BOCC approves elevator battery replacement and vandal‑resistant buttons for courthouse

Board of County Commissioners of Kay County, Oklahoma · April 20, 2026

Summary

After receiving an inspection recommendation from Allied Elevator Services, the Kay County commissioners voted unanimously to install a new battery to restore backup functions and replace the elevator car buttons with vandal‑resistant versions.

Commissioner Jason Shanks reported Allied Elevator Services’ inspection and relayed the company’s recommendation to replace the elevator control buttons and the backup battery. Shanks said he did not have sufficient technical knowledge to fully assess the recommendation, so he presented the company's advice to the board.

The BOCC approved the proposal to install a new battery to restore battery backup functions and replace all car buttons with vandal‑resistant buttons (motion by Shanks, seconded by Kreger). The motion passed unanimously. Facilities staff will coordinate procurement and installation with Allied Elevator Services.
