Board faces question about repair or replace jail doors
The Eunice Board of Aldermen faced a question about whether to repair or replace electronic doors at the city jail during their meeting Tuesday.
Police Chief Randy Fontenot had presented a proposal from a company to repair the 40-year-old electronic doors. The company estimated the cost at $113,000.
Mayor Scott Fontenot said the cost could be greater than the company’s quote.
In a Dec. 18, 2020, letter to the mayor and council, the police chief stated the doors have been in serious disrepair and inoperable for several years.
