The Ellis County Commission held its final regular meeting of 2015 Monday night, in what is expected to be the final county commission meeting at the courthouse.

With construction nearing an end at the new Administrative Center at 718 Main, the commission will begin holding its meetings in the new commission chambers in the basement.

Commissioner Dean Haselhorst said there was a lot of history in the courthouse and that it is “kind of sad” to think there will not be any more commission meetings held at the courthouse.

Ellis County Administrator Greg Sund said the county expects construction to be complete at the Administrative Center on Dec. 23.

Office staff will moving equipment at the end of the month, and administrative offices will be closed from Dec. 1 through Jan. 5.

The commission’s first meeting in the new chambers is scheduled for Jan. 5.
