Saline County courthouse maintenance woes discussed
Saline County faces maintenance and supervision gaps at the new Saline County courthouse after the supervisor was let go. The Saline County Board seeks to have a county officer hire and supervise maintenance staff, with the building commission currently paying for supplies and bond-backed cleaning funds.
County Officials Clash Over Courthouse Cleaning Supervisor
Henderson says 6600 dollars a year are budgeted for cleaning with 16 years of bond interest ahead. The Williamson County Board seeks county officer authority to hire cleaning staff, contending for control in the dispute with Sheriff Oxford who asserts he has the legal right to hire. Building Commission chair Thurmond hopes the bond company will permit hiring a supervisor, while Oxford pushes back saying he retains jurisdiction. Republicans control the board, while Oxford is a Democrat.
