·        The County may contract with an outside consultant for an audit of the Planning & Zoning Department administration and operations and potential restructuring.

·        The Coordinator will arrange a temporary contract for feedlot inspection services with Steele County staff.

·        A follow-up performance review with Angela Knish will be scheduled in or near December, 2006.

Androli moved Ruhland seconded the motion to approve the summary of the Planning and Zoning Administrator, as changed.  Motion carried unanimously. 

 

The next item of discussion is the Human Services Building Project.  Bruce Boyce presented potential advantages and disadvantages for a shared location for Public Health Services and Human Services in the new building.  He also read a letter from I & S Engineers on various building sites and added that the Brattrud site seems to offer advantages the other sites do not.  Marilee Reck, Human Services Director, Roy Srp, Mayor of Waseca and Kris Busse, City Administrator, and Paul Dressler, County Attorney was present for the discussion.  Kris Busse commented that the City would like to see the County locate their building on that site as that will benefit all citizens of the County.  The City is willing to lease the property to the County for $1.00.  The Mayor also commented on all the energy efficient advantages of having a new building.  Peterson moved that if Public Health will not be located in the new building, the County should build on the current site.  Armstrong seconded the motion for purposes of discussion.  The commissioners discussed the matter.  Marilee Reck commented that she would like to see the project proceed more quickly.  Maybe it would help to survey other counties in the sharing of Public Health and Human Services offices.  Marilee feels the benefits of sharing the facility would benefit more than being separate.   Bruce disagreed with the motion and that the Brattrud site is the best spot.  Ruhland would like more detail known about the money for the building.  The following roll was taken:  Armstrong, no; Androli, no; Ruhland, no; Peterson, yes; and Morris, no.  Motion failed.  Bruce suggested that the board write a list of questions for the next meeting to supply to the architect, so planning of the building can proceed.   The chair asked if the board was ready to accept the Brattrud site.  No action was received from the board.   Marilee and Cheri will survey the other counties on their buildings.  

 

            2007 budget review was presented by Bruce Boyce, Coordinator. 

 

            Androli moved and Armstrong seconded the motion to adjourn the meeting at 1:10 p.m.  Motion carried unanimously.
