Board packet recommends reappointment to tax commission and 1.5% tax-collector pay increase starting 2026–27
Summary
The administration recommended reappointing Lou Palilla to the Indiana County Tax Collection Commission (alternate Sandy Gandolfi), accepting a Department of Agriculture grant with matching funds up to $8,000, and setting a 1.5% annual increase to tax collector compensation beginning in fiscal year 2026–27 for four years.
Business Manager Richard Martini presented business affairs items in the Jan. 13 board packet, including a recommendation to reappoint Lou Palilla as the district representative to the Indiana County Tax Collection Commission with Sandy Gandolfi as alternate. Martini also recommended accepting Department of Agriculture grant funds and authorizing matching funds up to $8,000, with the administration noting matching funds will come from the curriculum budget.
Separately, administration recommended setting a 1.5% per‑year increase to current compensation rates for the Marion Center Area School District tax collectors, effective with the 2026–27 fiscal year for a four‑year period. The minutes list the recommendation but do not record a separate roll-call vote on the tax collector compensation policy in the publicly posted summary; the item was presented for board action as part of business affairs.
