(KLZA)-- In a letter to Richardson County Attorney Doug Merz, Beatrice City Administrator and General Manager Tobias Tempelmeyer said the City of Beatrice is willing to agree to Richardson County's request to terminate an interlocal agreement for dispatching services agreed to in July, 2021, if Richardson County pays the City of Beatrice $300 thousand, in addition to any payments due from Richardson County, until the agreement is formally terminated.
The letter, dated March 8, was discussed during Tuesday's meeting of the Richardson County Commissioners.
The letter states that based on the agreement, the City of Beatrice hired additional staff and incurred additional expenses.
Tempelmeyer said it is his understanding that Sheriff Rick Hardesty is unhappy and noted that on numerous occasions the City has met with members of the Richardson County Board to discuss the issues; however, Sheriff Hardesty has been unwilling to meet, or attend user group meetings.
Under the agreement, Richardson County is to pay the City of Beatrice $180 thousand for the first year of the contract with the amount increasing for each year of the three year agreement.
No action was taken by the Commissioners.
