COUNTY BUILDING COMMITTEES, Courthouse West Addition: WeedNector Buildina Mr. Wagner prepared a memorandum to commissioners dated December 5, 2003, requesting approval at today's meeting to appoint a planning committee for two building projects included in the 2004 budget. The proposed building projects are a west addition on the courthouse and a weed/vector building at the county highway department. He is suggesting that two commissioners serve on each committee, along with county staff and a representative of the State judicial system since the county is responsible for housing the State District Court. Mr. Meyer declined to serve on either committee because he does not intend to be a candidate for county commission after his current term ends next December.
