A bid addendum clarifying underground utility work was read to prospective bidders for the Union County courthouse renovation, and the board reviewed a draft lease for the former REA (Turner) Building as a possible temporary site for county offices during construction.

A representative from Mollet Industrial Group read a bid addendum prepared by the project architect for the Courthouse Renovation/Improvement Project; the addendum provided clarifications for prospective bidders about underground wires and other site details. The minutes state copies of the addendum were provided to contractors prior to bid submissions.

Separately, county leaders reviewed a rough draft of a lease for the former REA Building (the Turner Building), currently owned by former Elk Point resident David Turner. Chairman Kevin Joffer will distribute the lease draft to fellow commissioners and to State's Attorney Zenner for review. Commissioners are considering the location as a temporary relocation site for the Auditor, Treasurer and Register of Deeds offices during construction to minimize service disruption and preserve safe workspaces for staff and the public.

The minutes record discussion of logistics for relocation and parking in the newly asphalted lot but do not record any motion to lease the Turner Building.
