Richardson County Sheriff's Dept seeks grant funds

(KLZA)-- During the January 20th meeting of the Richardson County Commissioners, Sheriff Rick Hardesty reported staff members are working on an application for an E-Citation grant to receive funding for the purchase of in-car scanners and printers.

Sheriff Hardesty also requested the Board to discuss the possibility of providing a contribution towards family, employee/spouse and employee/child health insurance coverage.

Hardesty provided estimates on costs that would be incurred for the added benefit which the Board will review.

Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. said the board and bridge crews are compiling a list of surplus vehicles and items for the County Board to review and approve for sale on the Big Iron auction site.

Darveau also presented information, including pictures concerning situations occurring on county bridges. Items are being attached to bridge structures, appearing to keep livestock from crossing to other properties under the structure.

Attaching or removing anything from a public road and structure is considered an obstruction or damage to the public road / structure and is generally a misdemeanor offense.
