Summary

The commission approved up to $10,000 for construction in the courthouse basement to create office space after the Human Service Zone added two employees; work will be completed by Jeff Ritteman while on county time using indirect funds.

Madison Crisman asked the Nelson County Commission on June 20 to reconfigure space in the courthouse basement to create a new office because the county’s Human Service Zone increased staff by two employees. The commission toured the basement space and discussed possible options to create or better utilize office space.

On a motion by Commissioner Aaron Mork, seconded by Commissioner Cameron Swenson, the board authorized construction to be done by Jeff Ritteman while on county time using indirect funds, up to $10,000. The motion carried by unanimous roll call vote. The minutes note the approval amount and the proposed arrangement but do not include a construction timeline or detailed scope of work.

The authorization directs county staff to proceed with the limited remodel within the approved budget and funding mechanism.
