The Grundy County Commission met Tuesday, discussing the possible need for a new heat pump at the Law Enforcement Center and giving permission for a display on the courthouse lawn.
The commission learned there is a need to repair or replace a heat pump at the LEC. The estimate for repairing the unit is around $4,000 while the cost of a new one is estimated to be in excess of $10,000. However, the cost of the coolant used in the current unit is $65 per pound, while the cost for the coolant that would be used in a new unit would be significantly less, most likely in the $20-dollar range. The commission will seek bids for a new unit so a decision can be made using actual figures.
In other business, the commission agreed to allow a pinwheel display to be placed on the courthouse lawn in observance of Child Abuse Awareness Month in April. The commission will also sign a proclamation designating April as Child Abuse Awareness Month in Grundy County.
