A committee made up of Atchison County department heads or representatives and a County Commissioner presented their findings on health benefits for county employees.
Atchison County Sheriff John Calhoon recently made a presentation to commissioners and Monday, they elected to hire an insurance consultant, Hays Company.
County Commissioner Jeff Schuele says the committee reported a lot of apprehension to change plans from the current state of Kansas non-state employee plan.
However, they believe the consultant route is best, comparing it to an HR manager, instead of a broker or transactional.
Schuele says the current plan poses problems when budgeting.

Commissioners also held a lengthy executive session with officials involved in the court system about security in the courthouse.
Schuele says they hope to address the situation as the budget cycle moves forward.
