(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners conducted a public hearing Tuesday morning to receive comment about the proposed closing of a portion of 660 Avenue between 711 Road and 712 Trail.

No one from the public attended the hearing, and no action was taken by the Board.

Commissioners approved allowing the number of Richardson County Deputy Sheriffs to increase by one, to allow for an additional Deputy to serve as the School Resource Officer at the Humboldt-Table Rock – Steinauer School. The position will be funded totally by School District #70 at a cost of $5,127 per month.

Official action to amend the resolution last amended in October of 2021 will be taken during the July 26 meeting of the Board.
