A Law Enforcement Center Remodel Committee was established by the Finney County Commission at their regular meeting Monday. Gerry Schultz, County commissioner, said the purpose for the committee’s creation is to assist in the planning and construction phase of the LEC’s remodel and to assist in communication with the effected parties including the city of Garden City, Garden City Police Department, Finney County and the Sheriff’s Office, and to ensure participation by the County commission in important decisions relating to the planning and construction. Commissioner Duane Drees will serve as the chair of the committee which will be composed of Finney County Administrator Robert Reece, Assistant County Administrator and Finance Director Jenny Hamil, Finney County Sheriff Mike Warren, a county citizen designee of the Sheriff, Garden City Manager Matt Allen and Garden City Police Department Captain E.J. Ochs. Schultz said the committee wasn’t created due to a lack of confidence or ability to complete the project but “rather to improve communication and collaboration.” Drees said to him the project is “a very multi-million-dollar project” and it behooves the county to have representation and communication with all parties.
