The Ellis County Commission on Monday will consider a plan to replace outdoor weather warning systems throughout the county.

According to information presented to the commission by Director of Fire and Emergency Management Darin Myers, the outdoor warning systems in the county are approximately 40 years old and need to be replaced.

The cost of replacing the system will be approximately $182,700. Myers said it will be funded through capital reserves.

In other business, the commission will add a shop foreman position to the list of high-demand premium jobs and consider a resolution to reduce county commissioner pay by 5 percent.

Monday’s commission meeting is scheduled for 5 p.m. Monday at the Ellis County Administration Center.
