The full story

Commissioners voted to begin the process to replace the Murray emergency radio tower that was destroyed in last Sunday’s storm, authorizing staff to start procurement so the county can order a new tower and equipment as soon as insurance and approvals are in place. JD reported an adjuster visit is scheduled and said vendor lead times are "four to eight weeks" after ordering; the vendor estimate discussed included approximately $36,195 for the tower and about $13,890 for equipment.
