(Audubon) The Audubon County Board of Supervisors held their organizational meeting this week.
Meetings will continue to be held each Tuesday morning at 9:00. Heath Hansen was sworn in on the board. Appointed as Chairperson was Doug Sorensen with Rick Thompson as Vice-Chair. County employees will continue to get nine days off for holidays. “Previous years we’ve had nine holiday closings through the year so we stayed with that. We’ve had one flexible close and the desire of the people in the courthouse was to do it the day after Christmas instead of Easter or Good Friday. That’s what we set it at, so it will be the day after Christmas.”
In other news, Supervisors Chairman Doug Sorensen says they have changed course from their initial plan to install a security door in the assessor’s office. “There were some complaints that we had done that for their office and the Safety and Security Committee had discussed why we had done that instead of doing other offices.”
The cost of a security door has gone from $2,400 to $3,900. The county will look into adding more security cameras instead of a new door.
