Miami County to close non‑emergency offices Oct. 12 for employee development day

The commission approved a resolution Sept. 2 to close non‑emergency county offices on Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, for the county's annual employee development day.

Sarah Denny, Miami County's Human Resources Director, told commissioners the event will be at the Miami County Fairgrounds and include a morning registration, a K‑9 demonstration by Master Deputy Sheriff Yaste, a "First Amendment in Action" presentation by Capt. Jeremy Campbell (Johnson County Sheriff's Office) and Capt. Adam Khan (Spring Hill Police Department), a lunchtime equipment display, and a session from the county's employee assistance program (Accenture Health) on work–life balance. County Administrator Shane Kroll and Denny will give welcoming remarks.

Commissioner Vickrey moved to approve the resolution and Commissioner Scruggs seconded; the motion passed unanimously. The resolution authorizes the temporary closure of non‑emergency offices so staff can attend department‑wide and breakout trainings scheduled to finish in the mid‑afternoon.
