The Warren County Board of Commissioners held a meeting on May 26, 2026, where key procurement and budget-related discussions took place. The board approved a resolution to allow inter-county adjustment of Title 20 and TANF funds for calendar year 2026, enabling flexible allocation of federal funds to meet local needs. A significant portion of the meeting focused on the transition of the Greater Warren County Drug Task Force from a council of governments (COG) to operating under a memorandum of understanding directly with the county. This change aims to increase local control, oversight, and efficiency without increasing the overall $1.1 million budget, though the county will assume additional audit responsibilities. The board passed resolutions to transfer assets and liabilities from the COG to the county. Additionally, the board reviewed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) applications totaling $1.2 million for various construction projects, discussing necessary budget adjustments and project eligibility, with plans to reduce funding for certain projects to align with grant limits. The meeting concluded with a motion to enter executive session to consider appointments for key county director positions.
