Saline County officials have approved a plan to let voters decide the fate of a $46.5 million bond issue to improve the county jail.

Saline County commissioners voted 2-1 Wednesday to put the bond issue on the November ballot.

The renovations would also include combining the county jail with court services and the county attorney's office, as well as a $3 million parking garage about a block away.
