 The Beltrami County Courthouse is looking to get over $180,000 for a new audio and video system. During the county board meeting this week, the commissioners heard about the state of the current equipment that was installed 11 years ago. Most of the money needed from the county's capital improvement fund would be used for the audio and video equipment and installation. Because the equipment would generate lots of heat, the courthouse would also need a new AC system as well. Constantly taking this or constantly taking that to get it fixed. Here we are 11 years later and I'm saying, hey, we've got to quit nickel diming this thing and get it up for once so we don't have to look at it again. The board of commissioners decided to not take any action at this time.
