The commissioners approved the purchase of carpet tiles from Interface, Lagrange, Ga., for about $6,420. The price is about $2,500 less than a previous quote.<\/p>\n<p>Commissioner Alan Hall said the county looked for the greatest cost savings and are purchasing the tiles directly from the manufacturer.<\/p>\n<p>In the past year, renovations have been made in several offices.<\/p>\n<p>In personnel matters, William Briggs was transferred from the position of Assistant Processing Manager at the county recycling center to the Processing Manager position, effective March 19.<\/p>\n<p>The commissioners also acknowledged the hiring by Sheriff Lance Benedict of Briana Hollenbeck as a Deputy Sheriff, effective March 24.<\/p>\n<p>The termination of Shalane Jarnagin from the commissioners office was ratified, effective March 19 was ratified.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BY STACI WILSON The county commissioners are moving forward with plans to implement an energy savings project in the courthouse complex in Montrose.
