# Grant County Commissioner Meeting 10-5-26

At the October 5, 2026, Grant County Commissioners meeting, the commissioners approved moving forward with a Supreme Court court-reform grant application for courthouse operations and security improvements, including panic buttons and related equipment. The grant has a stated annual limit of $40,000 and uses reimbursement. They also approved an SRO agreement between the Grant County Sheriff’s Department and Oak Hill United School Corporation; the school applies for a grant each year to cover more than half of the deputy’s cost. The Health Department and Emergency Management Agency received approval for an agreement to purchase two portable oxygen distribution systems for $10,300, paid from Health Department carryover HFI funds.

The commissioners approved digitizing 61 surveyor’s books for a quoted $6,672, but the surveyor’s office lacks funds, so the expenditure must go to the County Council for funding. They also endorsed planning to expand LifeStream Services’ rural public transit program into Grant County through INDOT’s 5311 program; any county financial commitment would be considered later for 2028, with no amount set at this meeting. Routine reports noted ongoing county paving and culvert work, but no related purchasing action was recorded.
