July 28, 2026

The Warren County Board of Commissioners met on July 28, 2026, addressing several procurement and budget-related matters. They approved an amendment to the contract with Strand Associates Incorporated for the State Route 122 Robinson Bale Intersection Improvement Project and authorized issuing a request for proposals for the Emergency Communication Center voice and screen recording system replacement project. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the Child Advocacy Center (CAC), where officials discussed the center's operational and financial status, emphasizing the need to integrate CAC funding into the county's regular budget process to ensure predictability and reduce reliance on fundraising. The CAC's 2027 projected expenses are approximately $415,000, with about $225,000 expected from grants. The board also received an update on the remaining $4.3 million of ARPA funds, with $660,000 left to obligate by the end of 2026, and discussed challenges related to a $3.2 million contract with Ultra Fiber. The meeting concluded with plans for further financial reporting and no additional procurement motions.
