Grant County Commissioners on Feb. 17 approved a series of ordinances, contracts and routine reports during a regular meeting that included public comment on local transportation studies.
The board adopted Ordinance No. 3‑2026, which establishes procedures for county contract review and approval in accordance with Indiana Code 36‑2‑2.9, after staff and the county attorney explained the measure is intended to reduce the risk of unauthorized spending. “An ordinance authorizing county officers, department heads, and county employees to take action on county contracts in accordance with Indiana Code 36‑2‑2.9 and establishing procedures for contract review and approval” was read into the record and approved by voice vote.

The meeting also included routine approvals for fuel and material bids (fuel awarded to Dawson and Keystone Cooperative; stone awarded to IMI and Rock Creek), an IT update on Zoom room installations, and a central dispatch equipment lease for six chairs at $5,195.52 per year.
