By Sara QuamIt looks as if ownership of the Rock County Pool and Fitness Center will stabilize for a few months.The Rock County Board of Commissioners and Luverne City Council have agreed to extend their joint powers agreement until March 2005.The extension really means that the effective date of termination is further away. The county had earlier terminated its joint powers agreement effective Dec. 31, 2004.Luverne City Councilman Pat Baustian said he saw the extension request from the county as a positive move for the two bodies who have disagreed on joint ventures for more than a year.Commissioner Richard Bakken said, "You can’t argue with success and it’s a great place we provide the county."County Commissioner Jane Wildung said she hoped the two could work out joint agreements, such as law enforcement, in order to continue services as they have in the past."We’ve subsidized it for the entire county for so long that I don’t want rates to increase so much that it’s not affordable to people of lower income. … It’s a drawing card for our community," Wildung said.The City Council will vote on a resolution to continue the agreement at its next meeting, Dec. 14. The resolution will include the following conditions: oThat Rock County authorizes payment of the county’s share of the 2004 capital purchases ($11,825) with payment being made by Dec. 31, 2004. oThat Rock County authorize payment of 25 percent of the county contribution, for 2005 ($14,210) payable on Jan. 15, 2005.
