Commission allows probation to occupy sixth-floor office, with contingency
Summary
The commission approved giving the probation office the former court reporter's room on the sixth floor now, with a contingency that the allocation could change pending a courthouse study and remodel (timing tied to elevator work).
The Harrison County Commission approved a motion to allow the probation office to occupy the old court reporter's room on the sixth floor, subject to contingency language that the space allocation may change after a planned courthouse study and remodel.
The probation officer asked for the space to accommodate polygraph exams and future staffing needs as supervised-release caseloads grow. Commissioners noted practical constraints — storage relocation, IT work to secure the space, and elevator replacement timing — and agreed the probation office could move in now but that the arrangement might be temporary.
Next steps: staff will coordinate the move, assist with in-house labor for packing and IT as promised, and revisit permanent space decisions following the courthouse study and elevator replacement timeline.
