(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved a purchase order for a pair of Eagle 3 Dual Ka-Ban w/eFork radar units when they met last week. The County cost for the units will be $2,753 with nearly $2,400 from the Nebraska Department of Transportation Highway Safety Office Radar Mini-Grant program covering the remaining cost.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty informed Commissioners that the State Jail Standards annual inspection of the jail was held in the past week.

After receiving input from a number of County officials, and discussion with County Attorney Samantha Scheitel, about a draft of a resolution to implement a hiring restriction without prior approval from the County Board of Commissioners on all new hires, which would also include a review of that job description to be filled in all County Departments, the Board summarized that the County Board wold respectfully request that officials inform the County Board when there is a job vacancy within a department and who the new hire may be.

The Board also approved the expenditure of $17,998 for a snowplow and sander for a County pickup. The price inlcudes all installation and lighting. The purchase will be made from Nebraska Snow Equipment of Lincoln, which has abeen priced through the government pricing service Sourcewell.
