Summary
The court approved a series of routine and project motions including a $750 tourism donation, a one‑year public‑notification contract, use of flex funds to blacktop county roads, first reading of a road‑adoption ordinance and authorization to apply for a private grant.
The Spencer County Fiscal Court recorded these formal actions on Feb. 17. Vote methods were recorded as voice votes unless noted.
- Tourism donation: Approved donation of $750 to the America250 civic event for ceremonial lighting of two lamps (motion by Zach; second by Dan). Outcome: approved by voice vote.
- Public notification contract: Contracted Inspiron Logistics (replacement mass‑notification provider) for a one‑year service at the quoted price of $4,990 (motion carried by voice vote).

Outcome: first reading approved; second reading to follow at a future meeting.
