The Brown County Board of Commissioners approved a change order for the county building restoration project that results in a net increase of $48,291 and brings the updated contract total to $852,008.05.

Judy Dash, building superintendent, and an assistant presented the change‑order information. The change order reflects an earlier $113,000 addition offset in part by returned or deleted equipment and a credit of about $65,000, leaving the net change of $48,291 that the commission approved. Commissioners noted there remain open questions about the long‑term plan for an attached garage; staff said the garage condition is stable for now but that further discussion and engineering recommendations will follow.
