(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved an agreement with the City of Humboldt for the Sheriff's Office to provide law enforcement services to the City when they met last week.

The Sheriff's Office will provide 160 hours of service per month with the cost to the city for the next fiscal year being $94,000. The 5-year contract calls for a 2% cost increase each year with the contract to end August 31, 2030.

The Board also approved a request to upgrade cellular phones for the Sheriff's Department and to advertise for sale on social media sites the sale of department cellular phones deemed to be surplus to the highest bidder.

Commissioners also discussed water leaks that have appeared inside the Richardson County Courthouse following recent rain and storms.

Commissioner Bob Campbell reported that work is needed to be done to the exterior of the upper level of the Courthouse which is the old jail area. Campbell will be contacting a contractor specializing in restoration of historical buildings to obtain their opinion on the problem.

Campbell also updated the Board on the condition of the roof of the Law Enforcement Center after he participated in an inspection of the roof with an insurance adjuster from EMC and a contractor with Skyline Construction.
