By Aaron Wisdom

08/18/2025

(KTNC)-- A discussion was held with Highway Superintendent, Steve Darveau, on the road conditions due to the recent rainfall in the past weeks.

Sheriff Rick Hardesty informed the board that the Sheriff- Department was awarded a NE Dept. of Transportation grant “Drive Sober--Get Pulled Over” which will reimburse Richardson County for overtime that is incurred by the county- law enforcement officers during August 16 through September 3.

Brian Kirkendall, EMA Director, presented to the Board an application for a floodplain variance which was reviewed by the Board. The applicant is required to include a “no-rise certificate” which was not included with the application. No action was taken on this application. County Attorney, Samantha Scheitel was also available for this review.

A continued discussion was held regarding the ordinance of the floodway and possible changes that could be made to alleviate some of the current restrictions.
