Richardson County Commissioners designated County Clerk Mary Eickhoff as the budget-making authority for the upcoming fiscal year when they met on Tuesday.
Extension Educator Lyndsay Chichester presented information to Commissioners on a remedy for the radon gas level in the lower level of the Richardson County Courthouse. The Board requested that she obtain quotes from different firms on the procedure to complete the task.
Test results taken in the Extension Office showed the Radon level to be 11. It is suggested that anyplace with a reading above 4 be mitigated.
Chichester says the Extension Office does still have radon kits available to test homes. While it is best to test in the winter time because people tend to be going in an out less in the winter, she says you can do the test in the summer as long as the home has the windows closed.
Sheriff Randy Houser presented information and specifications for the advertisement to receive sealed bids for the purchase of a patrol unit to replace a unit that is currently out of order due to mechanical problems. Commissioners recommended and approved the purchase of a new motor for the patrol unit to get it back into service rather than the purchase of a new unit at this time.

Dave Merrill of Region V Services presented his organizations annual report and activities and programs being done. Bob Kinghorn of Region V Services in Auburn also reported on the local programs and services provided to the community residents.
