LISBON — While the courthouse elevator is down, county commissioners said Wednesday they will continue to make every effort to give those with disabilities access to the courthouse.
Chairman Tim Weigle said the commissioners understand the courthouse needs to be ADA compliant and are working on the problem. However, the parts needed to fix the elevator cannot be made quickly enough to accomplish that immediately.
The parts to repair the elevator include replacement of a cylinder and possibly the piston inside it, which sit below the elevator and push it up. The parts are about 45-feet long and may need to be custom made and then assembled below the elevator shaft.
