(KLZA)-- Following an executive session during their November 1 meeting, Richardson County Commissioners voted to concurrent representation by Baylor Evnen, LLP for the Richardson County Clerk along with the county clerks of five other Nebraska counties named as defendants in a suit filed in Lancaster County, District Court by Rick Hill, vs. Slection Systems & Software, State of Nebraska officials and 90 of the 93 Nebraska counties.

Hill claims the counties and state officials allowed unconstritutional elections.

In other business the Board reviewed bridge projects with Highway Superintendent Steve Darveau Jr. and the funding available trough the “bipartisan infrastructure bill” involving completion of an intensive grant application for “shovel ready” projects. Darveau will contact an engineering firm to meet with Commissioners Tuesday, November, 15, to review projects that may be eligible for the funding.

EDGE Executive Director Lucas Froeschl met with the Board and Sheriff Rick Hardesty to review the possibility of obtaining grant funding for the purchase of a digital fingerprint scanning system which would help to speed up the clearance process for employees hired for local daycares, medical and educational facilities.
