By John Nixon

07/02/2021

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners this week adopted a resolution stating the Board has determined an emergency exists which threatens serious loss of life, health or property within the county.

This allows the Board to waive the bidding requirements of the County Purchasing act for the purchase of communication equipment through First Wireless, Inc.

This will also allow Richardson County to move forward with the purchase of necessary equipment to have the Southeast Nebraska 911 Dispatch Center do dispatching for the Sheriff's Office and all emergency response groups in Richardson County that are outside of Falls City.

Commissioners also reviewed staffing at the Law Enforcement Center with Sheriff Rick Hardesty and Chief Deputy Roland Merwin.

The contract with Medica Insurance Company for County employee health insurance was also given final approval.
