Geary County Commissioners received reports Monday on a number of issues.

--Telephone and internet service was out at the County Office Building. Technicians were to look into the problem. The internet service has been restored.

--There have been two childcare task force meetings but with the resignation of two members some regrouping will be in order. The goal is to get businesses, especially large employers to partner on addressing the need.

--ATA Bus will make a presentation to an upcoming joint county, city and school district meeting. County officials feel more bus routes are also needed on the northwest side of Junction City.

--HR Director Crystal Malchose and Finance Director Tami Robison will attend the upcoming County Day at  the state capitol.

--The Geary County Rural Fire Department only had to respond to one fire call in January.

--One bid for an Emergency Management window project was received. It totaled $38,404. The bid will be reviewed by Public Works with a recommendation due back at the next county commission meeting on Feb. 12th.
