Board okays $15,000 training contract with Ted Garnett for supervisory development

Blackhawk County Board of Supervisors · July 28, 2026

Summary

The board approved a $15,000 addendum to the county's strategic plan engagement to fund three training sessions by Ted Garnett for supervisory staff beginning Aug. 26; HR director Amanda Fezzemire said the sessions will support accountability and one-on-one supervisory skills.

The Board of Supervisors authorized Addendum 4 to the strategic-plan engagement, contracting Ted Garnett to deliver three practice workshops for supervisory staff at a cost of $15,000.

Amanda Fezzemire, the county's human resource director, told the board the training supports priorities identified by the county culture team, including professional development and a culture of accountability. "This contract supports both of those," Fezzemire said, and added sessions will run beginning Aug. 26 through the end of September and include pretests to tailor content.

Board members asked whether supervisors and board members would be included; Fezzemire confirmed the sessions would include the board of supervisors among participants and that sign-ups were already underway. The board approved the resolution and directed the chair to sign the contract.
