(KNZA)--The Nemaha County Commission has approved the purchase of five 800-megahertz handheld radios for the county's rural fire departments.
At the request of county Emergency Preparedness Director Russel Lierz, the Commission Monday approved the purchase of the radios from Haug Communications in Seneca.
Four used radios will be purchased for $525 each and one new radio at an unknown cost.
Funding for the purchase will come from the Broxterman EMT Fund.
In other business, county residents Dave and Jenny Pfrang met with the Commission to discuss issues they have with the current haul route for the construction of the Soldier Creek Windfarm in southern Nemaha County.
The Pfrangs indicated that one of their main issues is the current location of the laydown yard for the project.
Commissioners advised the Pfrangs that they will speak to NextEra Energy Resources about possibly relocating the laydown yard.
