The Vanderburgh County Council approved a special appropriation allowing the Solid Waste District to pay $48,521 for debris‑cleanup costs from March storms, covering both city and county disposal expenses.

Jean Carlson of the Solid Waste District told the council the debris was collected at the former Roberts Stadium parking lot and the 4‑H fairgrounds. She said the city’s cost was $43,160 and the county’s portion was $5,360.79 and that the district would pick up those costs. Council members noted the county highway garage assisted with transportation and that the arrangement saved money compared with private disposal options.

A motion to approve the appropriation was made, seconded and carried on a voice vote. Carlson credited county and city cooperation for keeping disposal costs down and said the district would cover the specified amounts.
