(KNZA)--The Brown County Commission has approved the purchase of a new heating and air conditioning system for the American Legion building in downtown Hiawatha, which is primarily used as a senior citizens center.
The Commission voted Tuesday to accept a bid from Edelmans Home Center in Sabetha for a Trane system for $7,537, with the funding to come from the Commissioner’s fund.
Legion Commander Steve Winter presented quotes from three companies ranging from $6,800 to $9,500.
The Commission agreed last week to pay for the entire cost of a new heating/AC system for the building since its primarily used by the county.
Winter said the current furnace is 40 years old and air conditioning unit is 25 years old.
In other business, County Treasurer Cheryl Lippold introduced new treasurer’s office employee Kayla Meisenheimer.
County Deputy Appraiser Teresa Clements presented the statistical compliance report from state Division of property Valuation to the Commission for their review. Clements reported that Brown County is 100 percent in compliance.
