The Marshall County Commissioners will meet Tuesday morning at 8:30 in their second-floor meeting room of the County Building. There are a number of items on the agenda including a report on the Highway Department by Superintendent Jason Peters and County Assessor Pete Paul will ask the commissioners to make an appointment to the PTABOA.
Marshall County Coroner John Grolich told the Commissioners on Monday that he received an invoice in the mail from American Mortuary Supplies in Fallbranch, Tennessee for supplies ordered for the new morgue.
The invoice total was $26,215 and $943.56 for shipping and the coroner was seeking a pre-pay. He did have some concern on the shipping cost and said he spoke with Jason Peters from the County Highway Department to see if they could drive to Tennessee and pick-up the supplies cheaper than the shipping cost.
Grolich said the supplies include the 10-body storage cooler, lifting devices and racks and trays for the body storage. He said he shopped around and saved several hundreds of dollars going with American Mortuary Supplies.
