(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners last week approved a request from Highway Superintendent Scott Huppert, to proceed with preparing to advertise for sealed bids for the construction of a 40’ x 60’ building at the Humboldt County Shop.

Board members met with Sheriff Don Pounds at the Richardson County Law Enforcement Center to conduct the quarterly jail inspection. The facility was found to be in excellent order.

Sheriff Pounds also discussed preparations to purchase two patrol units at the Nebraska State Bid price and repairs to current patrol units.
