The Dallas County Board of Supervisors met in regular session on Tuesday.

The board continued their discussion about finding space for three separate entities, including the Emergency Medical Services Department, the Dallas County Auditor’s Office, and the Dallas County Attorney’s Office. Supervisor Chair Kim Chapman shared that the board has a couple spaces in mind being the 902 Court Building and the Wells Fargo Bank building in Adel, but said that a lot is dependent on the November General Election and if the bond on the criminal court building passes. He emphasizes that if it gets the green light to get built, that will provide more space for those entities.

During the conversation, comments were made by Sheriff Adam Infante, Auditor Todd Halbur, Health Department Director Suzanne Hegarty, and Attorney Matt Schultz about the required space they would need, as well as Farnsworth Group Architect Principal Kristofer Orth. After a lengthy discussion, Orth told the board he’ll come up with a proposed layout plan based on the comments from the other departments’ needs, to present at the next meeting.

The board tabled the architect master contract amendment that was related to the future space needs until next week’s meeting. The lone item on the agenda that was approved was to receive and file Bridget Carberry Montgomery to the Temporary Redistricting Commission Dallas County Democrat Central Committee selection. Supervisor Julia Helm was not present at the meeting.
