Johnnie Lohrum reported to the Commissioners on work that had been done in the county offices. Also questioned what kind of a plan is in effect if we had bad weather and the courthouse is down for several days. Commissioner Folz advised that a plan is in effect by the Emergency Management and they could use a generator to heat the courthouse. Lohrum will also check heating and cooling on what needs to be done if we have bad weather. Commissioners gave permission to Lohrum to take the old desk chairs to recycling.
Ken Hylton, Veteran Office presented an application to the Commissioners for their signature, a handicap sign for the veteran van.

Commissioners advised that the payroll will be based on a daily pay for the year of 2008.
Earline Copeland, Treasurer advised the Commissioners that she will need an Ordinance for the rebate to go the home owners in the county that have a homestead exemption.

Commissioners advised Copeland to leave the Gaming Fund in Friendship State Bank due to the same interest rate.
Shawna Bushhorn, Assessor advised the Commissioners that she is out of room for storage and wondered if she could put the files in the hall of the courthouse.
