The Junction City Commissioners saw a different set up Tuesday night when they arrived for one of their last Commission meetings at the Municipal building.

The Commission’s former U-shaped desk has been moved to the new Commission Chamber in the new Municipal Court building across the street. In place of the former desk were four folding tables with blue table cloths and a desk for the commissioners and city staff to sit around.

The new chamber is expected to be completed sometime in October and Commissioner Pat Landes can’t wait,”It’s kind of like ‘Dad are we there yet? Are we there yet?’ And we’re getting closer, we know something’s going to happen soon.”

Mayor Mick McCallister is excited for the new chamber as well and said that it will offer a better experience not just for those that attend the meetings in person but the ones who watch it on TV as well.

“I’ve had a lot of complaints, have had a lot of comments that folks can’t see who’s talking or they can’t quite hear what’s going on. So the audience, the taxpayers that are out watching our Commission meetings, once we get moved over there, the pictures will be more clearer, the audio will be better, so I’m looking forward to that. It’s going to help out in the long run, ” said McCallister.

The new chamber is expected to be about three to four times larger than the current chamber, to better accommodate some of the larger crowds that do at times attend the Commission meetings.
