It was a bigger area and they did not have to put up any walls, They are putting in the ceiling grids and lights and painting it. They have a desk and chairs from the surplus property of the extension office and it should be ready by the end of the week. Discussion was held and this will need to go back on the agenda for approval at the next meeting. Mr. Humphrey reported they should start working on the front steps by the end of August. He also pointed out that there are numbers on the side walk sections because he has contacted a firm to note the trip hazard areas and they will grind them down to eliminate them. It is less expensive than changing out all of the concrete. Quandt expressed concern on the change of the space for the court interpreter and that this was illegal because the board had approved it before. The board approved the move and putting up a wall. Lancaster stated she would take it to the Attorney General. Richardson stated that this issue will go back on the agenda in 2 weeks.

DISCUSS & POSSIBLE ACTION FOR ELIMINATING COMMITTEES (LANFEAR) Lanfear stated that the board needs to make some decisions. He questioned if there should be a contact person for the elected official to put items on the agenda and ask if the meetings should be every other Tuesday like we have them now. They also need to authorize the Chair to sign off on the equipment improvement reserve funds. Lanfear ask County Attorney Sarah Carstensen if the board could have study sessions. County Attorney Sarah Carstensen stated that if they are work study sessions the board can meet but cannot make decision or take action. In the past the committee chair has had some authority to sign off on things. If discussion items are on the agenda and you cannot make a decision you may forget to take action. Lanfear if the board takes action then it has to be advertised but if it is just discussion it may take an extra meeting to take action. This will increase transparency and all board members will have time to think through whatever has been discussed. Lancaster noted that if it is on the agenda for discussion then it could be discussed and then address to take action this would increase transparency and all board members would have time to think it through. It would be important to have a signature on each item on the agenda or use the board chair's name on the items. She would prefer every other week. 6
