Summary
Gwen Morris reported the museum reprinted courthouse paintings for $1,348 and asked the commissioners for permission to seek estimates and grants to restore a courtroom mural that she expects would cost more than $50,000; the board approved the request to pursue estimates and grants.
Gwen Morris told the board the museum completed reprinting the Courthouse paintings at a cost of $1,348 and said she would like to create a brochure describing the paintings' history.
