She doesn't feel the citizens should have to park at the bottom of the hill and walk to the courthouse to conduct business that should be considered public service. She further stated she was against doing away with the jury box in Courtroom #3. County Manager John Crumpton stated the recommended parking plan would cost approximately $32,000 and an additional $5,000 for the security arm and gate.
