The Grayson County Fiscal Court approved the installation of a new roof on the old judicial center on White Oak Street Tuesday morning.

A Hartford company was named the winning bidder, in the amount of $38,567, for the roof work on the old judicial center.

Officials approved the purchase during a special-called fiscal court meeting on November 24.

Commercial Specialty Coating will replace the roof, provide a 12-year warranty on materials, and a five-year warranty on labor.

The business asked for $10,000 upon acceptance of bid and the balance to be due when the job was finished.

According to Grayson County Judge-Executive Gary Logsdon, the old roof was in dire need of repairs, and was causing roof leaks.

Other items covered:

• Roger Williams Contracting will be repairing two damaged brick areas on opposing ends of the judicial center. The contract will be for $2,650.

Fifty percent of the money is due to start the project, and the balance is due on completion of the repairs.

Money for the purchase will come out the county's general fund.

• The county plans to announce, during a special-called meeting, if they will commit dollars to a bicentennial filmmaking project about Grayson County's history.

Sam Koltinsky approached the board about dedicating to the purchase of a 60-minute film, that will cost Koltinsky $60,000 to make.

Koltinsky felt the project would change the overall appeal and moral of the county.

"All I am asking is for a commitment of funds," Koltinsky explained. "You can use the film to draw tourists in. In the end, the DVD project will provide a testimony and legacy for the county. The one-hour segment will take a look at Grayson County, tell the history and look at beginnings until today."

Total dollars needed to start the filming is $4,500.

The Grayson County Historical Society will issue payment of funds to Koltinsky for the film.
