(KLZA)--Richardson County Commissioners have approved financing for a new radio system for the Richardson County Law Enforcement Center.
In May the Board learned the cost of the system would carry a price tag of $182,050 with the price based on a Nebraska Administrative Services Contract so no formal bidding was required.
Commissioners had quotes from the Nebraska Association of County Officials through a lease-purchase program and from American National Bank.
The Board approved the quote from American National Bank for a three-year lease purchase plan with an interest rate of 1.23 percent.
The Sheriff's Department has been concerned for several year about dead spots in the county that do not allow officers to communicate with one another.
