(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners met with Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. last Wednesday and reviewed a request from Alan Rippe regarding the intersection of 707 Trail and 634 Avenue in regards to improvements that should be considered to ensure safe and reliable transportation of agricultural products.
The Board will review the request further before making a decision.
County Treasurer Amanda Bartek-Ramsy presented information to the Board on a postage machine and requested permission to make the purchase since the current machine in use will no longer be compatible for service. There are two options, one is to lease a machine for five years at a cost of $3,731 which includes all maintenance or to purchase the equipment with maintenance included for five years at a cost of $3,438, with the possibility of maintenance service costs increasing within the five year time frame.
The Board will consider the options during their April 27 Board meeting.
Sheriff Rick Hardesty reported that Deputy Novak has completed training and received certification as a K-9 handler.
The Sheriff also reviewed the possibility of hiring two deputies on a part-time basis and recommended the County consider selling a 2019 Ford Explorer that has been deemed surplus.
The topics will be further discussed when the Board meets Wednesday.
