.m.
Motion by Supr. Grant, 2nd by Supr. King to adopt the Proclamation
May is Older Citizens Month. Carried.
Oral Reports: Given by Register in Probate Erica Nelson and County
Clerk Sue Nelson.
Administrative Coordinator: John Krizek indicated bids on the Ag.
Center Building are due on June 13th and will be presented at the
June 17 County Board session. The proposed building is 841'x 1801.
The section for Economic Development is removed. The meeting room
has 1200 square feet. A full basement is not planned due to cost
restraints and it is difficult to have fire exits when built below
grade. It would cost $140,000 more for a full basement. The
County's general fund will be used to pay for the Ag. building.
Other considerations for general fund usage are possible public
land purchase and replacement of computer cell controls in the
jail. Estimated costs are $38,000 to hire an engineer and $225,000
for replacement of the controls.
In reply to Supr. Mortensen's question, Krizek said there are
provisions for an Emergency Operating Center in the new building.
Krizek also commented County Governments could use the $230 million
of the State's surplus monies. Shared revenues have not increased
in several years.
Chair Boche welcomed the media, guests and visitors.
