Commissioners report courthouse move nearly complete, set Sept. 16 open house and return meetings to 9 a.m.
Summary
Commissioners said courthouse renovations are largely done, scheduled a public open house and ribbon-cutting for Sept. 16, and voted to move regular commission meetings back to a 9 a.m. start time beginning in August.
Commissioners reported July 22 that courthouse renovation and office moves are largely complete and set a public open house and ribbon-cutting for Tuesday, Sept. 16, with a 3 p.m. foyer ceremony and public tours through 4:30 p.m.
During the meeting the board said staff and contractors performed well on the renovation and that the project came in on time and on budget. Commissioners invited past commissioners, council members and the public to the event.
Separately, the board voted to return regular commission meetings to a 9 a.m. start time beginning with the first August meeting, citing convenience and a desire to restore the prior schedule. Highway committee meetings were discussed and staff indicated they would move to an earlier slot to accommodate the change.
Why it matters: The courthouse reopening and public tours mark the conclusion of a major facility project and will reintroduce staff and public functions to renovated spaces; restoring the meeting time affects the daily schedule for staff and the public who attend commission meetings.
Next steps: Commissioners will participate in the Sept. 16 open house; staff will publicize event details. Meeting start-time change takes effect at the August meeting.
