Brown County Courthouse

(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission is taking steps to enhance security at the county courthouse.

The Commission voted Thursday to advertise for a part-time security officer.

Commissioners say they plan to hire about three part-time officers so the courthouse can be manned during regular business hours.

The Commission also plans to add a metal detector and require entry through the north doors only.

In other action, the Commission approved a resolution to vacate a portion of 285th Road between Grasshopper and Goldfinch Roads following a hearing attended by two county residents.

A group from Hamlin township approached the Commission in October requesting that the half-mile stretch of road be vacated to allow surrounding landowners to build an irrigation dam across the road.

The Commission also approved pay raises for county Noxious Weed Director George Bruning and county Solid Waste Supervisor Charlie Brockhoff to $18 an hour, effective January 1st.
