COUNTY ATTORNEY 2a CONSIDER AND TAKE ACTION ON PROPOSED INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR DRUG COURT- County Attorney Jerry Janulewicz presented a copy of the proposed interlocal agreement for drug court. The agreement has been circulated to the county attorney's in the other counties and they have approved it. The agreement would end on June 30, 2003. In section five of the agreement it establishes a "governing board" with representatives from Phelps, Adams, Buffalo and Hall County. The board will have a chairperson and a secretary to serve a term of one year. The board will hire a director and acquire equipment and supplies as necessary. The annual budgets will be approved by the governing bodies and by the participating county boards. The director or some one else could be appointed as the fiscal agent. They were not sure if all of the expenses would run throughout Hall County so each county will be able to approve claims. Jeffries made a motion and Humiston seconded to approve the interlocal agreement. The new director is an employee of Hall County and Lancaster questioned if the fiscal agent and the director should be two different people. This would prov!de a better check and balance. Lancaster suggested that the fiscal agent could be the county clerk or treasurer. Eriksen suggested that there should be representation from the county boards that are involved. Janulewicz stated that this agreement is only good for one year and seven months and it is a starting place. Changes may need to be made in the next eighteen months. Concern was expressed on the power of the governing board and how the claims will be paid. Most of the funding dollars will come through Hall County and each county board will be responsible for auditing the claims. The vote on the motion was taken. Arnold, Erikson, Hartman, Humiston, Jeffries, Lancaster and Logan all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried. 2b.
