Council delays Courthouse fountain pump repair, redirects maintenance budgeting to 2026
Summary
Auditor Sandra L. Morton sought $1,734 for Courthouse Fountain pump repair, but quotes showed that amount would not cover the work; the council decided to defer repairs until 2026, budget $1,734 in the maintenance fund and add $8,200 to Courthouse Annex maintenance in the General Fund.
Auditor Sandra L. Morton asked the Dubois County Council on Aug. 25 for an additional appropriation of $1,734 in the Courthouse Fountain Maintenance Fund for pump repair, but after reviewing quotes the council determined the amount would be insufficient.
The council voted to delay the pump repair until 2026, to budget $1,734 in the Courthouse Fountain Maintenance Fund, and to add $8,200 to the Courthouse Annex maintenance budget in the General Fund. The minutes record the budget-direction decision but do not list vendor quotes or a specific repair timeline beyond the deferral to next year.
Councilors recorded the adjustment in maintenance budgeting as a planning step while they await more detailed cost estimates and formal appropriation in the 2026 budgeting process.
