The Hancock County Board of Commissioners voted 2-0 on routine business at its March 24, 2026 meeting. Commissioner William L. Bateson moved to approve the minutes from March 19, 2026; Commissioner Timothy K. Bechtol seconded and the motion passed.
The board approved a travel request for the Sheriff's Office and authorized payment of a $46.54 late fee charged to the Sheriff's Office credit card. The Clerk presented Resolution #192-26 authorizing payment of listed purchase orders; that resolution was approved 2-0. The board then approved three additional appropriations: Resolution #193-26 to appropriate $12,575.17 to Severance Fund #2136; Resolution #194-26 to appropriate $6,187.50 to Ditch Maintenance Fund #2004; and Resolution #195-26 to appropriate $10,160.94 to General Fund #1001, Prosecutor. Each appropriation passed by a 2-0 vote.
The actions leave the board with several small, near-term fiscal items to schedule or monitor, and commissioners were advised to coordinate with the Auditor's Office on budgeting and settlements.
