Daviess County Commissioners Award Highway Bids, Establish Madison-VanBuren Fire District

The Daviess County Commissioners had several end-of-year items on the agenda for Tuesday morning’s meeting. The Commissioners received recommendations on awarding the county’s annual Highway Department bids from Superintendent Chris Winkler. As in the past, Winkler recommended multiple awards for several categories. The multiple bid awards give the county leeway in the event of a supply shortage or other supply chain disruptions during the construction season. The commissioners accepted Winkler’s recommendations. The Commissioners also renewed the county’s contracts with the Daviess County Economic Development Corporation and the Purdue University Extension. In other business, the Commissioners approved an ordinance establishing the Madison-VanBuren Fire District. The Commissioners also approved nominees for the board of trustees of each of the three new Fire Protection Districts in the County. The Commissioners also heard a request from the City of Washington for an easement through the Red Door parking lot as part of the City’s sewer system upgrade. Mayor David Rhoads explained the project, which is scheduled to break ground next fall. The Commissioners were supportive of the request but tabled action to talk with the DSI Red Door staff. The Commissioners also reported on their meeting with the Amish Safety Committee. 3,000 buggy permits were issued this year. Next year’s proposed permit fees are $225 per buggy and $125 for pony carts. Final approval was tabled until the next meeting to give the Safety Committee time to discuss the changes with the Amish community. The Commissioners also approved the 2027 commissioners meeting schedule and the county holiday schedule. Due to several empty slots, the commissioners tabled action on the 2027 appointments. The next commissioners meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 24.
