The Board heard from Butch Lawson, Construction Division Operations Manager, regarding the ARPA grant and/or ARPA projects for Stephens County. Lawson reported that there was a good turnout for the pre-bid meeting held on Thursday for the second floor courthouse remodel project. Lawson expects a slower week on the Fairgrounds project due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Chairman Morgan signed the Certificate of Substantial Completion for the Courthouse Annex presented to the Board by ARC Architecture, LLC.
The Board discussed the Refinery Property owned by Stephens County. Commissioner Morgan would like Phillips 66 and DEQ to join the Board for further discussions, but Morgan shared with fellow Board members some of items he had learned from discussions with Tom Wynn from Phillips 66. The ballpark area will need to be separated. There will be no restrictions on its recreational use. There will be deed restrictions on the remainder of the property. The containment area will forever be in the county’s possession. Commissioner Churchman expressed concern with the county’s liability once retaining ownership. Churchman would like the liability addressed in writing. Morgan thinks the 45 acres that Phillips 66 bought from Kenny Miller will need to be addressed.
