County Council Meeting Sunshine - 4/7/26

The Vigo County Council meeting held on April 7, 2026, included several procurement and budget-related discussions. Key topics included updates from the Vigo County Oversight Committee on school facility consolidation and funding, with no new contracts or service engagements reported. The council considered an amended salary ordinance to provide stipends for house managers at group homes, reflecting additional supervisory responsibilities. Appropriations were discussed for capital improvements such as installing two new furnaces at the Glenn Home group facility, with vendor quotes from Gibson Services and B&S presented, and the purchase of a transportation vehicle from a local vendor, Dorsett's Auto, funded through non-reverting funds. Additional appropriations were approved for the courts' alternative dispute resolution fund and drug interdiction grants, which support law enforcement and treatment programs. A budget correction was approved to transfer $225,000 within E911 equipment funds for a backup center. The council also addressed a budget correction for election poll worker funding and reappropriation of $15,001 for warming center operations. No votes on contract awards were explicitly recorded, but several motions related to budget appropriations and ordinance amendments were passed. The meeting concluded with adjournment by unanimous consent.
