Allen County commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday morning to pay materials costs — $14,878.90 — to place a new roof on the Gas school.
Mayor Darrel Catron and other Gas representatives had sought assistance from the county a week ago. They are in the process of refitting the old school for city offices, library, museum and community center.
Commissioner Jim Talkington had some questions — about the source of county funding (taxes) and what was done to help other cities — that he framed as due diligence, before Commissioner Jerry Daniels moved in favor of the Gas request.
Commissioners also heard a report from Iola Administrator Carl Slaugh and others about the state of ambulance service, both finances and physical bearing, all of which was reported in Tuesday’s Register following Monday evening’s city council meeting.
Commissioners concluded their session with a review of health insurance provided to employees.
