boards. When it is implied that there is wrong doing it concerns him. He is aware of purchasing <br /> rules and until there are bids let and awarded they would have to prove there would be a <br /> monetary gain. He respects Steve and he has never done anything questionable. There is no <br /> question about the integrity of Casey and Jack. He does not like this. <br /> County Surveyor Casey Sherlock requested to address the anonymous letter. He noted that <br /> Mr. Schuppan as chair of the public works committee brought the design build option to the <br /> board but Casey stated he talked to every one of the board members informing them of the <br /> process that they were looking at. It was added as an agenda item and he and his staff <br /> prepared a resolution for the process. He informed each member that he obtained an estimate <br /> of the cost from Chief and he is the only one that has that estimated amount it is a budget <br /> number. <br /> Casey also explained that he met with Mr. Rasmussen in 2013 and Chief approached him about <br /> the fact that Hall County was looking at a new facility and offered to assist at no cost. <br /> The reference that he is "beer drinking buddies" Casey stated that he has shared an alcoholic <br /> beverage with everyone on the board except Marla and he met with Ms. Bredthauer when she <br /> was with Regional Planning. As Jack has stated he and Jack are friends. <br /> Schuppan also noted that with the design build process there is a separate committee that goes <br /> over the bids, not the county board. Casey read State Statute 13-2907 noting the members that <br /> would be part of the committee. The state statutes are very clear it is more than the county <br /> board members. <br /> Richardson thanked Mr. Schuppan for putting this on the agenda and going line by line with the <br /> rebuttal. It is public record and the county has received hate mail before but she is glad he took <br /> this step. This is unacceptable behavior and they board has spent an hour of time on this issue <br /> and this has taken away time from the work we need to do. <br /> Bredthauer noted that at the NACO training for new supervisors they were told to be careful <br /> when using E mail. She expressed concern that if the county E mail is a link to her personal E <br /> mail she questioned if there could be a leak. <br /> Lancaster stated that this is a waste of time and everyone has personally responded and she <br /> hopes that there is a benefit. She does not like airing dirty laundry and sees no relevance. <br /> Arnold explained that if the county E mail is attached to personal E mail is just like forwarding an <br /> E mail. There is no connection if it is on the county E mail it becomes public. Bredthauer <br /> expressed concern that someone could hack into an account she noted the issue with Hillary. <br /> Arnold noted that this is not an issue. County E mail is public record you do not answer from <br /> personal E mail. <br /> Schuppan noted that he has been here longer and this is a pattern. <br /> Lanfear withdrew is motion and Schuppan withdrew his second. Schuppan stated you can't fix <br /> stupid. Lancaster stated that this issue is trash. <br /> Lancaster noted that representative from Chief are present and she is grateful to chief for the <br /> Corrections Department building. <br /> 11 <br />
