The county <br />board requested information on the plans for the remodeling and stated they would not <br />forward any dollars until this information was received. Lancaster stated that she <br />received a letter from the Health Board President Mark Jorgensen out-lining the steps <br />that have been taken and requesting the one time financial assistance for the building. <br />Jim Eriksen stated he would like to have Ms. Simpson present additional information on <br />the remodeling estimates. Ms. Simpson stated that the health department did not <br />request any additional dollars from the city or the county at budget time they only <br />requested assistance with the building project. She met with the architect two weeks <br />ago and the health department will fit nicely into the attorney building. They will need <br />two large areas for clinics and the WIC program and they will need to have the lab <br />installed. They are requesting funding support from the county and then they will go to <br />the city for funding. <br /> <br />Discussion was held on the organization of the new district health board. The planning <br />committee is working on the members for the district health board and the agreement. It <br />was questioned if other counties could assist in the cost of the building and if rent could <br />be charged. Eriksen stated that was a good point and had been discussed by the <br />planning committee and they need to address this with the city. Eriksen suggested that <br />this be referred to the long-range planning committee. Discussion was held and it will be <br />referred to the building and grounds committee and they can look at the options of rent <br />and contributions from the other counties and come back with a recommendation. <br /> <br />17 DISCUSS JAKE BRAKES - Jeffries requested that this item be addressed.
