Votes and actions: Blackford County joint special meeting, Sept. 17, 2025
Summary
Motions recorded at the joint special meeting included appointment of Auditor Lisa Simmons as secretary (motion passed 2-0 among commissioners present), the addition of the sewer-district item to the Oct. 8 council agenda, and adjournment votes recorded for both commissioners and council. No formal contract award for ambulance services was recorded.
Recorded formal actions at the Sept. 17 joint special meeting included a motion by Commissioner Laura Coons to appoint Auditor Lisa Simmons as secretary for the joint special session; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Dan Borgenheimer and recorded as passing 2-0 among the commissioners present at the time. The minutes indicate John Lancaster attended late, so the early secretary appointment vote reflects those present before his arrival.
The meeting record shows the Blackford County Sewer District formation will be added to the County Council agenda on Oct. 8, 2025 for further consideration; no formation vote was taken at the joint session. Commissioners recorded a motion to adjourn at 8:20 p.m. (Borgenheimer moved; Coons seconded; vote 3-0). The County Council separately recorded a motion to adjourn (Kyle Lechien moved; Casey Dick seconded; vote 7-0). Officials also discussed ambulance-service proposals but did not record a formal award or contract at this meeting.
