Commissioners defer courthouse steps repairs until spring 2025 after demolition plan presented
Summary
Commissioner Tom Appel and Widseth engineers proposed full demolition of courthouse step landings and reviewed three repair options including heating; the board asked for cost estimates and agreed by consensus to delay repairs until Spring 2025.
Tom Appel, Commissioner, together with engineers Dana Hlebichuk and Tara Rohman of Widseth presented a proposal calling for complete demolition of the courthouse landings and reviewed three repair options, including whether to add heating. After board questions, Hlebichuk and Rohman agreed to research costs and prepare estimates for the board.
"Consensus of the board is to not make the repairs until Spring of 2025," the minutes record. County leaders said deferring the work would allow time for additional cost analysis and planning alongside other capital needs.
The presentation did not establish a contractor, cost estimate or funding source; the board asked staff to return with draft estimates in a future meeting. The board’s decision was procedural rather than a formal motion to expend funds, and the matter remains on the capital projects list for 2025 planning.
