Commission approves $6,800 quote to replace detention center door operator

The Ward County Commission voted to approve a quote from Midwest Glass and Door in the amount of $6,800 to replace the detention center door operator. The item was first removed from the table by a motion from Comm. Schuler, seconded by Comm. Rostad, and the board then approved the vendor quote on a subsequent motion moved by Comm. Rostad and seconded by Comm. Schuler; roll call was unanimous.

The approval authorizes the county to proceed with the vendor's work; the record does not specify the funding source or expected completion date. Commissioners present for the vote were Rostad, Merritt, Olson (by phone), Schuler and Chairman Fjeldahl. The meeting minutes record the vendor name and dollar amount as the basis for contracting authority.
