Sheriff reports 14 inmates; county approves $2,148 appliance purchase and plans storage‑shed improvements
Summary
Sheriff Hardesty told commissioners the jail held 14 inmates and the board approved a $2,148 purchase order for two replacement commercial refrigerators; the board also discussed plans to improve an outdoor storage shed for official use.
Sheriff Hardesty updated the Richardson County Board of Commissioners on Wednesday that the county jail was holding 14 inmates as of the meeting.
The minutes record that a purchase order was approved to obtain two refrigerators from Mary's Appliance in Falls City for $2,148.00 after a commercial refrigerator at the Law Enforcement Center stopped operating. Commissioners also discussed planned improvements to an outdoor storage shed so it can be used for official space by the Law Enforcement Center.
The minutes do not record who moved or seconded the purchase‑order approval; the board’s routine motions earlier in the meeting passed on unanimous roll‑call votes. No additional staffing or capital project timelines for the storage‑shed improvements were specified in the minutes.
