(KLZA)-- The Richardson County Commissioners adopted a resolution this week urging Southeast Community College to develop an outreach program to improve its delivery of workforce training to residents of the Southeast corner of Nebraska. The resolution requests the Southeast Community College Administration and Board of Governors to adopt and implement a 2015-2019 Strategic Plan including community-based workforce training to help members of the workforce to develop skills needed for employment in Richardson County businesses.
Sheriff Don Pounds informed the Board that a dispatcher had reached the maximum number of errors on a computer system with federal information and therefore is not authorized to use the system for three months. Sheriff Pounds will demote the employee to a lower position and south permission from the Board to proceed with the demotion.
Commissioners voted to approved the action.
Highway Superintendent Scott Huppert reported his department is continuing to utilize four private contractors to assist with Road Department with hauling rock.
After opening sealed bids the Board approved the purchase of culvert materials for a project 1.5 miles east of Falls City on 707 Road in an amount of $20,027 which was the low bid of four submitted. The Contech company out of Lincoln was the low bidder.
Sealed bids for the County general liability, property, auto and worker’s compensation insurance were opened. One bid was received. The Board approved awarding the bid to Miller-Monroe Insurance Company of Falls City in an amount of $231,053. That is a $17,525 increase from last years price, an increase of just over eight percent.
