I Mr. Grindberg reported that there may be Federal Aid money available after May for the County Road 26 project which is being proposed in two segments. However, Mr~ Eckert felt that there are other roads in the County that need work more than County Road 26. The Board asked Mr. Grindberg to bring up the matter again next week 'when a' full Board is pres'ent. Mr. Eckert asked that the Commissioners view this road and, look at it in comparison with other roads. Mr. Eckert brought to the Board's attention a railroad crossing on County Road 3 'near Buffalo, which he feels is very hazardous. Mr. Grindberg stated that he has contacted the Public Service Commission on this particular crossing and they feel it does not warrant a change because of the amount of traffic on that road. Mr. Grindberg also sent a letter to the State Highway Department, and he is waiting for a reply from them. Mr. Eckert asked that the Commission members view this situation at the time they view County Road 26. Architect Dick Moorhead gave a progress report on the Courthouse Addition. ,He stated that the Commission will have to determine a basic type of telephone system ,at this time. Discussion will continue next Wednesday. Architect Moorhead presented proposals for basic equipment costs for a central 'air conditioning unit which could be loca,ted in the new addition. He estimated a cost of $22,000.00 for the basic equipment for the addition. This amount would increase to ,$38,000.00 if it would be sized to include the present Courthouse, and it would increase to $44,000.00 if it were sized to include the new building, the present Courthouse and the County Jail. This matter will also be placed on the agenda next Wednesday, 'and the Board suggested talking to Sheriff Rudnick in the meantime about his feelings on air conditioning the County Jail.
