Jefferson County approved an interlocal cooperation agreement and Resolution 2026-15 under HEA 1461 requiring Madison Township to identify unrestricted excess funds and "transfer 30% of those excess funds into a dedicated infrastructure fund." The measure passed after the township trustee presented the plan.

Jefferson County Commissioners voted to approve an Interlocal Cooperation Agreement with Madison Township and the City of Madison to establish a Roads and Infrastructure Fund under Indiana Code 36-1-7 and HEA 1461. Madison Township Trustee Kevin Fry presented the agreement, which requires the township to adopt an annual capital improvement plan and to "transfer 30% of those excess funds into a dedicated infrastructure fund." Commissioner David Bramer moved to approve the agreement; Commissioner Ron Lee seconded and the motion carried.

Commissioner Robert Little then read Resolution 2026-15, authorizing county officials to execute the agreement, cooperate in infrastructure planning and implementation, and enter project-specific addenda with each township.

The actions were placed on the record and approved by the three-member board.
