Regular Council Meeting September 28, 2015 Page 5 16. Receive update on sale of the old police building and the old health department building. Finance Director Gene Anderson informed the Council that the County was agreeable to the sale of the old Health Department building and that he had contacted Rene Bates Auctioneers about information necessary to auction the two pieces of property.
