The Porter County board voted to continue its temporary 5% spending policy for one more year after advisers presented scenarios showing how one-time withdrawals would affect the county’s portfolio.
Chair asked members to move the policy: “So we need a motion to pull out 5%,” and a motion and second were recorded. The vote was taken by voice/roll call and the chair declared, “Motion carries.” Board members discussed using the temporary funds to continue road work and to cover the ambulance contract for the upcoming year.
Investment staff and members said they will model short-term cash impacts and repayment timing if the county borrows or draws from the portfolio, and return with a concise summary for the board. The vote followed discussion that the temporary increase is intended to bridge program needs until longer-term revenues or reimbursements arrive.
