F 20000199 Landis made a motion and Stelk seconded to authorize Northwest High School District #82 and Wood River High School District #83 to serve as school administrators for their own system. The board members expressed concern that the districts may not know what their options are even though they were contacted by letter. Mr. Harnish stated that he is sure the districts are aware of the changes caused by LB282 and are prepared to address them. Discussion was held and Stelk withdrew her second and Landis withdrew her motion. The board wants to contact Districts #12, #16 and #28 again. Arnold made a motion and Landis seconded to have Board Assistant Stacy Ruzicka contact Districts #12, #16 and #28 by phone and request a return reply in writing that they are aware that the office of County Superintendent will be eliminated and changes will need to be made for the administrative services for their district. Arnold, Hartman, Jeffries, Lancaster, Landis, Logan and Stelk all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried. This will be addressed again at the April 25 meeting. Stelk reminded the board that they would also need to address the spelling bee and the art program. She asked if the county board wants to contract with Mr. Harnish for these services. The board will need to address two options: retaining Mr. Harnish as the County School Administrator or only retaining his services for the educational activities. The two options will be addressed in separate contracts at the April 25 meeting. 13. APPROVE APPOINTMENT TO THE CVB BOARD: Lancaster stated that Bob Bessee who was appointed to the CVB board to replace Rae Osenbaugh will be leaving the state. The CVB board recommends Ron Lukesh or Melvin Wichman be considered for the appointment to fill the unexpired term. Lancaster made a motion and Logan seconded to approve the appointment of Ron Lukesh to fill the unexpired term on the CVB Board. Arnold, Hartman, Jeffries, Lancaster, Landis, Logan and Stelk all voted yes and none voted no. Motion carried. 14. DISCUSS AND APPROVE PURCHASE OF SHREDDER FOR ADMINISTRATION BUILDING: Lancaster stated that Election Commissioner Mary Kay Donor has a heavy duty shredder that the offices in the administration building have been using and it needs to be replaced. Mary Kay requested to use funds she has in the equipment and improvement reserve fund for this purchase but they are to be used for a printer that she feels she will not need. The audit committee discussed this matter and the equipment improvement reserve funds are to be used for specific projects and this would be different than the original request. These funds would need to be turned back to the general fund. Mary Kay submitted two proposals for the shredder one from Business World Products for $1,115.99 and one from Quill for $1,199.00 plus shipping. Lancaster made a motion and Logan seconded to approve the purchase of the shredder for the election commissioner from Business World Products for $1,115.99 and the claim will be paid from the special election budget.
