Ottawa Board of Education resumed bond planning proposing a new north side elementary school and high school HVAC overhaul. Eminent domain was ruled out, with a small working group to coordinate with city officials on locations. Survey results show strong support for new schools but a need to address central neighborhood renovations for older voters.

Sheriff to address jail crowding with commissioners
Sheriff Craig Davis said he will speak to county commissioners Wednesday about the future of the jail which has grown crowded in recent years. Johnson County pays $45 per day for each inmate it can accept and few out-of-county prisoners have been housed recently. Davis outlined options including refusing out-of-county inmates moving the juvenile detention center or remodeling offices, with rising inmate numbers risking space shortages and possible third-party rental.
