Construction contracts for fairground improvements signed by Commissioners

The Logan County Commissioners on Tuesday opened the single bid they received for construction of a Safe Room (tornado shelter) at the Central Services Building. They immediately referred it to Dennis Hunt, grant manager, and County Attorney Alan Samber for recommendation.

Later in the meeting, Hunt returned with the bid and suggested the commissioners table it for more negotiation with the grant provider. Hunt also said he wanted to contact FEMA and the Office of Emergency Management for their recommendations.

Dave Conley of the Logan County Lodging Tax Board presented requests for funding from a number of projects. Mega Music, who sponsors the High Plains Music Fest, requested $2,000 for advertising. Commissioner Debbie Zwirn questioned the approval of monies to a business. Conley said that in the past, any profit has been given to high school bands although he does not have any accounting of that.

The commissioners decided to table the request until a representative of Mega Music could be present to answer questions about the event.

The July 4 Heritage Festival request for $2,500 was approved and the Colorado Flatlanders request for $1,500 was also approved.

The commissioners approved $2,500 toward a Logan County Fair Board request. The board had asked for $5,000.

A agreement for construction of the pavilion with restrooms at the fairgrounds with Yost Construction was approved, as was an agreement with Concrete Specialties, Inc., for the construction of a four-inch sewer line for the pavilion/restroom.

In other business, the commissioners approved an agreement with Demolition Derby Racing Association for the promotion and production of the demolitionderby at the Logan County Fair.

Also approved was an agreement with Wattle and Daub Contractors for Phase Five of the Logan County Courthouse Restoration Project to be funded in part by State Historical Fund grant funds, not to exceed $979,727.

The next regular business meeting will be at 9 a.m. Tuesday, April 24, at the Logan County Courthouse meeting room.
