Jennings County council pledges $20,000 from riverboat fund for library 'Wow' bus wrap
Summary
The county council approved a $20,000 pledge from the riverboat fund to support exterior branding for the county library’s Wow/Wild bus, with the library offering vendor details and the council noting the request will be routed through existing budget processes.
The Jennings County Council approved a $20,000 pledge from the county’s riverboat fund to cover exterior branding and related costs for the public library’s mobile “Wow” bus.
Mary, a library representative who spoke during the public comment period, said the library has already submitted materials and asked the council to restore a previously recommended donation. “We came last month...we're directed to go to the commissioner and be approval for a donation,” she said, adding the vendor for the exterior work is Imagination Graphics.
Council members discussed where to draw the funds; Speaker 6 proposed using riverboat dollars and moved the motion, which received a first and second and was put to a voice vote. The council did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript.
The council president confirmed the auditor will note the appropriation and the documents will be routed for signatures. The council also said the request will be integrated with ongoing budget conversations and any final allocation will follow existing appropriation procedures.
The action follows an earlier recommendation the commissioners had made; the library representative asked to return to the agenda after prior consideration and to be placed on the public record for the pledge.
