Key Items on the Agenda

- Circle of Freedom: Executive Director Kim Crawford is scheduled to present the organization's annual update and request FY27 financial support.
- The Refuge: Executive Director CJ McMurry is scheduled to provide an annual update and request FY27 financial support.
Both requests are identified as requiring Board action. The agenda does not specify requested dollar amounts or proposed funding levels.
City of Corydon Tax Abatement Requests
The City of Corydon is requesting tax abatements involving multiple properties.
One request seeks abatement of all current and future taxes for the following parcels:

- 06240D227002

- 07190A257011

- 07190A257013

Both tax-abatement requests are scheduled for Board action. The agenda does not state the tax amounts involved or provide additional background on the properties.
Wayne County Weed Commissioner
The Board is scheduled to discuss and consider approval of the Wayne County Weed Commissioner. The agenda does not identify a proposed appointee or provide additional details about the appointment.
Courthouse HVAC System Review
The Board is scheduled to discuss and consider approval of a third-party consulting firm to review and inspect the Courthouse HVAC system.
The agenda does not identify a proposed consulting firm, contract amount, scope of work, or project timeline.
Routine County Business
The agenda also includes several recurring administrative matters requiring action:
- Consideration of the August 18, 2026, regular meeting minutes.
- Consideration of the August 28, 2026, payroll.
- Consideration of the September 1, 2026, claim set.
- Consideration of department monthly reports.
- Consideration of the meeting agenda itself.
County Engineer Dillon Davenport is also scheduled to provide an update. Additional agenda time is reserved for general discussion and updates from supervisors on meetings they have attended.
The agenda provides two opportunities for public participation:
- Public comment on agenda items only, with a three-minute limit.
- A later public comments period, with a five-minute limit.
The county states that anyone seeking placement on a future agenda must contact the Auditor's Office by 9:00 AM on the business day before the scheduled meeting.
What to Watch at the Meeting
Several agenda items leave important details for the meeting itself. The packet does not specify the amount of FY27 support requested by Circle of Freedom or The Refuge, the financial impact of the Corydon tax abatements, the proposed Weed Commissioner, or the firm and cost associated with the Courthouse HVAC review.
These items are therefore scheduled for consideration, but the packet does not establish what action the Board will ultimately take.
The official public-body source used for this packet is the Wayne County Board of Supervisors meeting agenda.
