Summary
Bids for the Cattlemen's Association fairgrounds building ranged to a combined estimated $250,001.57 using low numbers; the county had budgeted $110,000 and the association indicated it might cover the remainder. Commissioners asked staff to return in two weeks with final totals and value‑engineering options.
