# Commissioners Meeting - 11/10/26

Vigo County Commissioners meeting, November 10, 2026: Commissioners approved the claims docket of $763,291.52 for October 30–November 5 and the payroll docket of $1,543,797.12 for October 13–26. They also approved adding the new county clerk to the clerk’s office credit card. No procurement contract awards or bids were identified. Commissioners said they would remove the school-support discussion from the November and December agendas and revisit it after the county salary ordinance is finalized and financial reviews by Crow and Baker Tilly are completed; the Casino Foundation extended its deadline to allow the county more time to assess options for 2027.

The commissioners approved Ordinance 3-26, adding battery energy storage systems as a special exception under the county zoning ordinance. NextEra Energy described a proposed standalone storage project, but the ordinance does not approve the project itself; a site-specific application and further reviews would follow. Public concerns included fire response, groundwater, noise, lighting, and enforcement, and commissioners urged NextEra to address these issues and use local labor. The meeting also approved rezoning for a child care center and for Horizon Health medical-office and related services at a former Rose-Hulman property. These were land-use approvals, not county purchases.
