(KLZA)-- Richardson County Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau reported to the Commissioners last week that the recent scrap tire collection events in Humboldt and Falls City resulted in 101.38 tons of tires being collected.
48 persons brought tires to the Humboldt site and 141 persons brought tires to the Falls City site with more than 4,400 tires disposed of.
The County will request reimbursement from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality in an amount of nearly $11-thousand.
On a 2-1 vote with Commissioner David Sickel casting the nay vote the Board approved having the Road and Bridge Department work four, 10-ten hour days during the summer, beginning May 24th with the exception being the weeks that contain a paid holiday.
Sickel stated that he feels the taxpayers in Richardson County need to have the support on the roads at least for the five days during the week.
Commissioners took no action on a request from the County Employee Health Insurance Committee to fund a portion of the spouse, children and / or family health insurance coverage for county employees.
