(03/06/2010)

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.
