County highway staff said the state will replace four culverts as part of a project to add an additional passing lane, and that the official detour is lengthy. The county's unofficial local detour was identified as 650 West and 250 South, roadways the county maintains and expects to receive a large volume of redirected traffic for about 20 days.

Staff told commissioners they coordinated with the state and requested dust control for the gravel sections because of the anticipated spike in traffic and noted that the state will reimburse the county only for expenses incurred on a single route. The presenter said one of the local roads is gravel and residents can expect hundreds of vehicles per day using that surface during the closure, increasing wear and resident inconvenience.

Commissioners voted to execute the letter of understanding with INDOT. Staff said the detour will require temporary barricades and traffic management and reiterated that reimbursement from INDOT would be limited to one designated county route.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Boone County Commissioners Meeting 05-19-2025","oneSentenceSummary","Boone County agreed to a letter of understanding for an unofficial local detour using county roadways after INDOT scheduled a 20-day closure on State Road 32; staff warned of increased gravel-road traffic and limited reimbursement.","taxTitle","Boone County, Indiana","taxId",52300,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6226696,"Boone County names Title VI coordinator to meet federal requirements, freeing highway grant funds",186,1014000,1200000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3503987-a16bb300816ce79b1fc49c44c01ca197&start=1014&end=1200","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3503987-a16bb300816ce79b1fc49c44c01ca197/thumbnail_1014000.jpg","/articles/6226696/Boone-County/Indiana/Boone-County-names-Title-VI-coordinator-to-meet-federal-requirements-freeing-highway-grant-funds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6226696-ef744d016af884430833adc9cab269f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771135232&Signature=i4Wntp~ZBPHeZhZrF9DA8yAgCjlzY0Id7W7S4hHKrfO3b1hJK-HEEJ-UJyi2q6bHzZQcDpFJ7M50h2EKGVHSLGZ5a4uxKobnCsL0zew5O61SoYvEpEMn-Htc80K9zVOeyrYtwCqDjtLDMgDwCliYOUxU5s~FNwUDhJ5HSOGnIc8UP8Jz4b-u6dPMlqoL3YHPpzskh0urzw33CRKrgcpE73xob5TvJXBX3SdJ8DIUt5-NFv3KrD0kc3zo-w8Wb6LMR4H4NfXu3sh6Ga01DONhuRfNbyuGJ0clKjN9BHafFqXZynYJMbzZZUGgN6SAxMrs3MuTfcCbisM26qYSlFwOYg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Boone County commissioners voted to designate Beth Copeland as the county's Title VI coordinator, a move county staff said is necessary to secure federal transportation funds passed through the Indiana Department of Transportation.

County highway staff told commissioners the county cannot receive one of two federal awards until it has formal Title VI and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance documents and a named Title VI coordinator on file with the state. Staff said the county previously relied on a variety of positions to handle Title VI duties and that the role must be a named individual listed on federal application materials.

The county's highway representative described the Title VI role as an individual who will work with MDOT/INDOT attorneys, provide training, accept and process discrimination complaints, and submit required reports. The presenter said the missing coordinator was holding up the release of federal funds for a highway project awarded in November and that other local agencies had received similar notices.

A commissioner moved to appoint Beth Copeland to the Title VI coordinator role; another commissioner seconded the motion and the board approved it by voice vote. Commissioners discussed that the Title VI coordinator should be able to work across county departments and assist with documentation submission to the state.

The action was presented as a compliance step tied directly to eligibility for federal transportation funds; staff framed the appointment as an administrative remedy to an external federal requirement rather than a new policy change.

Commissioners did not state an implementation timeline beyond the appointment. Staff indicated the coordinator will work with the state attorney contact to complete the Title VI and ADA documentation required for the federal-awarded project.","County commissioners appointed Beth Copeland as Boone County's Title VI coordinator after staff said federal funding from INDOT requires ADA and Title VI compliance.
