Miscellaneous:
Mr. Dillon noted his concern that the closure of the Jefferson Street entrance/exit and transition to an exit only was announced with a one-week notice via email, and with no prior committee discussion. He questioned both logistics and the reasoning for the decision to transition the Jefferson Street doors as exit only, as opposed to the Main Street door. Mr. Dillon also asked if the Sheriff's Office has legal authority to make a decision as to entrances and exits to the courthouse. Mr. Dillon noted that the cost of a turnstile for the Jefferson Street exit is estimated at $30,000.00. He stressed the importance of a broader and more thorough discussion of the closure.
