Fergus County to replace courthouse elevator starting July 7, service interruption expected
Summary
Fergus County announced a courthouse elevator replacement beginning July 7; the presiding speaker said the elevator will be out of service for "approximately 40 days," though another remark in the exchange suggested it might be "4 total days," creating a discrepancy the county should clarify.
During announcements at the June 11 Fergus County meeting, the presiding speaker said the courthouse elevator "will be replaced starting July 7" and that it "will be out of service for approximately 40 days." A follow-up question in the same exchange asked whether that meant 40 working days. The presiding speaker then said, "I think it's just 4 total days," reflecting conflicting statements about the expected duration of the outage.
The speaker said the replacement has been in planning for "a couple years" and that bids and procurement work had been underway; the schedule was chosen to minimize disruption. No further details—such as contractor name, accessibility accommodations while the elevator is out, or firm start/finish dates—were provided in the transcript.
County residents who rely on the elevator for accessibility should consult the clerk/recorder's office or the county website for official timing and interim accommodations once the county publishes final logistics.
