| Work Detail | The Mille Lacs County Board approved at the board meeting on Aug. 30 to reimburse the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Tribal Police Department $11,333.52 for money the Band paid to the county for use of the records management system. The Band had paid the county a user fee of $25,608 for one full year of service. Since the revocation of the law enforcement agreement, the county disabled Tribal PDs use of the system. Tribal PD is entitled to receive a refund for the amount of time the system is disabled. In other news The agenda items listed for the last 8 a.m. work session included a review of previous sheriff’s office equipment purchases, 2017 budget discussion, and discuss the appointment of an applicant for employment. The applicant for the position of ECRL was discussed. The 2017 budget review would be discussed at a later date. Oman said he has been in budget meetings with all department heads. The review of sheriff’s office equipment purchases were not discussed. Instead, it was announced the parking lot paving project at the sheriff’s office outpost at Cove Bay would cost the taxpayers additional money – approximately $8,300 more. The crew doing the prep work discovered an undocumented buried foundation. “It must have been from the old school,” commissioner Tim Wilhelm said. The crew also nicked a power line and a fiber optic line. But the cost for repairs for those items would not be on the county dime. County chair Roger Tellinghuisen was concerned for the safety of the construction crew asking if there was any danger to the equipment operators. “Yes, there is,” Commissioner Dave Oslin said. The debris had to be removed from under the parking lot before the grading could occur. There will be additional costs incurred because the debris will have to be hauled away. No dollar amount was presented for the debris hauling. Field trip for the board The commissioners toured the three facilities on Tuesday, Aug. 30 after the board meeting. The board is looking at all existing buildings the county is using and considering possible future space for the sheriff’s outpost office on the northern end of the county.
