(KLZA)-- Richardson  County Commissioners approved  an application for the 2019 grant funding for the 4-County Juvenile Services Grant Tuesday.

Laura Osborne, the Grant Coordinator presented the application for approval.  Richardson, Pawnee, Nemaha and  Johnson counties each submit matching funds toward the grant application.  

Richardson County Sheriff Don Pounds presented information to the Board on the comparability between the wages and benefits of the police officers of the City of Falls City and the officers of the Richardson County Sheriff's Department.  

Last week the Sheriff said he feels it will be hard to get deputies to stay with the Sheriff's Department when the city police officers are better paid.  

No action was taken.
