The Christian County Board met on Tuesday evening to announce appointments, discuss ordinances, old business and new business. Greg Nimmo, ChrisMont EMA Director, gave a COVID-19 update. 

Nimmo says that despite all that, in Christian County, there have still been over 4650 doses given out and climbing every day. Right now, according to Nimmo, 34% of 65 years of age and older have received the vaccine. A public transportation ordinance was discussed with Nathan Nichols, a mobility manager, presenting the need for it. 

The motion was approved. Dale Livingston talked about some of the highway business including courthouse updates.

A vote was taken on a better controlled thermostat for the courthouse. It needs to be fixed and would cost over $5000. Matt Wells explained why it was important.

There were concerns over different temperatures in certain offices and Wells believes that this should fix and better control it. The board examined energy costs as there was still quite a lot of discussion over this. The motion passed. Jail tours were discussed. The hope is that the public will be able to see why the tax is necessary to fix the facilities. Christian County also voted in favor of adopting a resolution to urge Governor JB Pritzker, to veto House Bill 3563, which is the police reform bill. 

The next county board meeting is set for March 16th.
