GIS Platform Presentation- Jon explained that Brosz Engineering is trying to guide clients to make the switch to a GIS system to keep information in one place. The GIS platform being presented can keep track of projects, road easements, box culverts, etc. The program can be accessible to anyone with the username and password. The system includes the City of Baker area as well, including Baker Lake. The city has recently hired them to do street evaluations, which will also be recorded in the GIS system. It can be available to the public and make it so it is only in viewer mode, and it cannot be changed. Jon gave the group examples of a sign inventory in Lawrence County in South Dakota that was recently done. Widgets can also be developed, which will separate
the information out to what the viewer is wanting to see. The County would be able to make changes and
updates as time goes. There is an annual fee of $2,000, with a $500 creator license. It is 100% county owned data. Esri is the industry leader in GIS platforms, which is what Brosz Engineering goes through. This could be utilized in many county entities, such as the Weed Department, Parks, Dispatch, DES, Road, etc. Brosz can do as little or as much as the county wants them to do and will charge by the hour.

The project cost as a whole will be taken into consideration and .5% of the cost will be paid to the counties. The first three years after the construction begins is when the fees are implemented. Once the final layout is ready, and before construction begins will be better to determine the number of wind turbines and the acreage involved in each county.

grants, and they are very interested in these areas. She would like to continue this discussion regarding the scholarships and grants.

The Commission was simply exploring different options and asking questions to see what that would look like. No actions are being made at this time. The Commission is not interested in shutting down any services. They feel that EMS should be ran by a board, and not County Commissioners. Lisa feels that the Commission is working very hard to find a better solution for EMS and the community. The hospital currently does the billing for EMS, which is why the questions began.

The plan is for it to be a co-op-based daycare. Vaughn is speaking with some of the larger businesses in town regarding donations, as well as involving the community.

A memo from May 14th of 2020 was reviewed which explains that when selling this type of land, Fallon County must give full disclosure, restrictions, and location of disposal cells, then the buyer assumes responsibilities for the integrity of the site. The original landowner can never fully divest themselves from all responsibilities in an old superfund site. Rich Batterman read through State Statute and explained that anyone who ever owns or
operates a landfill assumes responsibility. Whoever the purchaser is must be notified of the restrictions of the old landfill site. Rich Batterman does not believe the county has any liability. It would be up to the city to determine what to do about the DEQ. The city will not send a letter releasing the land purchaser of liability. The land purchaser must maintain the integrity of the site. The next step will be putting the notice on record and
discussing with the potential person that bid on the property previously. Darcy will draft a letter for the
Commission signature.
4:23 PM Darcy, Rich, Steve, Rich, Kevin, Cindy, and Brenda left the meeting.
