County Council 09 09 2026

The Boone County IN Public Meeting held on September 9, 2026, primarily focused on budgetary and staffing adjustments across various county departments. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of budget increases for the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) director and assistant director positions, moving the weights and measures position from part-time to full-time to attract more applicants, and additional funding requests for consulting contracts related to the auditor's office. The council also reviewed and approved a financial advisor RFP, ultimately selecting Baker Tilly based on experience and cost considerations, with a five-year contract commitment. Other procurement actions involved reappropriations within the prosecutor's office and legal services, including a $22,000 contract for outside counsel due to increased legal needs. The meeting included motions and votes approving these budget amendments and contract awards, as well as discussions on policy updates such as electronic meeting participation and salary ordinance amendments. No new capital improvement projects or purchasing decisions were reported during this session.
