Richardson Co court security discussed
01/04/2018

Richardson County District Courtroom

(KLZA)-- Richardson County District Court Judge Julie Smith and County Court Judge Curtis Maschman have requested security be provided by the Sheriff's Department during court proceedings. 

During the December 26th County Commission meeting, Sheriff Don Pounds informed Commissioners of the request.  Pounds requested the Board approve hiring additional staff within the Sheriff's Department for courtroom security.

Pounds estimated it will involve about  28 hours per week for the security, noting the additional hours for courtroom security will decrease the time available for investigations and calls. 

The Board took no action on the request for additional staffing. 

In other business, the Board approved renewal of an agreement for CBM Managed Services to provide meals to inmates at the Jail for 2018.  The price will increase from $4.67 per meal to $5.04 for 15 - 19 inmates with the price for 20 or more inmates going up 35-cents each to $4.04 per meal.  

Commissioners also reviewed with the Sheriff damages to the Boy Scout Road south of Humboldt in early November. A driver pulling equipment caused the damage.  Commissioners noted a report needs to be completed before a ticket can be issued.
