Davison commission to determine space availability in courthouse

Talk about it

“How much room is really available?” is a question the Davison County commissioners will seek to answer when they tour the courthouse as part of their regular weekly meeting.

The meeting begins at 9 a.m. Tuesday in the Commissioners’ Room at the courthouse, 200 E. Fourth Ave., Mitchell.

The commissioners last week received a request from Deputy Chief Court Services officer Ron Freeman for second floor office space for a new Davison County Drug Court that will begin operation this September.

Auditor Susan Kiepke said other departments also cramped and need more space.

The commissioners will tour the building to inventory available room before assigning any space.

The agenda includes:

• 9 a.m. Call to order, Pledge of Allegiance, approval of past meeting minutes, citizen input.

• 9:30 a.m. Courthouse tour.

• 10:15 a.m. Former Weed Supervisor John Geidel, 2012 weed report.

• 10:30 a.m. 4-H Adviser Alice Nickelson, regarding a copy machine lease; shooting sports building.

• 10:45 a.m. Discussion of wages for zoning, drainage administrator.

• 11:30 a.m. Miscellaneous items, including the approval of bills for payment and employee time sheets.
