Sheriff Tracy Ploutz presented two bids for a training room in the basement.  After consideration, the Commissioners did not accept the bids asking instead that he rebid the project with the bottom of the wall construction being cinder blocks and then framed and sheet rocked thereafter.  Sheriff Ploutz discussed the recent bale fires in the community and said they were suspicious in nature.  They are working on the cases.  Also, a new deputy has been hired and he will send him to the academy for training.

 

Larry Sharp, Member Services Representative with KCAMP, reported 57 counties were now affiliated with KCAMP.  He explained the many services they offered with emphasis on training.
