(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners continued negotiations on a collective bargaining agreement with the Road Department union when they met on February 14.

Following the exchange of proposals, Commissioners presented their final offer which they asked be submitted to the employees for a final vote. Union representatives relayed that final offer would likely be rejected based on the wages offered by the County.

Union representatives Justin Hubly said he would relay the final offer to the employees and notify Jerry Piglsey, special legal counsel for the County in the next month.
