(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners heard a report from Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. last week on projects to be considered for funding through State of Nebraska project funding in which Federal funds are received by the State and then distributed to counties for structure funding.

The first project is north of Strausville then east on 710 Road estimated to cost $1.1 million. The second project is northwest of Humboldt on 717 Road estimated to cost $1.6 million.

Commissioners met in executive session with special legal counsel for an update on the pending Court of Industrial Relations case brought by the union representing the counties Road and Bridge Department employees. No action was taken following the 20 minute closed session.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty was unable to meet with the Board. Commissioners will conduct the quarterly jail inspection this week during their Wednesday meeting.

Commissioners also authorized advertising for a hearing to determine the fair market value of a tower site near Barada for Wednesday, August 7 at 10 a.m.

A change order at a cost of $21,465 for the Courthouse roof replacement project to complete the coating stone cap by Conklin Affinity was approved.
