Red Willow County courthouse maintenance supervisor Greg Holthus, foreground, left, and commissioners (from left) Steve Downer, Earl McNutt and Leigh Hoyt discuss county court office security concerns with County Judge Anne Paine (right) and Clerk Magistrate Kathy Jones Monday morning. One option is closing off the office's west door and installing a locking roller window in its place; another is building a counter between east and west pillars in the north lobby/hallway in front of the vault and retrofitting a security window above the counter. The second option would block public access to the vault. "We'll have Greg look at all the options," McNutt said during the commissioners' weekly meeting. (Connie Jo Discoe/McCook Daily Gazette)
