By John Nixon

(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners approved a resolution to change the number of deputies in the Sheriff's Department to allow the hiring of a full-time deputy to serve as a transport officer when they met Tuesday.

Approval comes with a stipulation that if it proves at any time at a later date to be unnecessary, the position will be removed.

Commissioners approved the hiring of Austin Duerfeldt to serve as a temporary employee in a position to provide professional services for ARPA funds received by Richardson County. Duerfeldt was the only person to provide a resume for the position.

The Board met with Department officials and supervisors for the quarterly safety meeting. Emergency Management Agency Director Brian Kirkendall reported a concern about the room in the courthouse where the phone service and internet service are connected and suggested an electrician be contacted to install more outlets in the area to avoid the use of extension cords and power strips.

A letter received from concerned citizens regarding the dress code within the courthouse was also reviewed.
