Bank had resubmitted their proposal for renovation of the
courtyard located in front of the old county courthouse and
this was being presented to the board at this time for their
consideration.
Mr. Orndoff stated that he felt this should have a
public hearing in order to receive citizen input. He
further stated that he has heard from county residents
opposing this proposal and feels this is being pushed
through and being done under cover, which is not right.
Mr. Dick explained that the board members were being
asked to say Aye or Nay as this project has to start some-
where.
Mr. Orndoff reiterated that he still felt a public
hearing was needed.
