Nobles County approves up to $60,000 in temporary leases while War Memorial building is renovated
Summary
The Nobles County Board approved a not-to-exceed $60,000 authorization from building fund reserves to lease SMOC and Head Start space so the Nobles County Library can operate during War Memorial Building renovations.
The Nobles County Board of Commissioners approved a temporary-lease funding authorization on Sept. 25 to keep library services running while the War Memorial Building undergoes improvements. Chairperson Justin Ahlers presided as the board voted to use building fund reserves to cover leasing at alternate locations if needed.
The motion authorized a "not-to-exceed" $60,000 draw from building fund reserves to pay leases for the SMOC & Head Start Building to house library operations during construction. The motion was moved by Commissioner Gene Metz and seconded by Commissioner Bob Paplow, and the board approved the authorization. The War Memorial Building houses both the Nobles County Library and the Nobles County Art Center, and officials discussed how operations will continue during construction and which facilities the library will use.
The board did not record further line-item funding details or a construction timeline in the meeting minutes excerpt. Board staff listed next steps for operations planning and indicated that additional logistics — including precise lease terms and moving schedules — will be resolved administratively.
