Commissioners approve payroll and claims dockets, reappoint Brian Short to airport board and vacate alley in Fayette Township

The Vigo County Board of Commissioners approved routine financial items, confirmed an appointment to the airport board and approved an alley vacate ordinance during its meeting.

The auditor presented a payroll docket covering June 26 to July 2 totaling $1,574,630.18 and asked for approval; a commissioner moved and the board approved by voice vote.

The auditor then read a claims docket dated June 26 to July 2 with an amount read in the record as "3,822,406 thousand and 98 cents." The record as read is unclear; commissioners moved to approve the claims docket and the motion carried by voice vote.

The board reappointed Brian Short to the (Turo) International Airport Board of Directors for a four-year term effective July 2026 and expiring 06/30/2030; the certification was read aloud and commissioners approved the appointment by voice vote. The president commented that "Mister Short has been an excellent representative for many years on that board." The transcript does not record a roll-call vote or individual tallies.

On Ordinance No. 10, Mister Barber presented a previously preliminarily approved ordinance to vacate an alley in Fayette Township across from the firehouse, identifying petitioners Paul and Nancy Allsup and noting certified notices to an adjoining property owner and advertisement in the Tribune Star; a commissioner moved to approve and the motion carried by voice vote.

No further formal actions were recorded during the meeting. The board recessed after the public-comment period.
