Commissioners Special Meeting 10 26 2026

The Boone County Commissioners held a special meeting on October 26, 2026, to consider Resolution 2026-11, which would authorize filing a petition in county court to seek the removal of the elected county auditor. The auditor’s attorney argued that the allegations did not meet the legal standard for removal and cited disputed or incomplete evidence, while the county’s attorney urged approval, citing alleged problems across multiple areas of the auditor’s work. The discussion referenced potential substantial taxpayer costs if litigation proceeded, but no amount was established or authorized at this meeting.

A commissioner moved to table the resolution, citing the possibility of additional information; the motion was seconded and passed by voice vote, with no opposition heard. The meeting also briefly referenced a prior dispute over the bidding process for the assessor’s appraisal contract and its added expense, but no procurement decision or spending authorization was made at this meeting.
