By John Nixon

07/01/2024

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners voted to award the bid for the county insurance received from Miller Farrell on June 5th when they met last week, with an alternate bid of property coverage presented.

Scott Miller with the Agency reviewed the bid submitted and options for property coverage for the courthouse.

The total amount of the premium for coverage from July 1, 2024 to June 30, 2025 will be $320,180, an increase of $7,157 from the previous year.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty discussed repairs needed to the padded cell in the jail which was damaged by an inmate in April. The County continues to wait for response from Nebraska Jail Standards which has to approve the major repair. Numerous messages have been left with the State Agency but no response has been received.

Commissioners also met with John Day, Executive Director of Blue Valley Behavioral Health who presented a report on services they provide to Richardson County. Day also requested continued financial support in an amount of $8 thousand for the next fiscal year.

County Attorney Samantha Scheitel will draft a contract for the agreement and forward it to Day for review.

The Southeast Nebraska Development District submitted their annual report to the Board. Included was the membership packet and request for Fiscal Year 24-25 dues in an amount of $4,192.
