The Boone County Commissioners convened on May 19, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including traffic safety measures and administrative reports.

The meeting began with a discussion regarding the installation of speed limit signs near the ongoing Lilly project. A quote was presented for signs that would provide feedback to motorists about their speed. The proposed signs, which include radar technology, are intended to enhance safety as traffic patterns change due to construction. The commissioners noted that residents had requested these signs, and it was confirmed that the cost of $18,850 would be reimbursed by the Lilly group, who had previously funded similar signs on the north side of the project. The commissioners agreed to move forward with the order for the signs and plan to draft an ordinance to officially set the speed limit at 35 miles per hour on the affected roadways.

Following this, the commissioners reviewed the 2024 annual financial report, which is a requirement for highway state compliance. The report, which involves extensive documentation and coordination with the auditor's office, must be executed by June 1. The commissioners unanimously approved the report for submission.

The meeting also included appointments to the insurance and compensation committees, with Amber Choate being nominated and approved for both positions.

In conclusion, the Boone County Commissioners addressed important safety measures related to traffic management and fulfilled necessary administrative obligations, ensuring compliance with state requirements and enhancing community safety. The next steps include finalizing the speed limit ordinance and submitting the financial report by the deadline.
