County staff: courthouse sidewalk to be replaced over holiday weekend after drainage issues

Facilities staff updated the board that the front entrance sidewalk, replaced a few years ago, is retaining water "like a divot" and will be removed and redone over the holiday weekend. Staff said they had notified the board of elections that on the Monday following the work voters will need to use the bullpen door for voting and that the county will provide signage.

Commissioners acknowledged the need to correct the drainage issue because water is pooling near an exterior entrance and has caused intermittent flooding in the Treasurer's Office. The board said staff should coordinate traffic and signage for the election day using an alternate door and proceed with repairs.

Why it matters: The sidewalk repair affects public access to the courthouse on at least one election day and addresses a recurring drainage issue near an exterior entrance.
