Commenter urges elevator in Hall County addition, praises elections worker for late hours

Commenter, a meeting attendee, told the Hall County meeting that the county's planned building addition should include an elevator and a dedicated employee entrance and said an elections office employee often works late shifts and deserves recognition.

The commenter said of the addition: "we would ever wanna take it where that where that places that we're gonna fill in, we can put a put a elevator in. And they're gonna have on the backside of the new addition, they're gonna have a place where employees can go in and out. It'd be just a short trip from there." The speaker compared the plan to a prior renovation, saying, "It'd kinda be like what we did here. The board wanted to take and just add an elevator shaft here, and then we turned around and squared off the building. But looking for the future to be So We're just trying to get your steps in."

On staffing and workload at the elections office, the commenter praised an employee for working long hours and urged better treatment: "You'll see her down here 10:30, 11 at night when when everything's happening. I just, she she does the job of any elected official in Hall County. She should be treated." The speaker also referenced part-time voter workers when describing the office's staffing: "if you exclude your voting, your voter part timers, how many year off? Over the election office second to no 1 in Nebraska, probably in the country."
