Summary

The Bourbon County commission approved hiring Jennifer Hawkins for a newly posted ‘floater’ position designed to provide cross‑departmental support across courthouse offices.
The commission previously authorized $13,000 to fund the floater position. Commissioners said the role will answer to the commission and will assist multiple offices where needed; the move is intended to increase flexibility across payroll, records and daily operations without creating a single-department budget burden. Commissioners cited the county’s employee policy guidance favoring promotions from within when practical.
Designated supervisors said Hawkins has courthouse experience and is familiar with multiple county functions. The motion to hire Hawkins was moved and seconded and the commission recorded unanimous approval.
