The Blackford County Council reviewed County General budget line items at its Aug. 6, 2025 workshop. The minutes state the commissioners’ allocation will receive an additional $33,000 for Longevity Pay while the Elections voting machines line will be reduced by $27,000.
The minutes further note that the Longevity Pay and Salary Ordinance will need to be changed to reflect the adjustments.
