SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) _ The Woodbury County Board of Supervisors in Iowa has borrowed $865,000 to pay for high-tech equipment and building improvements.

The Sioux City Journal (http://bit.ly/1F5jQkL ) reports the board approved issuing a capital loan note on Tuesday for money to be spent in the current fiscal year. The money will be used to pay for several projects including a new roof at the Prairie Hills jail annex east of Sioux City.

Funds will also be used to upgrade technology for the county’s Information and Communications Commission and computer equipment for the Climbing Hill building used for emergency services.

Officials say the loan will be repaid over five years.
