A number of items are on the agenda for the Saline County Commission’s two meetings on Tuesday.
The first meeting, which is scheduled to be televised on Salina Media Connection, is set to begin at 9 a.m. in room 107 of the City-County Building. A time for public comment is scheduled near the beginning of the meeting.
The commissioners are scheduled to hear from Rosie Walter, Senior Services Department director, concerning a new phone system for the department. Walter is requesting that commissioners approve a service agreement with Nex-Tech through which senior services would receive cloud phone services for $234.08 per month and the installation of a new phone system for $2,880.
