(KLZA)-- Richardson County Sheriff Rick Hardesty informed County Commissioners during their April 5 meeting that he had met with the Humboldt-Table Rock - Steinauer Board of Education in regards to hiring a school resource officer.
The HTRS Board has proposed funding the position for three days per week. Commissioners indicated the School District would have to contribute to funding five days per week for the County to consider fulfilling the request.
Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau, Jr. reported that the temporary seasonal part-time employee will return this year. Commissioners approved an hourly wage of $12 per hour.
Darveau also reported the Vogtscapes company which has a contract for a Richardson County bridge project has experienced a fire loss involving a loss of equipment necessary to complete the contract. Darveau suggested an extension to the contract might be considered.
Darveau also said asphalt patching on the hard surfaced road south of Rulo is being done in preparation of the overlay project coming up this summer.
