The Christian County Board met for their regular December board meeting. Newly elected Board Chairman Matt Wells led the meeting. Wells announced that both Mike McClure and Clark Pearce had resigned their positions.  One of the big topics of discussion was a request for a light on the speed limit sign in the village of Assumption. Candace Smith, joined under public comments to note her concerns over the speeding through town. 

A motion was put forward to add more signs and to send it back to committee to figure out the way to do it.

It was asked to have a higher presence from the Sheriff’s Office to help limit the number of speeders going through Assumption. The motion passed. 

Matt Wells discussed the courthouse fountain replacement.

Discussion was held about the cost of this project and an estimate was at no more than $5,000 for the cost. The motion was approved. 

A proclamation was made by the County to recognize December 19th as Charles DeClerck day. DeClerck sat on the County Board for over 25 years.
