The county has, among others, a huge messaging problem.

As I understand it (somebody correct me if I'm wrong), the county is not really talking about building a new courthouse (in the ordinary definition of the word).

When the ordinary person hears "courthouse", I think they think of what my dictionary says is the "second"definition of the word - a building containing the administrative offices of a county.
But the county really intends to construct a building under the dictionary's "first" definition of "courthouse" - a building in which a judicial court is held.

Is the county not talking about constructing a building solely for the circuit courts - to replace the now old, cramped and non-functional court facilities currently located on the NW quarter of the county headquarters block?

Surely they are not planning on relocating the administrative offices of the county from the Lane County Public Service Building that occupies the east half of the county headquarters block.
