Summary
Council reviewed department budget requests for 2025, reiterated a previously suggested 2.0% wage increase guideline (except for state‑mandated wages), and scheduled an Oct. 9 public hearing and Oct. 28 budget adoption.
The Dubois County Council conducted a non-binding review of requested 2025 department budgets and reiterated a previously suggested 2.0% wage increase guideline for county employees, excluding positions with state‑mandated wages.
