No plans have been chosen so far, but Commissioners hope a plan in place by fall and an implementation day on January 1, 2013.
Commissioners also gave authority for Emergency Preparedness Director Wes Lanter to hire an IT Specialist and Adminstrative Assistant for his Effingham office.
Commissioner Schuele describes what is expected of the position.

The position is posted on the Atchison County web site and is listed as opened until filled; however, Schuele says Lanter reported to them that he would like to fill it within the next two weeks.
Commissioners also approved the bid for Hundley Construction to begin the installation of an ADA elevator in the courthouse and a women’s restroom.
Schuele expects the project to begin in the late spring and conclude by the end of the year.
