LIEN
Commissioner Barth, County Aid Lien Liaison, briefed the Commission on a request to compromise DPNO 68803, in the amount of $96.00 for Public Defender services, in full with no payment. The applicant does not feel she should be responsible for the amount and claimed on her application that she only had phone contact with the Public Defender and decided to pay her ticket rather than contest it after that conversation. The Public Defender did verify the information and noted that there was an error in the billing, reducing the lien amount to $56.00. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Kelly to reduce the lien to $56.00. Commissioner Twedt did not support the motion and noted that it did not appear, based on information from the applicant, that application for a Public Defender was made. Commissioner Kelly withdrew his second. A second was made by Commissioner Hajek. Sue Roust, County Auditor, stated that the billing error would be corrected administratively and that anything less than the actual balance of $56.00 would require commission action. Commissioner Hajek noted that the lienee was charged with a traffic violation, asked for an attorney, received legal advice, and now is asking to not pay the bill. Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, stated that judges do not appoint a Public Defender unless application is made. Commissioner Twedt noted the applicant's age and fact that there had been a billing error. SUBSTITUTE MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Twedt to compromise the lien with no payment. 2 ayes. Barth, Hajek, and Pekas - nay. Motion fails.
BRIEFING
Ron Wieman, Fair Board Chairman, thanked the Commission, Fair Board Members, Fairgrounds staff, and the community for their continued support. He introduced interim CXO, Tryg Fredrickson. Dr. Fredrickson reported on changes implemented since taking office which include expanding the role of the contract accountant, investigative accounts payable, inventory control, cash management procedures, management oversight, and redeveloping roles and responsibilities. He explained that the forensic audit of the Sioux Empire Fair Association accelerated findings that would have likely been revealed during the annual year-end financial audit and that the fair event itself is financially successful with a solid accounting process. Commissioners asked that previously requested information on costs and revenues from ongoing activities on a month-to-month basis at the Fairgrounds be provided prior to contract negotiation discussion. They discussed long range planning, master plan, and improvements to the site that were recommended in previous years. Mr. Wieman asked that contract re-negotiations begin soon in order for the Association to plan for future events. Dave Renli, Executive Director, Sioux Empire Safety Village, stated that his organization rents space on the fairgrounds for the Safety Village. He has proposed a long term land use lease and asked about the progress of working with the fairgrounds heirs in modifying some of the terms of the land use agreement in order to offer long term opportunities to users. Mr. Wieman reported that the Board has been meeting with Dean Axtell, heir, which has been positive. Commissioners supported a community task force to discuss questions on how to move forward, but noted that there would not be enough time to accomplish any goals before the contract renewal date.

AGREEMENT
Hugh Grogan, Human Services Director, presented the annual agreement for caseworker services with Lincoln County. He reported that this year's contract rate decreased from $58,323 to $55,920. The decrease is due to the caseworker's non-participation in the group insurance plan. Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, noted that it was not customary to base a contract price on one individual. Commissioner Twedt noted that it was the County's intent to continue this partnership. Commissioner Kelly stated it was unfair to bring in the agreement the day before contract renewal. MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Twedt to authorize the Chairman to sign the agreement. 1 aye, Barth, Hajek, Pekas, and Twedt - nay. Motion fails. Mr. Grogan stressed the importance of basing the contract on the actual cost. Sue Roust, County Auditor, reported that a weighted average, with both insured/uninsured staff costs, is used when calculating jail bed rates. MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Barth to add language provided by Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, adding a pro rata value and bringing the contract back for approval. SUBSTITUTE MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Twedt to defer consideration of the agreement for 2 weeks. 3 ayes, Hajek and Pekas - nay.
BID
Lynn DeYoung, Emergency Management Director, reported that bids were opened on March 18th for various sized towable generators as part of a regional purchase under the Homeland Security Grant Program. The following bids were received (bidder/unit 25 kW/52 kW/72 kW/95 kW/112 kW/190 kW/255 kW): Interstate Powersystems/$15,061/$24,423/$29,452/$34,938/$43,927/$62,679/$81,051; Storage Battery Systems, Inc./$27,712/ $44,274/ $54,171/ $78,828/$85,986/ $118,802/ $163,490; Stan Houston Equipment Co., Inc./ $13,996.75/ $25,440/$25,440/$36,149/$44,599/$64,577/$90,131; and Butler Machinery Company/ $27,017/ $37,791/$38,826/$41,805/$48,107/$73,515/$73,515. He recommended accepting the low bid for each category (unit kW) with the exception of the 25 kW unit. The low bidder in this case, Stan Houston Equipment Co., Inc. bid a generator with a power rating of 19.5 kW. Ratings at 90% or higher were considered a functional equivalent. MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Kelly to accept the following bids for towable generators: to Interstate Powersystems, 25 kW -$15,061, 52 kW - $24,423, 95 kW - $34,938, 112 kW - $43,927, & 190 kW - $62,679; to Stan Houston Equipment Co., Inc., 72 kW - $25,440; and to Butler Machinery Company, 255 kW $73,515, and to reject the bid by Stan Houston Equipment Co., Inc. in the amount of $13,996.75 in the 25 kW category due to an insufficient power rating. 4 ayes. Commissioner Hajek was not present during the vote. At this time, two generators will be purchased with grant funds, one each for Minnehaha and Lake counties. Additional purchases may be made by counties in Region VIII as funds allow.
SUPPLEMENT
At the request of Deputy Sheriff Lieutenant Vicki Hicks, MOTION by Barth, seconded by Twedt to supplement $123,969.03 from the General Fund to the Sheriff's budget (ASN 16678) representing unspent 2006-2008 State Criminal Alien Assistance Program funds. 5 ayes.
NEW BUSINESS
At the request of Commissioner Twedt, Eli Whitney, Director of Equalization, addressed a request for a full assessment of all properties in Hartford from the Hartford City Finance Officer. Mr. Whitney reported that his office responded to a similar request from the city of Hartford, to look at basement finish in 2007, and that those assessments have been in place for 2 years. He announced that his staff plans to review all properties in the cities of Hartford and Dell Rapids over the summer.
Commissioner Pekas commented on a recent article in the Argus Leader on Minnehaha County's position on the sale of tax certificates. He believed that it was the County's responsibility to take in the taxes, that other entities also rely on, and supported selling the certificates to bring that money in. He explained the tax certificate process. Commissioner Twedt noted that the County budget is based on 5% uncollectible property taxes, while the County typically has less than a 2% delinquency rate. Sue Roust, County Auditor, added that interest accrues monthly on delinquent properties and that the state dictates how the County can collect taxes. She also reported that the decision on whether to sell tax certificates is up to county commissions and that Minnehaha County has chosen by policy not to sell those certificates.
MOTION by Hajek, seconded by Barth to adjourn until 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 7, 2009. 5 ayes.
