(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners agreed to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement with Nemaha and Otoe counties concerning back-up emergency notifications when they met Tuesday.

The agreement describes the necessary relationship between the counties that compromise the Southeast Nebraska Emergency Notification System to accomplish back-up notifications through a common and coordinated Alert and Notification System which is capable of sending emergency messages to telephones throughout the Cooper Nuclear Station 10-mile emergency planning zone.

The Board adopted a resolution to close and vacate a section of road east of the intersection of 658 Avenue and 708 Road.

A public hearing has been scheduled for Tuesday, March 24 at 9:30 A.M. To receive input from the public on the proposed One & Six Year Highway Improvement Program for Richardson County. 

Board members also approved a quote from Metal Culverts Inc. of Jefferson City, Missouri for culvert materials in an amount of $44,910.  It was the lowest of the quotes received from four companies.
