During a recent government meeting, officials discussed critical infrastructure issues, particularly the deteriorating roof of the sheriff's office. The board acknowledged the need for immediate action to stabilize the roof, which has multiple openings and is beyond repair. A proposal was made to rent equipment to cover the roof with plywood and tarps to prevent further water damage until a professional assessment can be conducted.

Emery, a key participant in the discussion, emphasized the importance of hiring an engineer or architect to perform a structural survey of the building. This step is crucial to ensure the building's integrity and to guide future decisions regarding the roof replacement. The board agreed to table the decision on hiring an engineer until the next meeting, hoping to have a qualified candidate on board by then.

In addition to the roof discussion, the board reviewed naming options for a local park currently referred to as Buddy Park. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board recommended naming it \"Cook's Corner Central Park,\" while retaining the nickname \"Buddy Playground\" for the associated play area. This suggestion received unanimous support from the advisory board, and the government officials expressed their approval, indicating a willingness to consider the recommendation further.

The meeting concluded with a discussion on improving signage throughout the county, particularly to better inform residents about local events and facilities. Officials noted the underutilization of existing billboards and expressed a desire to enhance community engagement through better communication.
