Summary
Auditor Melissa Gray warned of parking and road-closure impacts from the Rock the Rind festival; commissioners approved a temporary deadline requiring utility claims to be submitted by 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday of festival week with same-day payment processing. Decisions about altering courthouse hours were left to individual elected officials and department heads.
Auditor Melissa Gray outlined operational concerns ahead of the Rock the Rind Festival, citing likely road closures and parking constraints that could affect courthouse access. Commissioners discussed whether courthouse offices should alter operating hours but agreed the decision should rest with each elected official and department head based on operational needs.
To accommodate festival-related road closures, the board adopted a temporary administrative change requiring all utility claims to be submitted by 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday of festival week, with payment processing that same day. The motion to set the temporary claims submission deadline and payment date was made by Commissioner Andrew Stauffer, seconded by Commissioner Drew Markel, and carried 2-0.
