Parke County board moves to consider adoption of 2027 budget ordinance No. 2026-14

Parke County officials reviewed the 2027 budget Form 4 and said the numbers, levies and rates had been verified after an earlier problem with the form. The Chair said the county "have a good form 4 now" and asked for a motion and second "to adopt ordinance number 20 26 dash 14, which is the 2027 Park County budget." The motion and a second were recorded on the transcript and the Chair called for "all in favor." The transcript does not include a roll-call or a named tally.

The Chair said votes on the budget are expected in October, though a motion to adopt the ordinance was moved during the session as recorded in the transcript. The article notes the transcript’s omission of a formal vote count; reporters seeking confirmation should consult the county clerk’s official minutes or the ordinance record for a complete tally.
