The Montgomery County Commissioners met on Monday, and agenda items included internet services fro the Sheriff's Dept, Public Works update, Computer Department maintenance and battery backup, the sale of Old County Health Buidling in Coffeyville, insurance open enrollment for county employees that is today thru tomorrow/Fri, Mar. 8, and the one item which commissioners took action on was the Chip & Seal of CR 1700 for rural Caney residents. County Clerk Charlotte Schmidt tells us more about it.

The pavement on CR 1700 was removed in 1983 due to continued use of heavy equipment and oil trucks which tore up the road. Commissioners directed Jim Wright, Interim Public Works Director, to prepare a cost estimate for paving the 1.5 mile stretch of country road 1700 and have it ready for consideration for the Mar. 11 meeting. Finally, the sale of Coffeyville's Old County Health Building is published as a public notice in the Mar. 7 edition of the Montgomery County Chronicle.
