Clinton County OKs Annex for Early Voting; Approves $1.20M Envoy Payout to Finish Project

The Clinton County Board of Commissioners voted Feb. 17 to use the annex conference room as an early voting location and to post vote-center locations and schedules in public areas at the courthouse and annex. The motion to approve the annex as a vote center carried 3-0.

Clerk Stephanie Harshbarger asked the board to "have early voting here at the annex, in the conference room on the 2nd Floor," and to allow staff to post the vote-center locations, dates and times in visible spots, including the elevator and a second entry door. Commissioners agreed the request was straightforward and moved to approve.

At the same meeting the board approved payout number 21 to Envoy for the annex project for $1,196,562.42, leaving an estimated remaining balance of $45,613 to close out the contract. A motion to approve the payout passed 3-0.

The approvals were routine, part of the board’s continuing management of the annex project and election preparations. The board’s next meeting is scheduled for March 3.
