Judge McKinney reported that the county received a bid of $240,000.00 for a state aid repair project for County Road 33.  He said the bid was 7% over estimated cost but the county has agreed to proceed and he believes the state will approve.  He also stated that the county has received a grant for $36,000.00 to replace three courthouse doors and to begin renovation of the "Old County Clerk" building just east of the courthouse. 

The Judge updated the court on the mitigation grant and efforts to secure insurance for damages to the courthouse phone and computer systems, caused by lighting.  He urged the justices to visit the county park and observe the work done by the UAM Heavy Equipment School.
