McKenzie County Discusses Building Plans

McKenzie County commissioners heard about proposed design plans on June 7 for when the current sheriff department is vacated.

Heidi Brenna of ICON Architectural Group said plans are for the area to have holding cells, moving court room two and for more storage space.Because construction of the new law enforcement center is scheduled to be completed next spring, commissioners needed to put in their budget now costs for design fees.

Commissioner Douglas Nordby explained that positives are having the two courtrooms on the same level and not having judges go through the public on the way to their courtrooms. There will also be space for a small secondary dispatch station and storage.

“It’s not like we haven’t discussed this before,” Commission Chair Richard Cayko said. “We need to make a decision and stick with it.”

Commissioners approved a motion to pay the ICON Architectural Group for design fees concerning the vacated sheriff’s department.
