At the start of the first meeting of 2026, the Kosciusko County Redevelopment Commission handled routine governance matters: swearing in a member, confirming officers, approving minutes, and renewing legal representation.
The meeting opened with the oath of office for Doug Brown, followed by a motion to retain the existing slate of officers (Chair, Jan as vice president, Dan Theistrup as secretary). The motion was seconded and passed by a voice vote; no opposing votes were recorded.
The commission then moved and approved minutes from the prior meeting by voice vote. Commissioners next discussed legal representation and moved to retain Adam as redevelopment counsel at a retainer fee of $2,000 to be charged to the CCD Redevelopment Legal Services account; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
The meeting concluded after other business and public updates and the commission adjourned by motion and second.
Why it matters: these administrative steps set the commission’s governance and ensure continuity of legal support and recordkeeping for the year ahead.
What’s next: staff will circulate signed oath forms at the meeting’s end and follow up on action items discussed under other business.
