County Relandscapes Courthouse Grounds At Over $30,000
County hired private bidders for a grounds project though a county horticulturist exists and work could have been done in house. Some perennials and bulbs were saved for reuse, while the rest were replaced at taxpayer expense. The 911 system is funded by a 75 cent monthly telephone tax per line, capped by state law. No plans to expand fire stations to house ambulances. reserve equipment will be moved to two ambulance stations to free space.
