Summary
Auditor Chandra Schumacher received board permission to hire two ballot drivers and one elections staff funded by federal dollars; the auditor also reported bids for windows and ADA doors and plans to reconfigure counters for ADA compliance.
Chandra Schumacher, Lincoln County Auditor, requested permission to hire two drivers for ballot boxes and one elections staff member for ballot preparation and opening using federal election funds; the board approved the three part-time positions by unanimous vote. Schumacher also reported that bids for windows and ADA doors for the Public Safety building came in at approximately $10,000 and $10,000–$12,000 respectively and said she will follow up on a potential cooling tower bid with a contractor (Apollo).
The auditor said she will move forward with reconfiguring the countertop and removing the glass partition in the recording and elections area to meet ADA height requirements and to add licensing counter space in September during a licensing and recording conference. The minutes record these facility and staffing steps but do not include contract awards or vendor names for the construction work at this stage.
