County staff say KONE to handle elevator communications change; secure-elevator staffing reimbursed

Bill Wilkin (speaker 5) told the committee that the elevator inspector requested communications equipment be relocated to the nearest machine room and that KONE (the elevator contractor) will perform the work for the county at no direct county cost. Wilkin said this affects multiple county buildings including the annex, juvenile justice center (JJC) and courthouse; he described progress on specific cars and said one elevator had mechanical problems that necessitated beginning work ahead of schedule but that reinspection was expected within the week.
