Salvation Army could again work in cooperation with Welfare. <br />A further problem is that County Welfare Director Janice <br />Lindsey was working in cooperation with the Salvation Army <br />as an unpaid director, but she was working on county time; <br />her time must go to County Welfare and not the Salvation <br />Army, and that is why the division was made. <br />Commissioner Wodtke felt we should look at this space <br />as a possibility and find out what rent the Salvation Army <br />could pay. <br />Discussion continued as to the DAV using the Welfare <br />Building, and Veterans Officer Cook felt that with the use <br />of this building, they probably could treble their <br />membership. He pointed out that in the American Legion, <br />they have to share quarters with an open bar, a poolroom, <br />etc., and it is almost impossible to hold a formal meeting. <br />He further noted that while many organizations in our county <br />are content to conduct their business at luncheon meetings <br />in different locations, the DAV functions require a lodge <br />home. <br />Further discussion ensued as to how organizations such <br />as the VFW and American Legion have constructed their <br />lodges, and Commissioner Wodtke asked if a short term lease <br />of the building would be helpful to the DAV Iso they could do <br />some minimum repairs and maintain it, and in the meantime <br />become more strongly organized, and raise funds to build <br />their own lodge. <br />Mr. Cook believed that such an arrangement would give <br />them a start so that within 8 years they could raise enough <br />money to go out and buy a $100,000 building. <br />Commissioner Fletcher's Motion in regard to authorizing <br />the Administrator to make a determination of interest in the <br />building by agencies such as the Salvation Army and the DAV <br />and to begin negotiations for a lease on a short term basis <br />was read aloud. <br />29 <br />FEB 171982 <br />®OK 48 PHC� <br />
