Richardson County commissioners to study funding family health coverage; schools inquire about school resource officer
Summary
Commissioner Karas will research costs for county-funded family health insurance for employees after an initial discussion June 10, 2026; the board also reviewed an inquiry from local schools about a possible contract for a school resource officer and heard a 4‑H request to use the sheriff's shooting range, with no actions taken.
Vice-Chairman Karas raised a proposal for the county to consider funding family coverage insurance for county employees and said he will research the matter and return with numbers at a future meeting. Commissioners did not vote on funding at the June 10 session.
The board also heard a request reported by Karas that Humboldt/Table Rock/Steinauer Public Schools had inquired about obtaining a school resource officer through a contract with the county; the board discussed the possibility but took no action. Karas additionally reported a 4‑H club had requested to use the Law Enforcement Center shooting range for "Shooting Sports" practice; the board said that item may be placed on a later agenda for further review.
Sheriff Hardesty was noted as unable to attend the meeting. The discussion left next steps to staff and to commissioners for further information-gathering; no contractual commitments or funding approvals were made at this meeting.
