(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners have requested Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Kirkendall to obtain quotes for costs associated with changes to the courthouse fire alarm system.

Kirkendall reported last week, the system needs some minor changes to notify an individual or the Sheriff’s Department if the fire alarm would be activated. 

Prior to the new Richardson County Law Enforcement Center opening in 2016, there was always someone at the courthouse around the clock. 

In other business, Commissioners approved a quote from Chaney Furniture Company in Falls City for the installation of carpeting in the Department of Motor Vehicles room and an office on the third floor of the courthouse.  

The carpet and installation will come to nearly $1,200.
