# Commissioners confirm they'll ask the county council tonight to fund a full rebuild of the jail's secure elevator

## What happened
A commissioner confirmed the county would go before the county council that same evening to request funding for a total rebuild of the secure elevator at the jail. Facilities lead Ricky Hammonds said the elevator looks to be about 50 to 60 years old and estimated the rebuild project would take roughly 43 to 48 weeks.


## The outcome
Not yet decided by the commissioners — the funding request was headed to the county council later that same night.
