Finance Committee approves up to $40,000 for Vernon Manor generator switch; courthouse chiller options discussed

Building Supervisor Phil Hewitt asked the committee to authorize repairs and replacements for mechanical equipment. Hewitt said repairing a generator transfer switch at Vernon Manor would cost about $29,000 and that the county had a $110,000 balance in 2016 Infrastructure Funds available for Vernon Manor needs. Committee member Rod Ofte moved to approve up to $40,000 from the 2016 Infrastructure Funds to pay for the transfer switch; the motion was seconded by Will Beitlich and carried by all present.
