Sheriff Ken McClure advised the Board of needed repairs to the communications tower located near the courthouse. Several lights on the tower are burned out and the paint is faded below FAA regulations.

The Board directed the sheriff to investigate the cost of removing the section and to look into the cost of replacing bulbs and painting.
