The Sherman County Board of Commissioners convened on December 31, 2024, to address several key issues, including tax roll corrections and proposed renovations to the Wall Lock Building.

The meeting began with a motion to approve tax roll corrections, which was unanimously passed by the commissioners. Following this, discussions shifted to the Wall Lock Building, where officials outlined plans for necessary updates to improve functionality and safety for staff.

The proposed renovations include converting an existing inventory room into a shift captain's room, complete with a bathroom and shower facilities. This change aims to enhance the working conditions for emergency personnel, who currently lack adequate restroom access. The plan also involves relocating the washer and dryer to the ambulance bay to prevent contamination from soiled items being brought into living quarters.

Commissioners were informed that only one bid had been received for the remodeling project, from a local contractor, A Squared Construction, due to challenges in obtaining multiple quotes before the year-end deadline. The bid, amounting to $23,600, was discussed and subsequently approved by the board, allowing the project to proceed with available funds from the courthouse and Wall Lock Building budget.

In addition to the renovations, the meeting included a brief executive session to discuss personnel matters, followed by the approval of agreements for employee extensions related to funding initiatives.

The board's decisions reflect a commitment to improving facilities for emergency services in Sherman County, ensuring that staff have the necessary resources to perform their duties effectively. The meeting concluded with well wishes for the New Year among the commissioners.
