“We are raising proceeds for the youngsters’ Blue and Gold Project coming up where some of them will transfer to the Boy Scouts and to obtain their rank within the Cub Scouts. Some of the extra proceeds will go toward camping gear and things of that nature,” he said.

The breakfast served up pancakes, eggs, bacon, and sausage with juice and coffee. Participates also had a chance to have their pictures made with the Easter Bunny.

All proceeds will benefit the DeKalb County Cub Scout Pack #347

Members to the DeKalb County Equalization Board were appointed by the County Commission Monday night.

The commission appointed Russell Watson, Jimmy Midgett, Doyle Evans, Joel Hooker, and Jim Davies to serve on the five member board and Jimmy Goad will be an alternate.

Last year the commission adopted a resolution requiring members of the equalization board to attend four hours of training before they begin meeting in June. The training is required by state law. Members who do not complete the training cannot serve.

County equalization boards across the state are to meet each year on June 1 (or the next business day if the 1st falls on Saturday or Sunday). The county board is authorized by law to receive and hear appeals of current year property tax assessments as fixed by the county assessor of property. Generally an assessment must be appealed to the county board of equalization to preserve the taxpayer’s right to further appeal.

If you are frequent visitor to the courthouse for business with the Circuit Court Clerk, Chamber of Commerce or the Recovery Court Office you will have to reorient yourself within a few months.

During Monday night’s regular monthly meeting, the county commission adopted a recommendation by the county owned building committee to rearrange some offices in the courthouse to create more space.

Under the plan, the Circuit Court Clerk’s office, currently on the third floor of the courthouse, will eventually move to the second floor where the Chamber of Commerce Office is now located. The Chamber office will be moving to another location which has not yet been determined.

Meanwhile the Recovery Court Office, currently on the second floor, will relocate to the Circuit Court Clerk’s office on the third floor.

The Clerk and Master’s Office on the third floor will remain where it is but more storage space will be made available. The plan calls for all of the Circuit Court Clerk archives and documents in the courthouse to be moved to a room in the middle portion of the second floor while most of the storage space now used by the Circuit Court Clerk on the third floor will be turned over to the Clerk and Master for the same purpose.

The Circuit Court Clerk’s personal office across the hall from the main office where her deputy clerks work will become an office for public use related to court activities.

“We will have to provide a desk and a computer if they want to come up and access public information. That is the law,” said County Mayor Tim Stribling.

The County Mayor’s Office will remain where it is located on the second floor of the courthouse. The Tennessee Highway Patrol also has an office there.

The offices of the DeKalb County Election Commission, the Veterans service officer, and the judicial commissioners will remain in their present locations on the first floor.

No timetable has yet been established as to when the moves will occur.
