(KLZA)-- Richardson County Commissioners voted last week to approve notices to be sent to ARPA funds grant applicants, the Village of Rulo, Richardson County House of Hope and Falls City EDGE notifying them that Richardson County has competed the review of the grant applications and that the remaining funds will be used to fund items within the budget of Richardson County.

Commissioners conducted the quarterly jail inspection and found the Richardson County Law Enforcement Center to be in good order.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty presented statistics to the Board noting the Sheriff's Department has responded to more than six-thousand calls for service since January 1 of this year. There have been 3,151 traffic stops, 486 arrests by the department, 575 bookings into the Jail and 27 out-of-county inmate holds.

Currently there are 14 inmates being held outside of Richardson County with seven of them in the Washington County Jail in Blair.

Sheriff Hardesty said his department is working the EDGE to partner with local agencies to seek grant funding for a digital finger printing system that has a price tag of approximately $25 thousand. He also noted that Deputy Stonebarger is working on grant applications through the Nebraska Department of Transportation, Highway Safety for extra patrol hours during the upcoming holiday season.
