Lexa Speidel, Benton County Recorder discussed an idea she had to have window access to her office on the NE side of the courthouse. It is along the gravel path. She would install a doorbell/buzzer system to notify her when someone was there. The County Attorney brought up courthouse security measures in place and questioned how allowing folks up to the window would be for liability issues. Speidel commented that each elected official or department head was supposed to be in charge of their customers and way of doing things. Supervisor Primmer reminded her that her office is within a county owned building. No action was taken.
