Lincoln County commissioners this week discussed briefly the idea of establishing a committee regarding a remodel of the courthouse and expansion of the jail.
Since it was a discussion item only on the agenda, they couldn’t take any action but indicated they would look at forming a committee.
District 3 Commissioner Lee Doolen, who is also chairman of the commission, explained after the meeting, “We’re going to look and see what we can do to help the Sheriff’s Office which needs more space.”

They also adopted a resolution to utilize Use Tax Funds to create a new account to pay Hill for grant research, application and management.
