(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Montgomery County Board of Supervisors, this (Tuesday) morning, passed a resolution accepting a bid for a new pipe culvert on G Avenue. Barry Byers, Assistant to County Engineer Karen Albert provided the Board with a report on Secondary Roads Department maintenance and activities.

Representatives with TKE Elevator were on-hand during the meeting to discuss the Montgomery County Courthouse elevator repair/replacement project options that are available. It was estimated a complete “turn-key” elevator could be in-place and ready to go in about four-to-five weeks at the most, once the Board approves the plan.

The current elevator was installed in 1984. Replacement parts -especially the technology needed to operate the elevator – are either impossible to find or not available. The Board wants to be pro-active in keeping the elevator operational. No decision was made on the project at this time.
