Motion by Mosher, second· by Froemming, and unanimously carried to approve payment of
County Board bills per Attathment A of the official minutes.
I S.A.P. 56-619-10 & Etc.
Mark Thorson, owner of Mark Sand & Gravel Company, discussed the issue of liquidated
damages by the County against his company. He explained that the company is in a period
of transition, with a lot of g~owth. He reported a payroll increase from 82 people to over 200.
During this period, the company is assessing and evaluating where the company will reside.
Currently, they are in the 'process of moving to a temporary location. He stated that the
business is highly comp~titive in Otter Tail County and everyone wants their projects
completed by September 1pth , so it becomes difficult, at times, to juggle the schedules and it
is not possible to avoid fall competition. Mr. Thorson continued discussing the condition of
Highway 19 and presentedJ pictures; maintaining that the life of the road has been increased
by waiting until spring to pave the road. He previously requested a reduced amount of
liquidated damages, not t9 exceed $20,000. The Highway Committee will research and
deliberate on this issue further and the item will be placed on the County Board agenda next
week for a decision.
Su~day 10:00 a.m. Opening to Serve Liquor
County Attorney, David Hauser, reported that the governing body may permit an
establishment/club to sell ~lcoholic beverages with the sale of food between the hours of
10 a.m. to 1 :00 a.m. If the JBoard wants to allow the sale of liquor at 10:00 a.m. on Sundays
for the Balmoral Golf Course, it would require an ordinance. Commissioners requested
information on what other counties and municipalities are doing in regards to the sale of
liquor on Sunday mornings.
