Lancaster stated that she has brought us in line and updated the ballot counter"Annie" and now <br /> we can also print our own ballots and now have the red, white and blue ballot box. Denise has <br /> been her 29 years and she appreciates her friendly service to Hall County. She also stated that <br /> Hall County asked Dale to consider the position as Election Commissioner and adjusted the <br /> hours to work for her and Denise worked full time. <br /> Arnold stated that the election committee met and discussed to move the election commissioner <br /> position to full time and hire a replacement official as an employee and work under Dale until <br /> she retires. There would be 3 people in the office for a time and Dale will work part-time <br /> through the next election cycle and hope that the person that is hired will be the election <br /> commissioner. This would be a huge benefit to the office. Arnold noted that this would have to <br /> be addressed at budget time. They also recommended that the employee would be part time <br /> and hire a full time election commissioner by November 1, 2017 <br /> Arnold also suggested that the board consider hiring the part time person before the election to <br /> allow time for training. The board will need to provide dollars in the budget to cover the <br /> expenses. <br /> Richardson stated that this is a good plan.

Motion carried <br /> 12 FACILITIES —a) CONSTRUCTION UPDATE - Mr. Humphrey stated that they are still in the <br /> demo mode at the Federal Building and they are starting some framework. They have also <br /> treated some asbestos in the building and there is some odor from the asbestos treatment <br /> Mr. Humphrey distributed a time line for the renovations of the Federal Building and they are still <br /> hoping for the September 18t date. Craig Thurston did a good job on this time line. Demolition <br /> is about 90% done and they have run into some things in the walls that will have to be <br /> addressed. There were no studs over 2 doorways so the drywall was holding the studs and <br /> there were some electrical wires connected to the fire sprinkler system. That would have not <br /> passed inspection. The company has been cleaning up every night and they use the rest room <br /> in the basement and clean it up every night. They are doing a very nice job. They were also to <br /> put up a sign that construction is going on and they have done everything they have been asked <br /> to do. <br /> 10 <br />
