Council ratifies chairman's signature to move $5.3M from Community Fund for investment
Summary
Council ratified Chairman Kyle Nix's signed letter allowing the Harrison County Community Foundation to act on a $5.3 million transfer approved in the 2026 budget; the ratification passed 5–0 with two abstentions by Nix and Castetter.
County Administrator Chad Shireman presented the 2026 Harrison County Community Fund grant request and told the council the Community Foundation had received the January casino transfer and was holding funds pending action. Because the matter was time-sensitive, Chairman Kyle Nix had signed a letter to enable the Harrison County Community Foundation to act at its meeting; the council moved to ratify that signature and the motion passed with a recorded tally of 5 ayes, 0 nays and 2 abstentions (Chairman Nix and Councilwoman Holli Castetter abstained).
The signed letter reflected a $5.3 million request from the community fund that the council approved as part of the 2026 budget process; ratification confirmed the chair's administrative action so the foundation could proceed with its meeting agenda. Council staff indicated the transfer will be processed consistent with the 2026 budget authorization and subject to any remaining administrative steps the foundation requires.
