Franklin County commissioners cut line items, defer salaries and resume budget work tomorrow
Summary
Commissioners reviewed department budgets, approved several line-item trims and postponed decisions on raises; major discussions focused on veterans services staffing, sewer-board administration, Purdue extension funding and rising IT/contractual costs.
Bobby Evans, who opened the session, led Franklin County commissioners through a page-by-page budget review and asked staff to prepare cuts to present to budget consultant Reedy the next morning. The board struck or flagged multiple line items for removal and agreed not to resolve salary adjustments during the afternoon session.
The meeting spent substantial time on department requests, including veterans services, parks, the sewer/drainage boards and Purdue Extension. Commissioners noted the county will reconvene at 9:00 a.m. with Reedy to finalize wage and other unresolved items.
