A special joint meeting of the Humboldt Public Safety Commission, the E911 Board, the Emergency Management Board and the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors was held in the Board of Supervisor's Room, Humboldt County Courthouse, Dakota City, Iowa at 11:00 a.m. on the 21st day of June, 2010 with the following members present: Harley Hett, Jerry Haverly, John Christianson, Harlan Hansen and Carl Mattes. Absent: None. Also present were members from the E911 Board and EMA Board: Sandra Edler, Roger Holtan, Dennis Miller, Roger Rongved Sr., Kirk Hundertmark, Walter Jensen and the Public Safety Commission members: John Christianson, Harlan Hansen and Walter Jensen. Others present were: Sheriff Dean Kruger, E911 Database Manager Cherese Sexe, Jim Gronbach, Linda Frideres and County Auditor Peggy Rice.

Walter Jensen, Chairman of the Public Safety Commission called the meeting to order. Linda Frideres, grant writer, was present to inform the joint boards of the requirements for a grant for Phase II of the Emergency Management Plan.

The members discussed the need for some letters from the architect on the state energy code and energy star ratings; these will need to be obtained soon. It was determined that the Public Safety Commission Board would discuss the approval of payment of these items at their July meeting. The members also discussed what may be needed to form a Joint Operations Center Board. The Board would be comprised of one representative from the City of Humboldt, one member from the Board of Supervisors, one member from the E911 Board, the Humboldt County Sheriff, one member from the Public Safety Commission Board, the Emergency Management Coordinator and one member from the Emergency Management Board. This Board would meet to plan and approve the changes to the Law Enforcement Center. No official Board action was taken.

Discussion was had on funding for the match money involved with the grant. After much discussion, it was summarized that three things need to be answered before we can proceed, they are:

1. Are we going forward with a grant application?

2. Are we forming a Joint Operations Center Board?

3. What percentage of the grant match do we apply for?

No official Board action was taken on any items mentioned.

A motion was made by Carl Mattes and seconded by Harley Hett to adjourn the joint meeting at 12:14 p.m. All voting aye.
