Commissioners approve seven-day loan of road-widening equipment to Bartholomew County
Summary
The board approved Resolution 2025-549 to loan road-widening equipment to Bartholomew County for seven days after Bartholomew's equipment failed; terms require Bartholomew to adopt a similar resolution and hold responsibility for damage and insurance.
County staff asked the board to approve Resolution 2025-549 to loan a road-widening (shoulder) attachment to Bartholomew County for seven days after equipment failure in that county. Staff said no money will change hands; Bartholomew County must adopt a substantially similar resolution to make the loan effective, and Bartholomew will be responsible for any damage to the equipment and for insurance while it is in their possession.
Commissioner discussion confirmed the loan duration is seven days and that Bartholomew will assume liability for damage. A motion to approve the resolution was made and the board approved it by voice vote, 3-0.
The action allows immediate inter-county cooperation to avoid project delays while preserving county protections against loss and liability.
