Commissioner says Madison County courthouse remodel will go to April ballot; ballots mailed and due May 6
Summary
Duke Gilman, who introduced himself as the commissioner representing Sheridan, told the council that a remodel of the Madison County Courthouse will appear on the April ballot, that ballots will be mailed for the May election and must be returned by May 6, and that commissioners will draft a resolution because the courthouse cannot currently be used.
Duke Gilman, who introduced himself during public comment as the commissioner representing the Sheridan area, told the Town Council that a remodel of the Madison County Courthouse will be on the April ballot and that ballots for the May election will be conducted by mail. He said ballots must be returned by May 6 and that the county commissioners will prepare a resolution on the courthouse because it cannot currently be used.
Gilman said none of the polling places will be open for the May election and that voters must return mail ballots to the county. He characterized the situation as requiring a county resolution to address the courthouse’s unusability and said the commissioners will act accordingly.
Later in reports the council and attending officials noted the procedural steps: the first reading of the draft subdivision regulations occurred March 18, with a second hearing scheduled in two weeks; Duke Gilman said he would investigate any related ordinance or resolution references if questions arise.
The council did not take formal action on the courthouse matter; Gilman’s remarks were made during public comment and reported to inform residents about the upcoming ballot and the commissioners’ planned resolution.
