BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
February 2, 1979 - DAILY MINUTES
Chairman Shepard opened the meeting at 10:00 a.m. with all Commissioners present.
First item on the agenda was discussion on a resolution from Louis Dvorak, County
Counsel, on the allocation of responsibilities between County Counsel and the District
Attorney. Louis Selken, District Attorney, said that he felt there was really no need
for a resolution because it is all set down in the statutes who does what. He explained
that, especially on zoning violations, the D. A.'s Office leans toward a civil remedy
first, the if we have to use criminal law. Louis Dvorak said he would feel more comfortable
if this resolution was signed. Commissioner Paulson made a motion to pass the resolution
for allocation of responsibilities between County Counsel and the District Attorney.
Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Young said he disagreed with this resolution
as it would just cause much more paperwork. Commissioner Paulson voted aye, Chairman
Shepard voted aye, and Commissioner Young voted no.
Next was a turn-around document for Ed Perkins of the District Attorney's Office.
Louis Selken explained that the former Commissioner, Don Grubb, had told him that the
turn-around had been signed and Ed had gotten the merit increase. He found out that
Ed had not gotten the increase and was asking the Commissioner now to make this
retroactive to January 1, 1979, since it had already been promised him. Commissioner
Paulson made a motion for acceptance of the merit increase for Ed Perkins retroactive
to January 1, 1979. Chairman Shepard seconded it. Commissioner Paulson voted aye,
Chairman Shepard voted aye, and Commissioner Young voted aye.
District Attorney Selken also requested the permanent assignment of the Gold Plymouth
to his office for Bill Merrill. He explained that Bill very often had to go out
immediately to serve papers or some other thing and did not have a car at his disposal
many times. Commissioner Young made a motion to assign the District Attorney's Office
a car. Commissioner Paulson seconded it. Commissioner Young voted aye, Commissioner
Paulson voted aye, and Chairman Shepard voted aye.
Next on the agenda was Sheriff Sholes with discussion on a Substation for Lapine.
The Sheriff explained that he would like to put this substation into operation
by March 1. He explained that there was a contingency fund this could be taken from
or it could also come from the Transient Room Tax Fund. The discussion went on and
the Commissioners agreed that there was a need for this substation but they felt it
was not appropriate to take this money out of these funds without consulting the Budget
Committee. Commissioner Paulson and Commissioner Young both agreed that this should
come up at buget time and come before the Budget Committee. Commissioner Shepard asked
the Sheriff to go back and look over his funds and see if there wasn't some way he could
come up with this figure and we would look into it too, as he felt this was an important
thing for LaPine. He asked that the Sheriff come back at 10:00 a.m. next Thursday to
disucss this matter again.
There being no further business this day, meeting was recessed at 12:05 p.m.
