Summary
The county council unanimously approved Resolution 2025-R12 on Dec. 17, 2025, to move $200,000 into Blackford County’s rainy day fund. The measure passed by roll-call vote 5–0.
Blackford County’s council voted unanimously Dec. 17 to move $200,000 into the county’s rainy day fund under Resolution 2025-R12. The chair introduced the measure and a motion to approve was made by Kyle O'Sheen and seconded; the roll-call vote was 5–0 in favor.
The transfer was presented as a routine year-end financial housekeeping action. “We had agreed to transfer $200,000 into the rainy day fund,” the chair said during the introduction of the resolution. Council members voted by roll call, and the moderator announced the resolution “passes 5 0.”
Why it matters: placing the funds in the rainy day reserve increases the county’s general fund flexibility for unplanned costs or revenue shortfalls and preserves eligibility for certain state grant considerations tied to fiscal health.
