Summary
At its April 20 meeting in Springfield, the Robertson County Commission approved a rezoning, multiple budget amendments across county departments, surplus property declarations and other routine measures; tally details were not specified in the minutes.
The Robertson County Commission on April 20 approved a rezoning and a series of budget amendments and administrative measures during a regular meeting at the Robertson County Juvenile Courtroom in Springfield. Mayor William A. Vogle presided.
The most consequential single item on the agenda was Resolution No. 042026025, which rezoned 5.94 acres at 6753 Hwy 76 E from AG-2 (Agricultural/Residential) to RP-80 (Rural Preservation) in the 3rd Voting District. Commissioner Roberts moved the rezone and Commissioner Martin seconded; the resolution was adopted with the required majority (the minutes note 13 yes votes were needed; the recorded vote tally is not specified).
The commission also approved multiple budget amendments across county funds. Among the items the body passed were: Resolution No. 042026026 (General Fund — Planning & Zoning fire hydrant abatement funds); Resolution No. 042026027 (School Fund — various grants); Resolution No. 042026028 (Solid Waste — overtime to cover motor failures in compactors); Resolution No. 042026029 (Highway — state aid projects for Mint Springs Road); Resolution No. 042026030 (General Fund — Election Office expenses for the May primary); Resolution No. 042026031 (General Fund — Trustee’s office postage); Resolution No. 042026032 (General Fund — website ADA compliance); Resolution No. 042026033 (General Fund — law enforcement supplies); Resolution No. 042026034 (School Fund — cooling tower repairs at WHHHS after ice storm); Resolution No. 042026035 (General Fund — emergency notification software); and Resolution No. 042026036 (General Fund — county building sewer pipe repair). Each was moved, seconded, and recorded in the minutes as passed; in each case the minutes indicate a 13-yes-vote threshold was required but do not provide the exact roll-call tally.
The commission declared surplus property for the Board of Education Technology Department (Resolution No. 042026037) and for three sheriff’s department vehicles (Resolution No. 042026038). It also approved Resolution No. 042026039 allowing Robertson County Economic Development Board staff to participate in county employee benefits and Resolution No. 042026040 adjusting the Highway Department budget to reflect an oil-index price increase. All routine measures were adopted on motions with seconds and recorded as passed.
The minutes record that departmental reports were filed with the clerk’s office (Highway Commission; Trustee, including the 2024 assessor change report and delinquent real property tax; Animal Control; Planning Commission; Solid Waste; Veterans Service; Emergency Management; Fire; Finance; and EMS). The commission approved the March 23, 2026 meeting minutes and handled several ceremonial and community announcements, including reminders from Mayor Vogle about the Fallen Officer Memorial, Day of Prayer, CASA Pinwheel Ceremony and the King of the Crawl event.
The minutes do not include vote-by-name tallies for the listed resolutions; where the minutes specify a legal threshold (13 yes votes), the record notes only that the threshold was met. The meeting adjourned at 7:34 p.m.
Actions taken (as recorded in the minutes): a rezone (042026025) and a series of budget amendments, surplus declarations, and administrative resolutions (042026026–042026040), each recorded as passed with the required majority; exact vote counts were not specified in the minutes.
