Last week Marshall County Commissioner Kevin Overmyer appeared before the County Council to discuss a joint resolution to apply extra funds from the Special Local Income Tax (LIT) intended to pay the jail bond to help fund jail operations.
Legislation says when the jail bond is paid off any excess funds that have been collected should be applied to the Highway Department. Overmyer said they have been talking with legislators and the joint resolution will show support from both the commissioners and council. They will be asking the general assembly to clarify that after the bond is paid the excess proceeds from the Special LIT can be applied to operations at the Jail.
Members of the County Council took time during their final meeting of the year to recognize three members.
Council Vice-President Penny Lukenbill read a resolution from the council for Judith Stone who wasn’t at the meeting Monday.

He told the County Council that the project actually started about two-and-a-half years ago. Scandling said they held a public meeting at the kick-off in July 2018 and again last month via in-person or online. He said they also posted the meeting on social media and it had 463 v
