County to pick construction chief

Friday, May 11, 2012

McCOOK, Nebraska -- A day before voters will decide how the project will be financed, Red Willow County Commissioners will meet to select a construction manager for the new Law Enforcement Center.

Monday's agenda also includes a decision on whether the county will use the existing city police, fire and jail facilities temporarily for future jail services and respond with a letter of intent to City Manager Jeff Hancock.

The county board will also decide whether to remit payment of the balance of the Community Development Block Grant Program revolving loan fund to the Nebraska Department of Economic Development, and choose between COBECON and Northwestern Mutual for the County Employees' Health Insurance plan renewal.

The consent agenda includes appointing Dr. Melanie Jones-Wier to the Southwest Nebraska Public Health Department board of trustees, with a term to expire May 1, 2015.
