The county board isn’t taking any time off for Election Day.

The board will hold its regular meeting at 1 p.m. in the basement of the Government Center.

The board is scheduled to hear an update on demolition plans for the condemned grandstand of the Mower County Fairgrounds.

On October 27, a hazmat crew inspected the structure to look for hazardous materials, like asbestos, types of Fluorescent lights, lead paint and more.

The board previously voted to tear down the grandstand, which was deemed structurally unsafe for use. But the board isn’t yet sure how the structure will come down. A controlled burn with the Austin Fire Department is one option, but only if there are no hazardous materials in the structure.

“We’ve got to find out what we’ve got in there before making any decisions how to proceed,” Public Works Director Mike Hanson said at the Oct. 23 meeting.

County Coordinator Craig Oscarson said the board could also get an update on the cost to build a new grandstand structure at the fairgrounds.
