The Christian County Board met at 6:30 Tuesday evening and what started off as a normal board meeting quickly got interesting, as the discussion over a part-time maintenance project coordinator came to the forefront. Chairwoman Becky Edwards says that while this position would probably not include any laborer work it was still important and a necessity for the county.

After much debate and discussion, an amendment was pushed through to make the position a 20 hour a week position, with up to a $22/hr salary. This position would be a 6-month position when after that time it would be reevaluated. This temporary position would not offer a pension or other benefits. This all comes from an overworked staff who is busy trying to make repairs for the courthouse. Board member Dale Livingston spoke about some of the issues affecting the courthouse. 

Becky Edwards also gave her thoughts on the courthouse repairs.

Bruce Engeling and Mike Crews were recognized for their hard work dedicated to the county. Engeling did not make the meeting, but Chief Crews was there and thanked the members of the board. Both men received a standing ovation.
