In other news, the commission:

•Voted to allow Lee Helms Associates to handle the construction part of the three storm shelters the county has funded by GERF (Governor’s Emergency Relief Fund). Caton told commissioners he thought Helms should handle the construction part due to Helms’ work on the shelters.

“Without his help we would not have the GERF funding,” Caton said. “We have seven more of these shelters that he will work with to get funding for but I think he needs to be the one handling the work.”

Commissioners Welch, Moore, Mims, Hayes, Caton voted in favor. Headley opposed the motion.
