(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners approved the closing of county departments on Friday, December 26, observing the day as a holiday.
The Road Department, Courthouse offices and Sheriff's Department general office will be closed on Friday.

This action follows President Donald Trump giving federal employees Friday off and then Governor Jim Pillen declaring Friday as a holiday for state employees due to the action of the federal government. 

During a brief 45-minute meeting Wednesday morning, Commissioners approved a quote from Travis Jorn to bore an electrical line under certain sidewalks at the Courthouse to allow installation of a new electrical line to the existing lighting fixtures at the Courthouse.  The price approved was $3,500.  

Commissioners also approved a resolution to transfer $200,000 from the Inheritance Tax Fund to the General Fund.
