It was the last regular meeting of the year for the Christian County Board Tuesday night at the Courthouse, and a lot of business was transacted along with a 40-minute executive session in the middle of the meeting to discuss employment issues.

County Board chair Brian Sharp made a number of secondary committee appointments, as well as presenting a couple of ordinances moving ARPA funds to pay for Courthouse window and HVAC projects as well as re-imbursing county employee salaries from December First of 2022 until November 30th of 2023.   All appointments and ordinances were approved.

A zoning variance application from Julie and James Peacock in Buckhart Township, to install a solar array, was OK'd.

Motions were approved appointing Aaron Herkert as Conflict Public Defender and Jarred Rahar as Second Conflict Public Defender.   The Christian County Board approved the lowest bid for fuel for the coming year from Central Commodity F-S, they OK'd the purchase of a used tandem dump truck for the Highway Department and the sale of 2 used tandem dump trucks.  

And, Chairman Sharp reminded county board members and the public, that board meetings start at 6pm rather than 6:30pm as of January First.

After the meeting, Regional Radio News visited with Sharp who told us he has a great board to work with.

Sharp added that the budget, maintenance and projects are all on the radar next year.

And, again a reminder that Christian County Board meetings begin at 6pm starting next month.
