Richardson Co Board approves bridge repair at county shop

By John Nixon

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. reported to Commissioners last week that two additional quotes were sought from local contractors regarding needed repairs and improvements to the bridge leading into the County Shop area in Falls City.

Both contractors were unable to provide a quote at this time.

With that information the Board approved a quote from Midwest Infrastructure, Inc. to do the work at a cost of $49,385.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty reported that a patrol unit was damaged in the past week when a deer was hit. Plans are being made to get repairs done as soon as possible.

Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Kirkendall relayed to the Board his disappointment with the elimination of funding for a staff person in the budget proposed for next year. Funding for the Richardson County Emergency Management Agency is provided through funding from the Nebraska Public Power District's Cooper Nuclear Station and Emergency Management Program Grant funds through the Nebraska Emergency Management Agency with remaining expenses from property tax.

Following an executive session, Commissioners approved a request from Ted an Mona Godeman to have Mona's workplace in the Veterans Service Office tested for mycrotoxins.
