April 13, 2017

8:30 Pledge of Allegiance

Commissioner Grewell moved approval of Justice Court End of Period Disbursement report for March 2017; Commissioner Bullock seconded; motion carried.

8:45 Carl Devries met with Commissioners regarding cattle guard. He would like to replace the existing cattle guard until he has a chance to replace fencing then it can be removed.

9:00 Architect Susan Hovde, Josh McQuillan, County Attorney Alex Nixon Civil Deputy Jacque Papez, and Deputy County Attorney Shannon Foley met with Commissioners to discuss the jail remodel project. The jail cells that need to be removed are structural and have lead paint which will require additional supports to be put in place to they can be removed and the lead paint abated. To avoid the expense and complication, an alternative would be to do a straight forward addition. Look at focusing on sally port and leave dispatch where is and move deputies to dui room.

Attorneys discussed the possibility of the Commissioners creating a special road improvement district for East Rosebud Road. The Attorneys believe the creation of the district should be left to the landowners as statues are not clear on commissioner initiated special improvement districts.
