By Sara QuamThe extension of the Rock County Pool and Fitness Center agreement didn’t happen as anticipated this week.The Rock County Board of Commissioners Tuesday morning tabled the issue, saying it would vote after hearing what the Luverne City Council decided.The City Council didn’t discuss the issue much at its Tuesday night meeting. Instead, council members said they would address it at another meeting … after a county vote.At the end of November, Rock County offered to extend the joint powers agreement until March 2005, three months longer. With that, it meant the county would pay a quarter of its annual costs.The county had previously terminated the agreement, meaning the city would have to bear all costs for the facility.With the extension offer, county commissioners said they hoped negotiations could continue.After the county’s offer, the city of Luverne came up with a resolution saying it would approve the extension with conditions: 1.) that Rock County authorize payment of capital purchases amounting to $11,825 and 2.) that Rock County pay a quarter of its half of the government contributions, $14,210.Placing those conditions wasn’t anything the county commissioners thought necessary, since they made the initial offer to extend the agreement.Commissioner Richard Bakken said, "We made this offer as a good faith measure and offered to pay, and they turned it around on us."County Attorney Don Klosterbuer said, "It’s not a pattern of cooperation."Commissioner Bob Jarchow said, "Oh my, that’s a revelation."Bakken said, "This is such a frustration to me that I can’t believe it. This thing is just about driving me nuts. Things used to work and we shared a lot of good agreements … we can’t go on like this."Bakken said a moderator or neutral party might be able to make sense of the political to and fro happening for the past year."Isn’t there an end point some place?" Bakken said.
