Marshall County Council approves multiple appropriations, transfers and new funds ordinance
Summary
Council approved a $2,500 recorder appropriation, $50,000 allocations to eight jurisdictions totaling $400,000, multiple MBH and crisis COAG transfers, and Ordinance 2026‑5 creating two new funds under Indiana statute.
The Marshall County Council voted Feb. 9 to approve a series of appropriations and fund transfers and enacted Ordinance 2026‑5 to establish two new statutory funds.
Key votes: The council approved an additional appropriation of $2,500 from the general fund for recorder clerical wages (motion by Masterson, second by Cox). It also approved allocations of $50,000 each to eight jurisdictions (Argos, Bourbon, Culver, North Township, City of Plymouth, Polk Township, Tippecanoe Township and Town of Bremen), a package totaling $400,000 for public‑safety purposes (motion by Johnson, second by Shattuck). Multiple transfers were approved including a $16.51 small transfer in the recorder’s general fund, a $20,800 transfer within community corrections for professional services, and several MBH fund transfers that reallocated wages and operating lines. The council also approved seven transfers related to Crisis COAG/COVID‑19 workforce lines.
Ordinance: The council passed Ordinance 2026‑5, as required by Indiana statute, to create Fund 2200 (Alternative Dispute Resolution) and Fund 9019 (IOCS Family Court program). The ordinance was introduced and approved by voice vote (motion by Johnson, second by Shattuck).
Procedure and votes: Most actions were approved by voice votes with chair calls for “ayes” and no recorded roll‑call tallies in the meeting record. Where movers and seconders were stated in the record, they appear above; the minutes record motions carried on voice vote for the listed items.
What’s next: The transfers and appropriations will be reflected in the county’s accounting records and incorporated into departmental budgets; staff indicated the process for any background reimbursements (for example, potential insurance reimbursements tied to sewer matters) will flow to the auditor when amounts are known.
The meeting did not list individual vote counts; minutes note motions carried on voice vote unless otherwise recorded.
