By John Nixon

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with special legal counsel Jerry Pigsley last Wednesday to review a petition filed with the Nebraska Commission of Industrial Relations by the Nebraska Association of Public Employees / AFSCME Local 61 on behalf of the employees of the Richardson County Roads and Highway Department on June 21.

The Board voted to ratify and confirm that an offer presented to the Union on February 14, 2024, was the final offer from Richardson County to the Union.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty reported Commissioners that he has assisted Pawnee County a few times in the past several weeks as they struggle to fill vacant officer positions in the Sheriff's Department.

County Attorney Samantha Scheitel has indicated that Richardson County should not be assisting Pawnee County without a contract in place to cover liability. Sheriff Hardesty said the Pawnee County is drafting an agreement to be submitted to Richardson County for review.
