(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners reported that notice has been received from the City of Falls City that a Memorandum of Understanding dated July 8 of this year, with the County has been terminated.

The agreement ended due to the action of a division within the Public Service Commission in August, during which Richardson County's request to be a secondary Public Service Answering Point for 911 calls was denied.

The City has since sent of revised call procedure document outlining how dispatching will be handled moving forward for 911 calls outside of the city limits of Falls City.

Ashley Fisher, Dispatch Supervisor for the Sheriff's Department reported the County is operating with the revised call procedures document which is much the same as what was provided for in the Memorandum of Understanding.

Commissioners also approved the purchase of a restraint chair from Safety Restraint Chair Inc. of Omaha in an amount of $2,900 and the purchase of a medication cart from Universal Medical of Oldsmar, Florida at a cost of $4122 for the law enforcement center.
