Courthouse
Closed to Public
March 25 2020

Not sure
when the Courthouse went into lock down for the public but, on
Wed morning, the doors were locked and it took someone
from within to let you in. Just two days before, they had
Black Shirt Hallie Morris in the vestibule minus the
thermometer.

On Wednesday
March 25 2020, at 10am sharp, the CCC Meeting got
underway with around 8 in the peanut gallery. If you leave out
govt officials, there was one member of the public present.
There was really just two items on the meeting agenda.
First up was a motion to approve bids for a
school violence prevention program. On hand for that decision
was School Superintendent Joe Paxton and some old white headed
guy. Can't quite remember that name from yesteryear.
Sounded like, the $277K will cover the cost of three
projects. Stuff like a better access control for buildings,
camera upgrades, and some kind of intercom systems were
mentioned.
Required local matches for the grant $$$ will come from
the Pentagon and not the County Commission. Although not
the cheapest bidders, winning companies are Camel
Technologies, Alpha ($51,115), and maybe AFT or ACP ( $42,453)
. Sorry we didn't write quick enough for more details

The Health
Dept's Angela Brown was on hand to provide an update on the
Corona Virus bug.
If you have been to New York recently
, anybody, everybody, you are suppose to self quarantine
for 14 days and let the Clay Health Dept know.
As for the much needed personnel protection
equipment, Ms Brown stated that they have some just not
enough. As for receiving requested and needed equipment, at
best, there has been a slow response. Added, the amount
requested, that ain't happening readers.
Also, 5 local yocals have been tested. As far as
test results, returns are very slow coming. Snail's pace comes
to mind.
Brown advised on staying away from emergency
rooms unless the temperature (100.4) has lasted for 3 or more
days
Commissioner King said something of note. The
Franster reported, having a temperature may NOT be the first
sign of the bug.
The total meeting lasted just 16 minutes.
