The Gibson County commissioners approved a resolution setting local income‑tax (LIT) distributions to several townships and fire entities after staff presented the amounts submitted to the county in accordance with state deadlines.

County staff read the allocations aloud: Patoka Township — about $206,000; Union Township — $167,640; White River Township Fire Territory — $34,865; Washington Township — $23,035; and the Owensville Montgomery Fire Connection District — $136,383. Staff said those submissions were timely under state law.

Why it matters: LIT distributions fund local fire protection and other public services; the county’s role is ministerial once entities submit timely requests under state law.

Commission action: a commissioner moved to approve the resolution “as presented,” a second was recorded and the measure passed on a voice vote after no discussion.

Process notes: staff reminded eligible provider units that towns as provider units may be disqualified from particular territory distributions and encouraged units that missed this year’s deadline to apply the next year. The record includes staff confirmation that submissions met the July 1 deadline required by law.

Ending: commissioners directed staff to provide a clean final version of the resolution and to proceed with administrative steps for distribution as required by state statute.
