The Platte County Administrative Court has decided to reduce some of the rent it pays for space to save money to help pay for the eventual annex in the long range plans. At Thursday’s meeting the court members agreed to terminate a lease for rental in the Witt and Boggs building as soon as possible. The building presently houses the University of Missouri Extension offices and county voting machines are stored there.
