b) AUTHORIZE BOARD CHAIR TO SIGN THE GRANT APPLICATIONS - Quandt made a motion and Lanfear seconded to authorize the chair to sign the grant applications. Mr. See also noted that the enhancement grant is another funding source and included the alternative detention costs. Ms. Carstensen noted that the detention costs have gone up and are currently very high. She stated that the detention alternative may be an option instead of secure detention. They can use electronic monitoring devices to help reduce those costs. Secure detention is at $255.00 a day where the electronic monitors are $125.00 a day. The alternative detention is passed on the assessment that determines the appropriate services. This is a contract service. The vote on the motion to authorize the Chair to sign was taken. Arnold, Bredthauer, Lancaster, Lanfear, Quandt, Richardson and Schuppan all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried. 16 DISCUSSION& POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING PAST DUE RENT FROM TRAVIS RAINFORTH - Mr. Quandt questioned if the rent had been paid and Ms. Carstensen stated that she had talked to Mr. Rainforth and he stated that a check was sent to Hall County but that check did not clear and he will bring in a check sometime this week. This will be on the addenda for next week to acknowledge that it was received. 7D UPDATE REGARDING ROOF LEAK AT THE FEDERAL BUILDING — Mr. Humphrey was present and he stated that the leak was on the inside of the building on the southeast corner. It caused the ceiling fan to fall. They think the rain may have started the problem. The roof is covered with snow and ice and they will have to wait until it melts to find the leak. Quandt questioned the age of the roof and Loran stated that it was put on in 1010. They will have to look at it to determine if it was the roof that was leaking. 7e UPDATE ON FEDERAL BUILDING ROOF LEDGE — Mr. Humphrey included pictures of the roof ledge. The picture was taken on top of the roof and this is a 2 foot ledge that is below the edge of the roof. The snow sits on the ledge and then as it melts it drips down on the front steps by the front door. This may be contributing to the deterioration of the steps. He tried to contact Dena Sanford regarding this issue and find a solution. He will keep the board posted when he has more information and has talked to Dena. 7e DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION USING COURTHOUSE RESERVE TO PAY FOR EXTERIOR STEP REPAIR AND RESTORATION — Richardson noted that this was not included in the Building and Land fund as a separate line item and they felt the best place to pay it from would be from the Courthouse Reserve line item. The total amount of the project was $98,000.00 and Loran stated that it came in at the bid price. 4
