In unfinished business, the magistrates approved the renewal of a maintenance agreement with Tremcare. This agreement had been previously tabled at the past two fiscal court meetings due to concerns raised by District 3 Magistrate Brent Stallins regarding unmet maintenance needs in the past.
District 4 Magistrate Jeff Simms explained that he and Stallins recently had a meeting with John Stevens with Tremcare to discuss the coverage of the maintenance agreement, the associated cost and the future needs of the courthouse.
