Commissioners approve library appointment, park event permits and several facility uses

Decatur County Board of Commissioners · September 9, 2026

Summary

The board approved a library board appointment, restroom use for a Sept. 26 train event, Tree City Brewing's concert at Rebecca Park on Oct. 10 (insurance provided), and use of the fairgrounds grandstand by Boy Scouts for bottle-rocket projects in October.

Commissioners approved several community requests and appointments during routine business. The Greensburg-Decatur County Public Library director Brenda Campbell submitted a letter recommending Pam Thackeray for a trustee vacancy; the board moved to appoint (minutes record the action; the recorded name appears as Pam Beckery). The commission approved the City of Greensburg's request to use courthouse restrooms for a downtown train visit on Sept. 26 and granted permission for Tree City Brewing to use Rebecca Park on Oct. 10 for a concert with alcohol service and a DORA permit; the brewery provided a certificate of insurance for $1,000,000.

"Looks good," one commissioner said after review of the brewery certificate; the motion carried by voice vote. The Boy Scouts' request to use the fairgrounds grandstand for bottle-rocket projects on Fridays in October was likewise approved.

The board also authorized signature on a contract for fairground signage recognizing a donation from Obermeyer Agri Group and reminded the public about a county tire collection day (Talks Away Day) limited to tires only because the county's new permanent solid-waste facility will accept other materials later in the year.
