Commissioners remove $285,000 placeholder for fairgrounds storage; consider airport site instead
Summary
Board debated a $285,000 placeholder for a storage building at the fairgrounds, failed to retain the line item, and directed further investigation into locating the structure at the airport business park after concerns raised by the sheriff.
Commissioners debated whether to keep a $285,000 placeholder in the fairgrounds capital budget for a storage building. A motion to retain the line item failed in a voice vote, removing the placeholder from the budget.
Sheriff Levi Dominguez raised concerns about placing a building next to a memorial and the potential loss of parking intended for a law-enforcement memorial park. Commissioners discussed investigating the airport business park as an alternative site and agreed that the project could be pursued later as a budget amendment once a concrete plan and location are identified.
