(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved a two-percent salary increase for the foremen and the administrative assistant with the Richardson County Road Department when they met Tuesday.

Board members met with Acting Sheriff Roland Merwin who presented quotes and state bid contracts for the replacement of patrol units. No action was taken. The Sheriff's Department is looking to replace two units if possible.

Brief discussion was also held concerning the annual salary increase for the Law Enforcement Center dispatchers, jailers, maintenance and office personnel. Merwin told Board members the Department has requested information from other counties regarding salaries for these positions and a letter has been drafted to the County Board for consideration of an increase. Merwin requested the Board delay any action on salary increases for the positions until a later meeting.
