Monday During the meeting of the Osage County Board of County Commissioners, members from the Courthouse Review Committee brought forward several options for maximizing use of the current Courthouse but also consolidating County Offices.

Mike Tolson, Co-Chair of the Review Committee, brought before the Commissioners several options for utilizing the existing Courthouse and either building a new administrative building, or utilizing existing County property such as the Kennedy building or the Whiting building.

Architects in Partnership or AIP has been working closely with the Review Committee in designing several options, and so far has done all work at no cost. Now, the Review Committee and AIP have come to a point where, to continue with planning, they would need County funding. AIP is asking for a nominal fee “not to exceed” $40,000; in return AIP will perform the space programming analysis and develop a cost plan for each of the three “new” options.

The Commissioners agreed to approve the funds with the expectations that AIP will focus their designs to the needs of the County, requirements for County Offices and employees, and taking into consideration the safety of the public while conducting business at the Courthouse. The Commissioners approved to fund AIP for services not to exceed $40,000 through the County's General Fund.



Option One would entail building a new Administrative Building and remodeling the existing Courthouse. Keeping Court and District Attorney Functions in the Courthouse and moving the Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer, E911, Emergency Management, and other County offices to the new building.
​



























Option Two would entail remodeling the Kennedy Building and remodeling the existing Courthouse. Keeping Court and District Attorney Functions in the Courthouse and moving the Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer, E911, Emergency Management, and other County offices to the Kennedy building.


Option Three would entail remodeling the Whiting Building and remodeling the existing Courthouse. Keeping Court and District Attorney Functions in the Courthouse and moving the Clerk, Assessor, Treasurer, E911, Emergency Management, and other County offices to the Whiting building.
