County legal drafted the resolution and the board voted 2-0 to approve the donation.

County legal counsel Jeff Cockrell prepared the resolution for the commissioners’ office. The resolution states the vehicle will be donated \"as is,\" that the commissioners make no warranty as to its functionality for any purpose unless the commissioners or the county administrator provide written agreement, and that the department must return the vehicle and title to the commissioners by January 2026 unless a different date is agreed in writing.

Commissioner Lynette Hillroom moved the resolution. Commissioner Madera voted in favor; Commissioner Jones was absent. No public comment was recorded on the donation.

During discussion the board asked how the January 2026 return date was chosen. County legal said the original idea was to have the vehicle through 2025 and that the county is scheduled to review the Bean Blossom fire district structure by the end of the year; the January 2026 date was presented in the draft resolution to align with that review. No amendment to the return date was made during the meeting.","The board approved a resolution donating a 2016 Dodge Durango to the Stinesville Bean Blossom Volunteer Fire Department, with the vehicle given \"as is\" and a requirement to return the vehicle and title to the county by January 2026 unless otherwise agreed in writing.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":79,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6266841,"Monroe County approves right-of-way agreement for Rockport Road Bridge No. 308, 80/20 INDOT split",146,32000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3085303-cd875d2b57814b996e3e23c93ea70768&start=32&end=178","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3085303-cd875d2b57814b996e3e23c93ea70768/thumbnail_32000.jpg","/articles/6266841/Monroe-County/Indiana/Monroe-County-approves-right-of-way-agreement-for-Rockport-Road-Bridge-No-308-8020-INDOT-split","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6266841-f32f3c4ff9e549634c183a38f06c5b7e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771178872&Signature=dzwCSLwY2ooB7w4vIHU2W5tY5PQqOWbd7Qund729avIAmZm0TTpkGHCvNKbNtOAoItmYRaaynZQ1gFJlUIeiuSp22AD0wcHMRQWGLyqU7Nqikzqhv-1kU-OxI13~1n7iNJtqDtRr~Sw9PWx~LhrRFugX44LXPp6ThwIAcz320PAjiRAVLFXoor7iJkOeMuWG~Jg5O5RLiXLyjkKeEMp6wdVlC4Vu4BP73N8OKe2dh08iZ9X77yzg9iOYR98iEFh876IwacVct1wZOPFOg~qbel4aN6jOJqIcbTqEuwF0GO5iiP4VKgUV~sJIJSx5R1ag9NA3LETSzbjXlEHkGX~odA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monroe County Board of Commissioners voted to approve an agreement with the Indiana Department of Transportation for right-of-way acquisition for the Rockport Road Bridge No. 308 replacement, funding the county’s 20% share and allowing the county to submit paperwork within INDOT’s fiscal deadline.

County Highway staff said the estimated acquisition cost is $85,000, with INDOT covering 80% ($68,000) and the county 20% ($17,000). Highway staff said if the agreement is not executed within INDOT’s fiscal deadline, the county would be responsible for the full $85,000 cost.

Commissioner Lynette Hillroom moved the motion to approve the agreement, specifying fund number 1135 for the county match. The motion was approved 2-0; Commissioner Madera voted in favor and Commissioner Jones was absent. The board noted they may need to ratify the agreement at a later meeting if final signatures require it.

Highway staff said the agreement was received by the county only the day before the meeting and that the county’s signature and DocuSign routing were needed promptly to meet INDOT’s timeline. No public comment was offered on the item.

The board did not vote on any amendments and did not direct additional study; staff will proceed with executing the agreement and returning to the board for any required ratification.","The Monroe County Board of Commissioners approved an agreement for right-of-way acquisition for the Rockport Road Bridge No. 308 replacement, with an estimated acquisition cost of $85,000 split 80% INDOT / 20% local; the county will cover the full amount if the INDOT fiscal deadline is missed.","actionData","errors"]
