County accepts courthouse safety grant, schedules supplemental budget hearing for repairs
Summary
Kingsbury County accepted a $5,667 safety grant for courthouse security upgrades (push bars, glass extension, window tinting) with a county share of $1,416.75 and scheduled a supplemental budget hearing for June 4 to account for the work.
Register of Deeds Caryn Hojer told the Board she secured a $5,667 grant to install push bars on stairwells, extend glass in the Clerk of Courts office and add window tinting to south windows; the county's share of the costs was reported as $1,416.75. The Board accepted the ceiling-replacement estimate for third-floor offices from Beecher Home Services and agreed to defer painting of the Sheriff's lower level.
Auditor Echo Steffensen asked to schedule a supplemental budget hearing for the General Building account to capture the safety grant and courthouse repairs; the Board set the hearing for June 4, 2026. Emergency Manager Kristen Longville also sought repairs for an EMA vehicle (estimate $386.38) and received travel approval for Mass Care training June 7-10, 2026.
