County eyes courthouse annex amid budget changes in 1984
Budget effective Jan 1 1984 will raise the county Social Security cost for workers by about 100000. Commissioners tentatively earmark about 300000 to start a possible note for a 5 million courthouse annex and parking project. They remain split on financing via bonds or certificates of obligation. Fisher favors certificates for speed and notes no election is needed. Construction would start in 1983-84 to meet 1985 and 1986 courtroom needs as legislated.
