Marshall County Commissioners Approves Rooftop Unit for Jail

The Marshall County Commissioners took action Monday, August 19 to approve a proposal for a rooftop unit at the Marshall County Jail.

Jail Maintenance Director John Greer presented two proposals for the purchase of the last of the 10 rooftop units to be replaced at the jail.  He said the lowest proposal came from H&G Services in the amount of $144,800.  

The purchase would be in the sheriff’s budget for 2025. Greer said even though the rooftop unit will likely be delivered by the end of the year, the county will not billed until January so an additional appropriation will not be needed.  

The commissioners unanimously approved the bid from H&G Services.  

Greer added that the surge suppressor was replaced at the jail and a new sidewalk is being installed at the facility in front of the facility.
