While the relocation to the former NEW building of the Ellis County Law Enforcement Center and the courts is temporary, the move to the new Ellis County Administration Center, 718 Main, is permanent for other offices.

County Administrator Greg Sund has suggested an idea to help residents become more familiar with the building and help the Hays Area Chamber of Commerce find a new location for its “Eggs and Issues” legislative series.

Sund will ask county commissioners during Monday night’s evening about providing the Administration Center’s basement meeting room for the annual spring forums with area state legislators.

“I had a discussion with HACC Director Tammy Wellbrock about holding the meetings in the new building’s meeting room. They sometimes have difficulty in finding locations. I’ll make sure the county commissioners have no objection,” he said.

The three or four Eggs and Issues breakfasts are held Saturday mornings so there’s “no conflict with county needs for that space,” according to Sund.

“I think it would be a good way to get the public into the building and get people familiar with it and what some of the services are in it.”

Most county administrative offices located in the courthouse will move to the new administrative center, leaving the courthouse as a law enforcement/judicial center.
