The Ellis County Commission will discuss possible changes to the EMS/Rural Fire Building, aimed at saving money, at the weekly meeting at 5 p.m. Monday at the Ellis County Courthouse.

Commissioners have been provided a list of potential changes to the design so they can bring the project within budget. According to the county commission packet, the architect presented the commission with a list of changes that will cut costs and also recommended changes if they choose to go with a metal building.

In his memo previewing the meeting County Administrator Greg Sund said once the commissioners agree on a direction, the project can get back on track.

In other action:

• The commission will consider endorsing an economic development tax exemption for Hays Fire & Rescue Sales and Services, LLC.
• Commissioners will get a monthly report from the Ellis County Extension office.
• The commission will hold an executive session with County Counselor Bill Jeter.
