(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners voted to continue to keep the Richardson County Courthouse closed until further notice, due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty and Chief Deputy Roland Merwin met wit the Board discussing the idea of providing a hiring bonus for Nebraska law enforcement certified officers.

Information will be requested from other agencies that provide this option for further review and to assist in developing a policy for the Richardson County Sheriff's Department if approved.

The Sheriff's office is also reviewing the idea of obtaining ankle monitors for inmates that are sentenced for court commitments, probation violation and other circumstances that are approve for house arrest. A service agreement from a company for the ankle monitors will be reviewed prior to a decision being made.

Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. reported that rock quarries are working on weekends to get stockpiles built up and that the departments rock trucks are hauling as much rock as is available at the present time.
