They are looking at 4.2 million to up-grade the rail and gas line.
Tien produced a map showing Page and Fremont County providing most of the
corn to service the plant. Buildings will be valued at approximately 18.1
million. At 9:30 a.m. the Board
contacted Robert Josten, Bonding Attorney, for a telephone conference with the
group. Josten agreeing with the
Board, stressed the bottom line needs to be that there is no risk to Fremont
County. Josten said the people that
want the revenue bond have to secure the financial sources first.
If they want the county to help they need to find the lenders first.
Henstorf said what they were looking for was support from the Board.
Josten will prepare a letter of intent stating what the county is willing
to do and what the limitations will be. Aistrope
asked the group if the letter of intent would satisfy everyone present and they
responded positively.

Project Development for HMN Architects, Inc. and Bob Jardon.
Steve Davis and Rick Freeman presented a Needs Assessment Study of the
current jail facility. Issues
regarding safety and security, ADA accessibility and storage were a few of the
issues that were discussed. Davis
said he really had to hand it to the county, that they have really tried to make
it a better environment. It’s a
much better environment than we usually see.
It does still have it’s own set of problems.
Their recommendation was if the county wants to use the existing space
for staff and office space they could do that.
It would not meet all the requirements and if you were not housing
inmates it would take care of a lot of the major problems. Stair and a new secure elevator on the facility, for a
new 36 bed housing indoor and outdoor rec. and medical control room etc. –
construction would total just over 2 million dollars, not including furniture
and fixtures; the whole thing at about 2.7 million. He said it was really a good facility but it has out lived
it’s lifetime. Fremont County is
not in any different shape then other counties around the area. A lot of jails are a hundred years old. Total new staff cost
is $172,889.65 based on the current numbers received from the Sheriff.
Larson made a motion to do a feasibility study on the Country Acres Care
Facility with a parliamentary report in two weeks and a final in three weeks.
Aistrope asked for any further discussion from the Board.
Hearing none, he called for a vote.
Larson, Aye; Whipple, Nay; and Aistrope, Nay.
Motion did not carry.
