Vigo County commissioners approve wide slate of board appointments and reappointments

The commissioners approved a large slate of appointments and reappointments across county boards and commissions.

Among items announced and approved were reappointments for the Prairie Heights and Prairie Creek Fire Protection District boards (Carrie Hunt, Paul Fouts, Justin Cochran, David Cochran); reappointments and appointments to the Vigo County Area Planning Commission and multiple reappointments to the county drainage board (including Tammy Allen, Evan Miller, Mike Morris, Bobby James, Mike Terrell, and Larry Robbins). The board also noted reappointments to the tax board of appeals (Karen Nassar, Jim Donahue), members of the county redevelopment commission (including Mary K. Pfister and Tyler Dinkle), Commission and Tourism Board reappointments, and an appointment to the Terre Haute International Airport board of directors.

The chair stated that most county appointments are two-year terms. Specific appointments also included an ADA coordinator reappointment for Tammy Allen and Larry Robbins for two years, a veterans assistant reappointment, reappointment of the county EEO officer, reappointment of the county maintenance supervisor, and reappointment of the county attorney firm. The meeting record lists many names and the corresponding boards; commissioners agreed to vote on the slate together and approved the appointments by voice.

Several names in the spoken record had inconsistent spellings in the transcript; the meeting record indicates the board approved the listed slate of appointments for the year. The board then moved on to public comment and departmental reports.
