Commissioners approve appointments and community event closures, update ordinance fee language
Summary
The board tabled a cemetery-board appointment, approved 9-1-1/communications board nominees contingent on a town council's approval, rescheduled a Stateline Hill Cleanup, approved parade road closures contingent on the sheriff, and amended code language to align a real-property endorsement fee with a prior ordinance change.
At its May 6 meeting Dearborn County commissioners handled several administrative items, approving a set of nominations and event dates and cleaning up a code section to reflect an earlier fee increase.
The board voted to table appointment of a cemetery-board member until its May 20 meeting.
Commissioners approved nominations of Josh and Katie (full names not recorded in the transcript) to the county's 9-1-1 communications board and approved Dave Westman to that board contingent on approval by the West Harrison Town Council.
The board approved a motion to reschedule the Stateline Hill Cleanup to May 30, 2025, and approved permission for the Bridal Area Business Association's Bridal Parade road closures on July 27, 2025, contingent on Sheriff McHenry's sign-off.
County staff and the commissioners also approved a technical amendment to the code of ordinances to align Section 37.5 (fees for real-property endorsements) with a fee change previously adopted in 2019. The language clarifies that the auditor's office charges the endorsement fee per deed and replaces a reference to plat books with property-tax records in traditional or electronic format.
Separately, the board authorized the chairman to sign a previously described support letter for a housing expansion (recorded elsewhere on the agenda), approved claims, payroll and meeting minutes and scheduled an online county auction with Vestal Auction for late May or early June.
All motions on these administrative items passed with the board recording "Aye" and "Motion carries" where noted.
