      Present are Supervisors Chairperson David Gottsche, Mardi Allen, Paul Johnson, Pam Jordan and Wayne Northey.

 

      Owner’s Representative present with weekly new courthouse construction report.  The terrazzo should be finished today and will need to be waxed at least two times.  The Board will call the cleaning service to do this in the next week.  Mike Cline, McHan Construction, and Jack Topp, RDG, present for the discussion of putting a basement in the Phase 2 construction of the new courthouse.  Mike Ehret, Emergency Management Services, also present.  An estimate has been received for this from the architect in the amount of $756,000 with approximately $684,000 of that for the construction of the basement under Phase 2.  This would include a safe room and would be structured to be a disaster shelter to withstand 250 MPH winds and 150 projectiles.  It was discussed the possibility of applying for Federal grant funds through Homeland Security and the timeframe if this proposal was accepted for the architect and contractor.  The cost for the design changes for the architect would be approximately $66,000.  The Board discussed the proposal at length stating several pro and con reasons to do the project.  Some felt that it should be done, as it would be a lower cost at present rather than in the future.  Budget information on the current project was presented for additional discussion.  Moved by Johnson, seconded by Jordan to cease further efforts to put a full basement under Phase Two of the new courthouse and to proceed with the courthouse construction plans as presented to the taxpayers of Dickinson County at the bond issue referendum. 

      Roll call vote:  Northey-nay

                        Jordan-aye

                        Gottsche-nay

                        Johnson-aye

                        Allen-aye

      Motion carried.

 

IT Director present to request the approval of the purchase of two Cisco 3750 Series Switches as per quote dated May 23, 2005, from R&D Industries in the amount of $49,630.17 including labor to configure the switches and to approve the proposal of June 9, 2005 from R&D Industries in the amount of $9,800.00 for the engineering, and labor to relocate existing servers, printers, scanners and network equipment to appropriate locations for the new courthouse.  All voted aye.

 

Moved by Jordan, seconded by Johnson to approve the revised fee agreement with David Dahlquist, RDG, for the Design Phase Fee for artwork integration in the amount of $15,500 with said work on the project to begin December 22, 2005 and to authorize the Chairperson to sign said agreement.  All voted aye.

 

County Engineer present.  Moved by Allen, seconded by Johnson to approve the recommendation for a utility permit for ILEC to place a single-phase power line on 230th Avenue, approximately 910 feet north of the intersection with 220th Street, this line will be bored at a depth of 48 inches and is located between Milford Township Sections 5 and 6.  All present voted aye.

 

Also reviewed the 270th place vacation for Sandbar Beach Resort that will be before a public hearing next week.

 

Cynthia Beauman, NW Aging Association, present with the agency’s annual report and to request funding in the same amount as last year, $11,060, which is $2.60 per capita for those over age 60, which is 4254.  Request will be considered during the budget process.

 

Conservation Board representatives present with a proposed budget for the Nature Center Development.  A five-year budget of proposed expenditures and revenues was given to those present.  The commitment of approval of the budget will allow the Foundation to apply for grants that will include the local support including a CAT grant application.  For the next fiscal year it is estimated that $30,000 is needed in the next fiscal year to install restrooms at the facility.  This would allow for more activities to take place there and increase the fund raising efforts.  No decision was made at this time but will be considered during the budget process.

 

Moved by Northey, seconded by Jordan to approve and adopt the following resolution:  RESOLUTION DECLARING THE NEED FOR A HOUSING AUTHORITY IN DICKINSON COUNTY, IOWA
