Pulaski County commissioners approve routine business, OK restriction on campaign signs during early voting

Pulaski County commissioners on March 10 approved a series of routine items including minutes, payroll and claims and several county resolutions and contracts.

The board voted by voice on the March 2 regular-session minutes and an executive-session minutes set, then approved payroll and claims batch number 6. Commissioners also adopted Resolution 2026-5, authorizing the sale of tax-sale certificates for properties that failed to sell at last year's tax sale; county auditor Teresa explained the annual practice is intended to return delinquent properties to the tax rolls.

The commissioners authorized staff travel requests, including the county auditor's attendance at the spring conference in Indianapolis and veteran services attendance at a regional CVSO meeting. The board approved an IT contract for elections and a contract form to be signed by the election board, and it approved using the security room across from the clerk's office as an early voting site.

The board also adopted Resolution 2026-2, a county policy restricting political campaign signs on county-owned property during the early voting period, limiting campaign signs to private property and designated campaign offices and directing local election officials to monitor and remove noncompliant signs.

Other formal actions included reappointing two members to the Star City Sewer District board and approving a county-vendor contract presented at the meeting. Most motions were approved by voice vote; no roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript.

The meeting adjourned to convene a separate drainage board meeting.
