Summary
At its June 2 meeting the Dubois County Commissioners unanimously adopted Ordinance 2025-04 to re-establish four county council election districts, appointed a county engineer to begin June 9, and approved multiple administrative motions including surplus declarations and budget inclusions.
The Dubois County Board of Commissioners on June 2 adopted Ordinance 2025-04 to re-establish four County Council election districts, appointed a new county engineer and approved a series of administrative items, all by motions the board described as carried unanimously.
The board voted to adopt Ordinance 2025-04 as presented, re-establishing county election districts to comply with Indiana Code §3-11-1.5 and I.C. §36-2-3-4 and to align districts with 2020 census data. Clerk Amy Kippenbrock and County Attorney Gregory S. Schnarr presented the ordinance; the board approved it without recorded dissent.
Commissioners appointed Levi Leffert as County Engineer, effective June 9, 2025. The board also approved declaring two Ambulance Department items as surplus — an ambulance defibrillator battery and a 1998 Ford Econoline E450 Super Training Ambulance — as requested by County Auditor Sandra L. Morton.
Other actions carried by motion included:
- Postponing final judgment in Trash Court case 2023-0720-P (Kurt and Cynthia Kippenbrock) to the June 16 meeting to allow the property owner time to remove debris and address compliance recommendations from the Solid Waste Management District.
- Approving inclusion of a $15,000 request from Ride Solutions in the county’s proposed 2026 budget, pending County Council approval; the request was made by Ride Solutions Director Becky Guthrie.
- Authorizing the county to sign a contract with AmericanStructure Point for the County Comprehensive Plan after final legal review by County Attorney Gregory S. Schnarr.
- Approving a change to a highway paving project that relocates a hot mix overlay to 820 East (the change adds a $700 mobilization fee) on a motion presented by Highway Superintendent Donnie Lueken.
The meeting record indicates each motion was seconded and carried unanimously; the minutes do not record named movers or seconders. Where the transcript does not list a mover or seconder, those fields are recorded as not specified in the official motion record. The next regular meeting is scheduled for June 16, 2025, when several postponed items will be revisited.
