Moultrie County Public Health and Safety committee met November 4 with chair Arlene Aschermann leading discussion on the E 911 system, which is at the stage where individual mapping addresses for municipalities are entered.

The committee toured the Charleston 911 communication headquarters last month receiving an update on completion in the cooperative Moultrie-Coles County emergency system.

Kevin McReynolds reported initial testing proved the cell phone contact instantly maps the caller in the system with the next phase completing.

Aschermann noted the county needs a designated coordinator to assemble the addresses, with some delay placed on implementation until the funding formula is released by the state.

Building and maintenance superintendent Rick Matthews presented a report on the courthouse tuckpointing project to the committee.

Matthews noted Mason’s Masonry Restoration of Brownstown had finished tuckpointing all but the west side of the building.

Expected completion of the $203,755 outside restoration is set for December 28. Matthews said work has been going ahead of schedule, and he expected the project to be completed by the end of November.     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
