The Daviess County Commissioners worked through a lengthy agenda at a regular session on Tuesday. They approved the appointments of Phil Jolliff and Tom Nugent to the County Advisory Plan Commission and Shelly Fuhs to the Visitors Bureau Board. Â
           In financial matters, the Commissioners agreed to transfer $4,600 from the Commissioners Building Fund to the Courthouse Maintenance Fund. The Commissioners also approved spending $14,300 for the renewal of a service agreement with Motorola to maintain the Sheriff Departments radio equipment. Â
       In other matters, the Commissioners agreed to advertise for a owners representative to supervise the construction of the Courthouse Annex project.  The Commissioners also heard a presentation from Michael Conway of Architura Corporation. Conway discussed the planned window replacement project at the Courthouse. The 90-year old steel frame windows need replaced, but, because of the Courthouse’s status on the National Register of Historic Buildings the replacement windows must replicate the original windows. Conway projected a cost of $822,000 for the project.  Â
Â
         The Commissioners also reluctantly agreed to pay a claim from their insurance company to meet the deductible for the insurance company’s work on a lawsuit where the plaintiff argued the unsafe state of traffic on a county road created an accident and they sued the County. However, the road in question was not a Daviess County Road. Despite the fact the County was no longer a party in the suit, the insurance company charged for its work on the matter.
