4. 2:00 p.m. Dave Prokesh- Mr. Prokesh is appearing at the board’s
request to discuss space
utilization/allocation by the Health and Human Services in the Courthouse.
This is
result of the necessity for the County Health Department and Driver’s
License
Examiners being required to move sometime after construction begins on the
new jail.
5. 2:30 p.m. Fred Denker – Ag Land Board update. The Area 3 AHLVB
will review on Monday
the Ag Land Values for Dakota County and Mr. Denker will advise the
board on what actions were taken.
6. BRO-7022(11) Change Order for earthwork of roadway revision. This
is a revision to the Homer
Bridge Project to relocate Wigle Creek Road
approximately 90 feet to the south at the intersection
of Omaha Avenue and Wigle Creek Road.
7. Weed Dept. Truck - The Board will consider amending the present
policy for the Weed Supt.
to drive the County Weed Pickup to and from work
and to limit that usage just during the weed season
April 1 through October 1.
Possible replacement of Road Dept. Pickup. The Road Foreman will ask the
County Board to
replace one of the pickups used in the Road Department.
8. Advertise Annex Building for sale. The Annex presently houses the
County Health Department
and the Driver’s Examiners. These departments
will be forced to move from this building sometime
after the construction of the new jail.
Therefore the county board is expected to take bids
to sell the building
to the highest bidder with a clause that the
bidder must move it.
9. Parking lot – With the construction of the new County Jail, the
county will loose approximately
50% of the parking stalls. The County Board will discuss the options
to provide the public and
employees with adequate parking.
10. Request the Property Tax Administrator to make the sales file database
available to Dakota County
on a quarterly basis pursuant to Sales File Regulation 12-003.08 .
Presently the County
receives the report on an annual basis and it does not allow the County Board
ample time to appeal certain sales. Changing this would allow the county t
o look at individual sales and to evaluate each sale whether the sale
should be used in the mix by the state to determine percent of value to sales
ratio for the different classes.
11. Interlocal Agreement with South Sioux City - The interlocal agreement
previously entered
into with South Sioux City prior to the Sales Tax
and Jail Election in August needs to be
amended to comply with present state law. This
is being recommended by the bonding agent.
12. Public Defender Resumes - The County advertised for resumes for the
Vacancy of Public
Defender created when Scot Dugan resigned from
said position. The Board is expected
to review the resumes received and to schedule
interviews with selected individuals.

the qualifications
for employees of the Road Department to have a Commercial Drivers License.
14. Miscellaneous items
