# 11-04-2026 Morgan County Council

The Morgan County Council meeting was held November 4, 2026. Council approved additional appropriations of $469,001 and $34,938 from opioid settlement funds to honor existing contractual agreements with nonprofits providing treatment and prevention services. It also approved several budget transfers: $995.40 for an auditor’s-office laptop; $125 for the coroner’s office; $3,000 from recycling contractual services to equipment; $9,300 from sheriff’s operating supplies to medical services; and $34,000 in jail-related transfers to professional services for medical and mental-health services. Other transfers supported an outdoor warning-siren repair. A cumulative fire-fund appropriation request was presented, but the transcript does not provide the amount or clearly capture the vote.

Council approved a temporary county highway position at $20.40 per hour and passed changes to the 2027 salary ordinance, including a requested county-administrator salary of $116,797. The county administrator reported that the historic courthouse project remains on a February timeline. A commissioner discussed the broader capital program, citing approximately $15.6 million for the final phase, about $2.6 million still to be brought back for completion, and roughly $85 million in capital improvements against $72 million in issued debt; no new project funding vote was recorded. The meeting also included a veterans-services report and 2027 board appointments.
