The Jackson County Courthouse
The fire alarm system at the Jackson County Courthouse will be upgraded.
On the recommendation of head courthouse custodian Teresa Scheidegger, the county commission this week accepted a bid from Simplex Grinnell of Topeka for a new control panel and monitoring system for $4,200.
The fee to monitor the system will be $350 annually.
In other business, the commission approved the purchase of a Caterpillar 950H loader from Foley Equipment of Topeka for the county road and bridge department in the amount of $155,000.
Funding will come from the department’s special machinery fund.
The county will keep the loader they currently have.
