Monday afternoon's meeting of the Wabash County Commissioners was a brief affair, with little business on the agenda and few county officials in attendance.
County Clerk Janet Will was the only elected county office holder present for the meeting. Treasurer Angela Broster, who was absent, was the only other office holder to submit a report.
Commission Chairman Tim Hocking reported that last week's Board of Review sessions were completed successfully, with commissioners noting the process went smoothly and most issues were resolved without difficulty.
Broster's report noted that mobile home tax bills were mailed this past Wednesday and will be due August 7th. Residents may make payments at the Treasurer's Office or use the drop box outside the courthouse. Broster also reported that excess fees totaling $38,866.40 from the 2024-25 tax cycle were transferred to the county's general fund.
Commissioners also completed their required six-month review of closed session minutes and voted to keep those records sealed.
The board heard a brief presentation from Kevin Kern regarding the Hope Trust conference scheduled for July. Kern encouraged county officials to attend sessions focused on employee health insurance and benefit costs.
In correspondence, Will reported that Animal Control handled 14 dogs, 12 skunks, nine raccoons, one snake, and one bat during May while logging 1,650 miles. She also informed commissioners that the Circuit Clerk's audit had been completed and filed with the County Clerk's Office.
With no old business and no executive session needed, the commissioners adjourned after a relatively short meeting.
