(KLZA)-- Richardson County Deputy Sheriff Clinton Stonebarger provided information to the Board of Commissioners last week on a USDA grant application, in which the USDA will provide $50 thousand in grant funds to be sued for the purchase of two patrol units with radios and equipment including the installation.

Three quotes for patrol units were presented to the Board. Commissioners approved the purchase for two, FORD Explorers with attached radio and safety equipment installed from Defender Supply or Argyle, Texas. The total cost will be $103 thousand. Richardson County will pay $53 thousand with grant funds covering the remaining costs.

Commissioners also unanimously approved a resolution to establish the salaries for the deputies of elected officials for the term of office at 75 percent of the elected officials salary. That will be for the County Clerk / Election Commissioner / Register of Deeds, County Assessor, County Treasurer and Clerk of the District Court.

The Chief Deputy Sheriff will receive 80 percent of the Sheriff's salary and the Deputy County Attorney will receive 80 percent of the County Attorney's salary.

During the August 16 Commissioners meeting a motion by Chairman David Sickel to set the deputies salary at 70 percent of the elected official's salary died for a lack of a second.
