Proposals for a new generator for the county were discussed at yesterday's Nowata County Commission meeting. The board looked at two proposals that were much higher than expected.  The county has already purchased a new generator but needs a licensed electrician to hook it up. Chairman Burke Larue says there could be more expenses.

According to the board, an automatic ignition system could be the reason the proposals were so high. The submissions were not itemized because they were not official bids. The commissioners will reach out to the companies for more details.
