Howard County Government, IN - Commissioner Meeting - 7/20/2026

The Howard County Government Commissioners held a meeting on July 20, 2026, where several procurement and contract matters were addressed. The commissioners approved a reduced order of 130 doses of seasonal flu vaccine for county employees at a cost of $2,470. They also approved a contract with Otis Elevator for elevator maintenance services across all county buildings, including the government center, with a clause allowing contract termination if service issues are not resolved within 90 days. Additionally, the board approved claims totaling over $1.7 million and passed an ordinance to convert a county intersection into a three-way stop to improve pedestrian safety near a school sports complex. An interlocal agreement was also approved for the county to provide building inspection and code enforcement services to the recycling district, with reimbursement of costs. The meeting included discussions on traffic safety studies and plans to apply for federal grants to improve high-incident intersections, though no immediate procurement actions were taken on those projects.
