( KTNC)-- The Richardson County Board of Commissioners met July 12.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty met with the board on the routine business within the Law Enforcement Center. Discussion was held regarding the installation of a HVAC unit on the rooftop of the Law Enforcement Center that was obtained for use during the outage of the unit that was out of service for a period this past winter. The extra unit would be installed and connected to be used as a back-up to avoid the problem of removing inmates from the jail and transporting them to another facility until repairs could be made.

The board approved to enter into an interlocal agreement with Johnson, Pawnee and Nemaha counties for the operation of the 4-County Juvenile Services program for the period of July 1, 2023 through June 30 2024.
