Warren County Commission Meeting - September 2026

The Warren County Commission meeting on September 22, 2026, approved a one-year lease with Jay’s Restaurant Inc. at a stated rate of $3,500; the lease passed 22–0. Commissioners discussed how lease rates are determined and requested information about a possible rate-setting matrix. The commission also approved a $61,000 transfer to help fund the school system’s new mowing contract for rural schools, and a separate $15,000 transfer from other contracted services for school-building repairs and maintenance. Both transfers passed 22–0. The transcript does not specify the full funding source for the $61,000 transfer; it notes that $51,000 would come from plant maintenance funds.

The commission also approved a state-authorized $12.50 court cost on misdemeanor and felony convictions, with the proceeds available to support crime-fighting activities; the vote was 21 in favor and one abstention. Other actions included making free animal adoptions permanent and approving department reports and routine account reclassifications. No additional contract awards or purchasing decisions were clearly identified.
