The Ellis County Commission will continue with a meeting-heavy July at its regular session at 5 p.m. Monday at the Ellis County Courthouse.

On the agenda is consideration of where to temporarily house the courthouse and Law Enforcement Center staff during upcoming renovations at the courthouse and jail.

The commission is considering both space at the Hadley Center and the former PATH Lab, located on 13th Street.

Both buildings would need to be renovated to house the staff even temporarily. That expense, which does not include networking and telephones, has been included in the plans for the courthouse/LEC renovation.

Kansas Department of Transportation Secretary Mike King also is scheduled to appear at the meeting, part of a two-day trip to Hays.

King is scheduled to tour several facilities while in town, including the new Doonan truck dealership, Goodman Energy and Hess Services.

The commission also will meet as the Public Building Commission at 4:55 p.m. Monday prior to the regular meeting.
