COVINGTON, Ind. — Fountain County is going to get an updated Web site.

Eric Cunningham, technology director at Southeast Fountain Elementary School, showed the Fountain County Commissioners Monday night what could be accomplished.

Cunningham showed what the site could have on it, including links to officeholders and important announcements.

He showed the Southeast Fountain site and what he has accomplished there.

The commissioners gave Cunningham the go-ahead and will work out reimbursement later.

In other business, commissioners:

-- Learned that nearly 3,000 H1N1 vaccines have been administered by the Fountain-Warren County Health Department.
