Detention Facility Food service
County Attorney Wally Senyk informed the Board that he was preparing
bid documents to advertise for bids for three alternative forms of
contract relating to the operation of the detention facility food
service. The three alternatives are: First, the complete operation
of the food service, including providing food products, management,
personnel and dietician services; second, providing only the food
necessary for the county staff to prepare and feed inmates; third, the
cost of providing only management and dietician services for the
county kitchen staff. The requested proposals are for the costs of
each alternative for one year.
Motion by Lindquist, seconded Lee and unanimously carried to authorize
the County Attorney to complete the bid documents for the three
alternatives discussed and to advertise for bids to be opened on
May 1, 1991.

described on their
attachment.
County Attorney Wally Senyk responded to earlier questions of the
County Board regarding the county law library fund. He stated that on
the basis of current statutes, title to the library and its property
is with the county. Therefore, the state of Minnesota would not be
able to take over the law library as part of accepting responsibility
for the District Court. Law library funds may be used to "purchase or
lease books or library facilities." How that may be accomplished will
be further described in the bylaws of the library Board of Trustees
which are currently being drafted.
