RESOLUTION MC09-38
WHEREAS, a County Aid Lien in the amount of $380.00 purports to exist in favor of Minnehaha County and against DPNO 36016 as Lienee, and
WHEREAS, said lienee has filed an application with the County Auditor stating such facts as provided for by Law, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that after due consideration of the circumstances the Board of County Commissioners finds it advisable and proper to authorize the Chairman of the County Board and the County Auditor to execute the following:

DPNO 14040 in the amount of $17,141.83. The applicant is currently serving a life sentence plus 7 years in the penitentiary. He was ordered to repay attorney fees, resulting in the Department of Corrections forwarding a portion of the inmate's earnings to put towards the bill. The applicant has paid $3,095.02 and is requesting the lien be released with no further payment. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Twedt to deny the request. 5 ayes.
DPNO 68829 in the amount of $236.00. Sue Roust explained that the lien is for attorney services. The judge in this case ordered an amount that was less that what was submitted by the Public Defender's office to be filed. A resolution, adopted in 2000, allows liens which are recorded at higher than the court-ordered amount to be corrected administratively. In this case, the Register of Deeds has made the correction. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Twedt for no action. 5 ayes.
DPNO 22055 in the amount of $1,111.05. The applicant reported that the lien is for services provided to both himself and his ex-wife, and that he has made payments totaling $2,525.00. He requested that a public defender service be removed from the account and placed on another account in the name of his ex-wife only. He also requested that two other charges, incurred during the time that the couple was married, be split between the two accounts, which Commissioner Barth did not recommend. MOTION by Barth, seconded by Kelly to approve Resolution MC09-39. 5 ayes.

BRIEFING
Sue Roust, Auditor, briefed the Commission on a proposed grants policy to help standardize procedures for handling grants. The policy will also ensure that the Commission is informed of grant opportunities, inform department heads of their responsibilities, and assist the Auditor's office in preparing required reports. The policy has been reviewed by department heads for input. Ms. Roust explained that the information presented to the Commission will vary depending on the type of grant and that an administrative fee will be charged when possible. The Commission will consider adoption of the policy next week.
Ms. Roust also briefed the Commission on the benefits of moving to a purchasing card program. She explained that the purchasing cards would be similar to credit cards, but would allow streamlined payment processing by having one master account with multiple users, while providing flexibility on usage. Several area providers were contacted on whether they offered purchasing cards. Ms. Roust will present an RFP next week to move forward with this process.
TAX DEEDS
Sue Roust, Auditor, reported that the tax deed auction, held on 9/24/09, proved to be a success. All (nine) parcels were sold for a total of $119,150. Only two properties did not recover enough funds to cover back taxes and interest. She noted that Tax Deed #2514, in Dell Rapids, was offered at a minimum bid of $10,000. During the auction, this amount was called for with no offers, so the auction moved to the next property. After the auction, a successful bidder on two other properties offered to pay the minimum bid on TD #2514. After consulting with Gordy Swanson, Deputy State's Attorney, it was his opinion that the bid could be accepted because there was no announcement that the auction was closed. She recommended accepting the $10,000 for TD #2514. MOTION by Kelly, seconded by Barth to approve Resolution MC09-41. 5 ayes.
