(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved entering into a Memorandum of Understanding with Johnson, Pawnee and Nemaha Counties to apply for Community - based Juvenile Service Aid Program Funds through the Nebraska Crime Commission for the 2024-25 period when they met last week.
Linda Volker presented the 4-County Juvenile Services program and summary of services provided during the meeting.
Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. reported construction has begun on a concrete box culvert project on 704 Road, 4.5 miles west of Highway 73 on Pony Creek Road. The project is anticipated to be completed by early spring.
Commissioners also authorized advertising for sealed bids for rock purchases in 2024 to be opened December 27.
Sheriff Rick Hardesty reported on seized monies totaling approximately $27 thousand from an illegal drug investigation. The funds will be submitted to the Federal Forfeiture program with Richardson County to receive a portion of those funds.
The Sheriff also reported there were 666 calls with 447 of them being traffic stops in the last month. The Sheriff's Department made 48 arrests.
Commissioners did approve a request from the City of Falls City for $3,831 to cover the matching share of the total cost of $15,323 for three new computers with mounting brackets, printers and scanners for patrol vehicles which will be covered by a grant from the Nebraska Department of Transportation.
