Member Moors presiding. Also present were Brian
Grosinger, State's Attorney,
Sarah Bruce, Recorder, Robin Longie, Deputy
Recorder, Melissa Anderson, Connie Lemieux, and

Rolette City Mayor Blaine Scott, and Councilmem-
bers Andy Gilje, Nathan Casavant, and Randy Rost ap-
peared before the board with a letter requesting removal
of the current Housing Authority members and appoint-
ment of members to the Housing Authority from each
city, with the appointees to be a City Council Member or
appointee of the city council. The city council expressed
concerns in regards to current lack of staff in the Office,
crime rates have drastically increased in the last few
months and it has been difficult to know who is a resi-
dent and who is not in the Rolette units. Safety of the
residents in the City of Rolette is a concern, and cities
have a huge expense with streets, utilities, and policing
and many calls for service in the Housing Authority units.
Commissioner Poitra stated that the crime has not rose
in the last 2 months, and they do have staff in the office
in Rolette to respond, and issues have not been brought
up to the Housing Authority Board, which should be the
first route for communication. George Gottbreht, Dun-
seith City Council member also requesting that the
County Commission dissolve the Housing Authority and
restructure the current board to have City Council rep-
resentatives on the board, in response to the current sta-
tus of the Housing Authority, since the city provides
policing and residents are directly affected by the prop-
erty conditions and tenant behavior.
Merle Boucher, Connie Lemieux, also voiced con-
cerns regarding the current Housing Authority Board.
Henry LaRocque and Archie Metcalfe supported dis-
solving the board and restnrcturing as requested. Allen
Schlenvogt thought the current board has good repre-
sentation from around the county. State’s Attorney
Grosinger stated that the board would need cause for
removing board members, or have an agreement with
current board members before making changes. Craig
Poitra requested that the cities should bring concerns
and complaints with the Hoirsing Authority meeting,
which they meet today at 4 PM, at the Housing Author-
ity Office. Chairman Moors stated that they would dis-
cuss again in a month to see if there has been progress.
Sandy Shively and Ashley Louwe; North Central
Planning Council, appeared before the board to discuss
Application for removal of architectural barriers for the
Rolette County Historical Society Museum grounds,
which Rolette County is a sponsor for. Also present

$44,000 plus administrative costs funded at 100% and

ments in one building, but the entire grounds would need
to be remove architectural barriers. Other improve-
ments would include parking, sidewalks, ramps, doors,

improvements would need to be included with the appli-
cation. The estimated cost now is $187,686, with CDBG
funds of $44,000 and local funds of $11,000. Historical
Society has requested a hardship, and NCPC has re-
quested direction from the Department of Commerce
and HUD on how this may impact the project. Deadline
for final application and obligation is June 18th, or the
project may not receive funding for this year. No action
was taken.
