The Greene County Supervisors met Thursday in special session.

During open forum, County Attorney Thomas Laehn addressed the Board about the 28E agreement with the City of Jefferson for the new law enforcement center. He said the Jefferson City Council had tabled their decision about the agreement this past Tuesday,  but no reason was given. Laehn mentioned the final version of the agreement was reviewed by the county and city with no objections prior to the Council meeting. He pointed out that the county should consider possibly terminating the current 1972 agreement or have contingencies in place, because the county was going to move forward on the transition to the new law enforcement center at the former Midland Power Cooperative building in Jefferson.

Supervisor Chair John Muir noted his disappointment because he thought the county helped the city and tried to get the police department to be at full strength and that this move to a new facility would keep everyone together. No action was taken following the discussion.

The Board then approved an addendum to the Midland Power installment purchase agreement. Laehn said the one change was that Midland Power was going to pay the upfront costs of the transition, with legal fees, publication, title and opinion of the property, while the county would agree to increasing the interest rate of payments for the first year to three-percent and the rest of the remaining years of the life of the contract at 2.2-percent.
