Comments

The garage is used by the county clerk, circuit clerk, assessor, and sheriff. The garage is located across the street from the court house.

the building perimeter 37 feet x 8 feet x 7 inches tall. wooden shelving, broken window (with records stored adjacent to and showing weather damage from) concrete floor, lawn mowers and weed whackers stored in the same area( after gas tank filled, pervasive aroma of gasoline)

boxes, volumes stacked, access to many blocked, places where records have tumbled over and are in disarray

records include land books, tax receipts, voters registration, return request mail receipts, cancelled checks. regularly used by staff.

also contains holiday decorations, ballot boxes, video slot machines confiscated by state police, computers and other equipment.

 

The circuit clerk needs storage space. Circuit records are being piled on top of filing cabinets that line the room. Evidence is being laid on top of public records. Evidence is even stored on the floor in the circuit office.

 

The Sheriff office is in need of storage space. Non standard cardboard boxes are stacked everywhere in the office. Stacks of boxes reach the ceiling in the sheriff office. Christmas decorations are also being stored with the sheriff office records. sheriff cecil, president of sheriff has stated that a judicial annex was in need for security reasons. cecil said the cameras in the record room did not go into the overall security system. glass breaking monitors are needed in all the windows and some panic bars. sheriff cecil said that there are two court rooms. the smaller court room is county commisioner and family law. the large court room is reserved for circuit and it is not large enough.
