McCone County commissioners reviewed bids and funding for a new fairgrounds building and discussed next steps for engineering and potential insurance claims.
Commissioners said the county had approved about $280,000 for the building and roughly $240,000 for foundation preparation. They also cited an additional $75,000–$79,000 estimated for demolition. Commissioners said they would follow up with engineers (the transcript names "Nick at KLJ" as a potential contact) to determine whether further engineering work or an insurance claim would be cost-effective.
The board discussed the risk of spending additional money on engineering if the likely recovery from the insurer would be small. No formal new contract award or procurement decision appears in the recorded segments; the board said it would gather bills and follow up at future meetings.
The transcript also notes other capital items and that board members planned to coordinate with staff to finalize the project budget and next procurement steps.
