Dan Zander requested support from the commissioners to get permission to have a bulk storage tank on his property moved along the new Hwy 14. This tank is 17’ from the road right of way. He is unable to insure the tank presently. He is requesting that the commissioners pass a resolution to require the DOT to move the tank. The board questioned him on the involvement of the County when this matter is with the State Department of Transportation. The board will seek the recommendation of the County Attorney on this matter.

Angie Knish, Planning and Zoning Administrator, updated the board on the status of US BioEnergy noting that public comments were received by the MPCA, thereby slowing US BioEnergy request for county permits. Peterson moved and Androli seconded the motion to approve the sixty day rule and extend the time limit on the CUP to February 5, 2007 . Motion carried unanimously.

The December 14^th Planning Commission meeting will be hearing from URS in regards to the comprehensive land study. Charlie Born again requested an interim ordinance to build residential on agricultural land. The attorney may be present later in the meeting and can address this request.

Paul Dressler, County Attorney, was present at this time. Rick Morris asked for advice on the Dan Zander matter. Paul will do some research and report back on December 7^th. The attorney was also asked about the Charlie Born matter requesting an interim resolution. December 14^th will include a discussion of this matter, as it was noted this item is not on the agenda for discussion today.

Marilee Reck, Human Services Director, was present at the meeting. She presented an annual plan for FSET for 2007. Androli moved and Armstrong seconded the motion to approve Food Support Employment and Training Plan as presented. Motion carried unanimously.

Armstrong moved and Ruhland seconded the motion to approve a contract amendment for an additional $24,000 for MFIP Employment and Training Services for MN Valley Action Council. Motion carried unanimously.

The property in Matawan was discussed with Paul Dressler. More research will be done on this property with the County Recorder. A landowner request has come forward wanting to purchase the county owned land for a septic system.

The board then continued with discussion of the Road and Bridge budget.

Bruce continued his business with the presentation of a request for an extension of a tax abatement from Twin Oaks for a two year extension. He will invite the owners to present their intent on expansion to the board before a public hearing is set.

Classification and Compensation study update was given by Boyce. He gave a job description process from the RFP. Communication with Springsted will increase as the project progresses.

Planning and Zoning departmental audit and review was discussed. The firm hired to perform the audit will be doing a couple more interviews before giving a report.

The 2006 review and goal setting for department heads were discussed. The process will proceed in December.
