Commission approves economic‑development staff access to county benefits; board to cover costs
Summary
Commissioners approved Resolution 042026039 allowing Robertson County Economic Development staff to participate in county employee benefits; Commissioner Katz said the economic development board will fund any county cost and argued such benefits are necessary to attract qualified staff.
Commissioner Bobby Katz presented Resolution 042026039 to let the Robertson County Economic Development staff participate in county employee benefits. Katz explained the economic development board will pay the difference so the change "doesn't cost the county nothing," and told commissioners, "you can't hire good people without good benefits, and we want good people in these positions."
The commission seconded and approved the resolution. Chair noted Jordan Osborne had been acting in the position and praised his work. Katz framed the change as a tool to recruit and retain staff to pursue industrial and economic development opportunities.
