1-26-2026 Warrick County Commissioners Meeting

The Warrick County Commissioners meeting on January 26, 2026, included several contract and spending approvals. Commissioners approved a $30,000 amendment to the Mark CR LLC environmental septic services contract, increasing its total limit to $70,000 through year-end; a $15,000 agreement with Studio B for music, movement, and nutrition programming; and a per-minute interpretation services agreement with Heartland Interpretation, which has no upfront cost. They also approved a contribution of up to $5,000 toward the Labor Day celebration, two opioid-related contracts at $25,000 each, a Hydroax oil-water separator service contract for $3,350 twice per year, and the right-of-way agreement for Mainstream. A previously completed $3,350 Hydroax cleanout was reported as the low bid, and commissioners ratified a $52,610 Way Fleet purchase for upfitting four Sheriff’s Department vehicles. They also approved emergency Booneville Natural Gas invoices, though the transcript’s stated totals are inconsistent. A request for $11,200 in wetland mitigation credits for the Upper Road project was presented, but no approval vote is clear in the transcript.

The county did not accept Hillside Trail for maintenance because drainage work remained incomplete; the discussion cited $3,792.25 to remain held for another year. Final approval of the Garmon Security Center change order was tabled pending County Council approval. Commissioners approved new Animal Control operating hours. Public comments raised concerns about proposed data-center and solar regulations, the study process and public transparency, and potential flooding and environmental impacts; no related policy action was taken during the meeting.
