DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING COURTHOUSE PROJECT <br /> Mr. Quandt stated questioned if the board should look at building a new courthouse and asked if <br /> the board wanted to look at changes. <br /> Mr. Schuppan stated that maybe they need to look at a new building by the jail. A new building <br /> may not be an option but he would like to see some drawings and have some feedback from the <br /> public. Mr. Quandt agreed that there would be no harm in looking at it. <br /> Mr. Arnold expressed concern that for a new facility we would have to more than double the <br /> space for a new building and we do have some idea of the cost. He is not willing to forget about <br /> the Courthouse it is not a building that can be made into office space and we will still have the <br /> cost of the current upgrades. He also expressed concern that the location at the jail may not be <br /> a good location because of the railroad tracks and they may be issue with the site development. <br /> He does not want to give up on the historic courthouse. <br /> 6A) PUBLIC WORKS — 10:00 A.M.
