(KNZA)--The Hiawatha City Commission Monday evening approved bids for needed repairs at the Fisher Center.

The Commission accepted the lone bid received from Emery Glass Company for the replacement of the front and back entrance doors in the amount of $18,776. They will be replaced with automatic doors to make them ADA compliant.

The Commission accepted a bid from Pierce Heating and Cooling for the replacement of the loft HVAC unit in the amount of $16,170, and a bid from Koehn Cooling for the replacement of the two AC units in the gym in the amount of $9,685. Bids were received from the three companies.

In other business, the Commission voted to donate land to the Brown County Historical Society between their Ag Museum property and the Fisher Center.  Historical Society President Gary Shear told the Commission the organization would like to construct a building on the property to house 41 historic windmills. Shear said the building would serve as a memorial to those who set the windmills down Windmill Lane.

On the recommend of the Hiawatha Fire Department, the Commission approved an application from Broderick Jones to be a volunteer firefighter.
