Commissioners approve payroll and accounts payable, authorize community grants and fund a new K‑9
Summary
The board approved payroll and accounts‑payable vouchers (excluding specified legal items), denied an extra jury‑duty payment for a salaried official, approved opioid and community grants (Studio B $25,000; Safe Haven Recovery $25,000; Warrick County Recovers $25,000), and approved $12,000 to purchase and outfit a sheriff's office K‑9.
The Warrick County Board of Commissioners approved several financial and grant items during the meeting. The board approved payroll voucher No. 22 for $689,119.98 and an accounts payable voucher dated Oct. 27 for $1,284,090.90 with counsel advising that four legal services line items be excluded because they do not require commissioner approval. The board also addressed an uncertified jury‑duty voucher ($279.69) for an elected official; commissioners moved to deny the additional jury pay because the official already receives a salary.
On community grants, the board approved opioid‑response funding including $25,000 to Studio B (youth and family services) and approved separate $25,000 awards to Safe Haven Recovery Engagement Center and Warrick County Recovers. The Men and Ladies of Honor application was tabled pending further committee action. Commissioners approved a sheriff's office request to allocate approximately $12,000 to purchase a new K‑9 and equipment/training and accepted animal‑control donations totaling $380.
Multiple community contracts and volunteer fire department requests (amounts listed in the packet) were approved by motion. A pay estimate for the new security center in the amount of $15,972.46 was also approved as part of capital project payments.
