Board hears about Southwestern Electric building coming to market; department heads invited to tour
Summary
Jeff Rehkemper told the board the Southwestern Electric property will be sold via sealed-bid auction and invited department heads to inspect the site; board members noted prior tornado damage and possible insurance shortfalls.
During new business at the May 19 meeting, Jeff Rehkemper said he had spoken with the CEO of Southwestern Electric about the company's building being sold through a sealed-bid auction. Rehkemper invited department heads to tour the property to evaluate its potential for county use or acquisition.
Board member Wes Pourchot cautioned that the building had previously sustained tornado damage and that insurance may not have covered repairs. The minutes do not record a formal motion to pursue purchase; Rehkemper's announcement served to notify department heads and solicit tours so staff could evaluate the property further.
