(KLZA)-- Richardson County Sheriff Rick Hardesty informed Richardson County Commissioners last week that during April his office had 631 calls, 410 of which were traffic stops. 44 arrests were made during the month by the Sheriff's Department.

Commissioners approved the purchase of communication console equipment from 911 Custom of Olathe, KS. In an amount of nearly $11,300 for a new patrol unit that will replace the one totaled in an April 1 accident. Insurance will cover approximately $5,000 of the cost to replace the items damaged.

Aaron Levengood who had requested to meet with the Board in regards to concerns with criminal complaints failed to appear for his appointment.

Commissioners approved renewal of the county employee health insurance coverage with Medica through Gallagher Insurance Agency of Aurora, Nebraska with an increase in the premiums of $132,839.

The Board had received quotes form United Healthcare and Blue Cross / Blue Shield of Nebraska as well.

The Board voted to transfer the 2022 unpaid tax certificates into the County Tax Sale.

Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. discussed the Road Department mechanic shop installing a remanufactured engine with a 3 year, 100-thousand mile warrant into a 2017, Sheriff's Department Dodge patrol unit. There is an understanding that once the Sheriff's office plans to replace the pickup, it would be returned to the Road Department.
