Supervisors Discuss Old Jail, TransCanada And Road Boss

The former Antelope County Jail will be sold during a public auction. 

The Antelope County supervisors decided on Tuesday to move forward with a public auction to sell the former Antelope County Jail. A realtor has made an offer to sell the property with a six percent commission. They will be meeting with the board next month to decide when the auction will be held.

Representatives from TransCanda also addressed the board about their filing of an application with the Public Service Commission. They presented to board members the maps of their proposed pipeline routes and answered questions about the project.

The board also met with the County Attorney Joe Abler to discuss how to conduct interviews for the hiring of a road boss. The board was advised that they can only go into closed session to discuss personnel matters or things of a sensitive nature that could be damaging to a persons reputation.

If the board goes into closed session to discuss applicants, they cannot take any action or discuss anything besides the reason they stated for going into closed session. Interviews for the road boss position will be scheduled for their next meeting on Nov. 3.
