Montgomery County will keep its own employees for in-house janitorial service for the coming year.

 

That was the decision at Monday’s county commission meeting. Interim County Administrator Kori White told commissioners that a breakdown of the pros and cons of keeping an in-house staff versus contracting the cleaning services was in favor of keeping the current staff. White says changing to a contractor would be more expensive.

 

Commissioner Phil Clubine says the money savings isn’t the only upside to keeping in-house staff.

 

In other business, commissioners also approved a request from Juvenile Community Corrections to appoint Chris Williams to serve on the Juvenile Corrections Advisory Board.
