County commissioners keep burn ban intact

The Brown County Commissioners met Monday morning at the Brown County Courthouse, where the decision was made to keep the burn ban within the county intact.

Among the other highlights of the meeting, County Commissioners approved entering a consulting contract with Goldsmith Solutions regarding an IT opening. With no IT person currently on staff in the courthouse, Goldsmith Solutions will be brought in to help conduct interviews in an effort to fill that role.

35th District Court Judge Mike Smith spoke in favor of the issue, and stated interviews had been set up for Friday, so approval at Monday’s meeting would be beneficial. Smith stated Goldsmith Solutions also serves Mills County, where he presides as well.

The cost of the services should not exceed $7,800.

Commissioners also held a workshop regarding the 2022-23 Brown County budget.
