Hardin County board approves routine permits, subdivision and part‑time dispatch hire
Summary
The Hardin County Board of Supervisors approved routine agenda items including two utility permits, a subdivision, authorization for a representation letter on an Alden Township cemetery grant, and a part‑time dispatch hire; all motions carried by voice vote with no roll‑call tallies recorded in the transcript.
Hardin County Board of Supervisors approved a slate of routine items at its meeting, including two utility permits, a subdivision in section 33, authorization for the chair to sign a representation letter for an Alden Township cemetery grant, and a request to add a part‑time dispatcher.
The approvals were largely procedural: a board member moved and another seconded each item; discussion was limited and each motion carried by a voice vote. County staff noted the Alden Township grant application requires the county’s REIN number and that the utility work will follow agreements with Midland Power Cooperative.
Votes at a glance: the board approved the day’s agenda and the minutes from April 29, 2026; it approved claims for payment dated May 6, 2026; it authorized the chair to execute a representation letter for an Alden Township cemetery grant; it approved utility permit UT 2026‑09 (Mloud USA Telecom Services LLC) to relocate roughly 114 overhead poles and bury the line under Midland Power Cooperative’s agreement; it approved UT 2026‑10 (Midland Power Cooperative) to bore across the right‑of‑way south of 11959J Avenue to serve the Goldfinch housing development; it approved a subdivision request for section 33 after a presentation that noted prior zoning‑board approval; and it acknowledged a sheriff’s request to hire a part‑time dispatch position proposed to start in May 2026.
Board members moved and seconded each item; the transcript records voice votes with “I” responses and the clerk’s announcement that motions carried but does not include named roll‑call tallies. The board also acknowledged the sheriff’s and recorder’s reports for April 2026.
The subdivision presentation was led by Taylor, who said the zoning board had already approved the split and that the proposal would create additional house lots with access and utilities in place; the board moved to approve the subdivision. The transcript contains inconsistent township names in that discussion—one speaker said “Sherman Township” and later the motion referenced “Truman Township”; that discrepancy is noted in meeting records and should be confirmed with county staff if used for filing or permitting.
No formal controversies or prolonged debates were recorded on these agenda items; each item passed by voice vote. The meeting then moved to public comment.
