(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with Austin Duerfeldt, ARPA Funds Administrator for Richardson County on Tuesday.  

Duerfeldt informed the Board that a recent expense to the County for the installation of new water pipe and sewer pipe within the Courthouse would be eligible for funding through the ARPA funds.  

Discussion was also held regarding the possibilty of continued legislation on the funds introduced to Congress which would offer more options for the use of the ARPA funds to benefit the County. 

A news release will be issued next week requesting Richardson County residents to complete a survey regarding the use of the ARPA funds which will be accessible online on the Richardson County website,  www.co.richardson.ne.us. You can also obtain a copy at the Richardson County Clerk's Office at the Courthouse.  The surveys need to be completed and returned by November 30.  

The Board also met in executive session with County Attorney Doug Merz,  Deputy  County Attorney Samantha Scheitel, Sheriff Rick Hardesty and Chief Deputy Sheriff Roland Merwin to discuss possible litigation.
