The Cole County Commission approved an advertising agreement with Zimmer Communications that an agency official said would support sheriff's recruitment and retention.
Contract and motion: The agency official described an advertising package (cited as a $6,500 option) and requested the county sign the agreement. A commissioner moved to authorize the expenditure; the motion was seconded. Commissioners voted in favor by voice vote and the motion passed.
Context: The agency official said the advertising buy is part of a broader recruiting and retention effort tied to earlier internal salary adjustments, and said the county had extended offers to prospective employees in recent weeks.
Vote and outcome: The motion to sign the contract passed by voice vote; the transcript records affirmative votes but does not provide a full roll‑call tally in the meeting transcript.
Quoted: "So I would ask that you sign a contract with Zimmer for the country," the agency official said.
