November 10, 2026

At its November 10, 2026 meeting, the Warren County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved an updated countywide Uniform Guidance policy for managing and spending federal grant funds under 2 CFR 200. The board also discussed a proposal to make prosecutor review optional for contracts under $5,000 (with $7,500 mentioned as a possible upper threshold). No change was approved: the prosecutor’s office will report back after reviewing contract counts and values over a 90-day period. The board discussed the 2027 stop-loss renewal recommendation to remain with carrier 180, at an estimated annual cost of about $997,000 and an increase of roughly $354,000; no vote was recorded.

The County Engineer described transportation projects and requested consideration of an additional $10 million for road improvements in 2027; the county has pledged about $48 million previously, with roughly $13.7 million remaining in the road fund. Projects discussed included the I-75/State Route 73 interchange and a State Route 741/Green Tree roundabout estimated at $6 million, with potential county and racing-TIF funding. The board requested information on past spending and indicated any new allocation could be considered during budget sessions. Commissioners also agreed to schedule a work session with interested parties on proposed Mounts Road improvements and access; no project funding or road decision was approved in this discussion.
