Commission discusses clearing old courthouse inventory, suggests spring auction or transfer to local groups
Summary
Commissioners discussed removing and disposing of furniture and equipment from the old courthouse, suggesting outreach to the Fair Board or museum and aiming to clear items in spring; no formal motion was adopted.
Commissioners discussed items stored in the old courthouse on Nov. 24, including chairs, a plaque on a custom stand, bookcases and air-conditioning units. Several commissioners said the items should not be left to go to waste and suggested contacting local organizations such as the Fair Board or the museum to take items or to hold an auction/garage sale in the spring.
Commissioner comments included praise for the quality and usefulness of the chairs and other wood furniture; one commissioner said some items were already moved informally to other offices. The group agreed it would be sensible to begin outreach to local organizations over the winter and to plan removal and disposition in the spring.
They also discussed coordinating with Foster County (drive out to inspect) and watching nearby township and county roads for damage related to contractor activity. Commissioners asked staff to inspect the site and report back before any signatures or formal commitments are made.
No formal disposition motion was adopted; the item was left as future business with instruction for staff and commissioners to examine options and bring recommendations back to the commission.
