A number of election items will be reviewed for the off-year election. Hearings regarding tax problems are scheduled for Richard Morris and Harold "Dick" Ullum. Issues related to courthouse access and access improvements. The commission is looking to appoint a person to fill a vacancy on the Calhoun County Deputy Civil Service Board. A review will be made of a number of grant applications being submitted by the county. About two dozen other items, mostly routine are on the agenda.
