(Red Oak, Iowa) – The Board of Supervisors in Montgomery County met this (Tuesday) morning. During their session, the Board heard a regularly scheduled report from County Engineer Karen Albert.

The Supervisors in Montgomery County also received an update from Courthouse Maintenance Director, Dan Wright. Prior to hearing from Wright, the Board discussed some issues with the courthouse generator that occurred during a weekly test.

In his report, Dan Wright addressed the issue that resulted in a power outage. He said the issue was with an automatic switchover device that’s supposed to kick-in when primary power is restored.

Wright said he doesn’t think the switch will need to be replaced.

In other business, the Board set the first of FY24-25 Budget Workshops for Tuesday, January 9th (at the end of their regular meeting) & January 10th at 9-a.m., in order to give the Department Heads more time to get their budget projections together.

The Board also opened sealed bids related to forfeited property for the Sheriff’s Department.
