(KLZA)-- During Tuesday's meeting of the Richardson County Commissioners, Curt Field of Prochaska and Associates met with the Board and Sheriff Rick Hardesty to review the Jail inmates space and some options for the County to consider for adding more beds to the current facility.
Field explained to the Board that a feasibility study would probably be required before considering an addition to the existing facility.
The Commissioners will continue to review the possibility of adding more beds to the current jail which now has room to house 24 inmates.
Commissioners also approved an agreement with Tiger Correctional Services for commissary services for inmates at the Law Enforcement Center.
The Board also approved closing the Courthouse form noon to 1:00 p.m. on Friday, October 22 for a County employee lunch event, declaring the day to recognize “Breast Cancer Awareness.”
Commissioners have also approved advertising for a temporary part-time position to assist and provide for professional services with the receipt and expenditures of funds received from the American Rescue Plant Act.
Resumes must be received by October 15, 2021.
