Christian County’s fiscal court approved several infrastructure and capital items during its special call, including one‑time equipment costs for an emergency communications IT upgrade, a repair plan for the historic Alhambra Theatre and agreements to facilitate tornado shelter design and engineering.

Representatives from the county’s Emergency Communications Center explained a Copperband quote that would cover one‑time setup and equipment costs (a setup figure around $24,000 was discussed on the record) while recurring maintenance and operational costs would be absorbed by ECC. The court approved the one‑time payment and recorded an abstention from one member.

The court also approved a sealing/repair proposal for the Alhambra Theatre to address leaking and plaster issues; staff noted the need to balance preservation with possible shut‑down timing for multi‑month repairs. Separately, the court approved a design/engineering award to advance tornado shelter plans that will cover multiple shelters across the county and may require lease/deed work or extensions prior to construction.

Each item was approved on motion, and the court asked staff to manage timing and to return with schedules or requests for extensions as needed.
