Summary

At its Sept. 2 meeting the Dearborn County Board of Commissioners approved acceptance of a subdivision street into county maintenance, authorized county counsel to sign a stipulation of dismissal related to a Crane Ware lawsuit, approved an iWork service agreement, and carried routine claims, payroll, minutes and health department grants.

The Dearborn County Board of Commissioners unanimously approved several motions and routine items during its Sept. 2 meeting.

Accepted subdivision street into county maintenance: The board accepted Merefield Point Phase 1 (approximately 0.16 mile) in the Sugar Ridge Development subdivision into county maintenance following a recommendation from a county inspector. A motion was made and passed by voice vote.

Authorized attorney to execute litigation dismissal: Commissioners authorized Mark Cranley of Barnes & Thornburg to execute a stipulation of dismissal related to litigation involving a former hospital IT contract and a company identified in the meeting as Crane Ware. Staff summarized that the county had previously been removed from active litigation by a federal court injunction and that Saint Elizabeth and the other company reached a settlement that requires the county to execute a dismissal because county answers had included cross- and counterclaims. The motion to authorize Cranley to sign the stipulation carried.

Approved iWork service agreement: The board approved an additional service agreement with iWork as presented; commissioners said prior requested edits had been made. The motion carried.

Routine approvals: Commissioners approved claims, payroll, the Aug. 19 minutes and two health department grants (the president authorized to sign the grants). Each motion was carried by voice vote.

All items above were approved by voice vote; no recorded roll-call tallies were provided in the transcript.
