Commissioners confirm zoning alternate, approve gazebo uses and finalize routine claims
Summary
The board appointed Jack Green as an alternate to the county Board of Zoning Appeals, approved two courthouse gazebo facility requests (Darla Heinen for a child‑abuse‑awareness proclamation on April 9 and Kim Sidor for the Saint Paul Palm Sunday start on March 29), approved payroll and accounts payable, and approved previous meeting minutes.
The Whitley County Board of Commissioners took several administrative actions during its Feb. 17 meeting.
Appointment: The board formally documented the appointment of Jack Green as an alternate member of the county Board of Zoning Appeals; his term is concurrent with his appointment as an alternate on the county Plan Commission. The board approved the appointment as presented.
Facility requests: The board approved a request from Darla Heinen (DCS) to use the courthouse gazebo for a child‑abuse‑awareness proclamation by the mayor on April 9, 2026 at 10:00 a.m.; maintenance, security and EMA had reviewed and signed off on the request. The board separately approved a request from Kim Sidor of Saint Paul of the Cross Catholic Church to use the gazebo on March 29, 2026 from 10:00–10:30 a.m. for the start of Palm Sunday services; that request also had maintenance, security and EMA sign‑off.
Finance and minutes: After reviewing payroll and accounts‑payable records — during which the chair noted a 15‑foot battery cable purchase explained by Highway Director Ryan Gess as a spool used across multiple jobs — the board approved payroll and accounts payable claims. The board also approved minutes from the Feb. 2, 2026 meeting.
Public comment: The chair opened public comment, reported no members of the public were present, and adjourned the meeting.
