(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners discussed a number of matters that could affect the next fiscal year budget when they met June 27th.
Sheriff Don Pounds presented a salary study and the proposed fiscal year 2017-18 budget for the Sheriff’s Department and Jail. The Sheriff also requested the Board consider approving a salary increase for the department.
In addition, the Sheriff reviewed with Commissioners, the 9-1-1 answering service and the dispatching agreement with the City of Falls City. No action was taken.
Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Kirkendall presented a request to appoint Tylene Windle as deputy director for Richardson County Emergency Management. The change would also include a salary increase. Commissioners will review the request.
