Warren County's recent meetings included the Board of Inspectors of the Warren County Prison on July 28 and the ATOD/MH/DD Advisory Board on August 4. Both meetings were held on agendas with no minutes published yet, meaning no decisions have been reported. The Planning Commission meeting scheduled for August 4 was cancelled.

Board of Inspectors of the Warren County Prison

The board met July 28. The agenda included approval of the June 2026 meeting minutes, a finance report review, the June 2026 Warden's Report, and employee items. No decisions have been reported because minutes are not yet published.

ATOD/MH/DD Advisory Board

The advisory board met August 4. The agenda included a vote on three new members: Stephanie Hungaville, Amanda Reese, and Tracey Anderson. Three board positions remain open: Physician/Pediatrician, DA/MH client/family representative, and Student. The board also planned to approve minutes from four prior meetings (April 7, May 5, June 6, and July 7, 2026), review treasurer reports for ATOD/MH/DD and CYS, and receive a community and system overview covering waitlists, emerging needs, and policy changes. No decisions have been reported.

Warren County Commissioners Considered SALDO Amendment, Act 13 Funds, and Trail Award

Warren County Commissioners had a full agenda on July 15, 2026, with votes scheduled on a subdivision ordinance amendment, Act 13 funding requests for two municipalities, and a contract award for the Spring Creek Bike-Hike Trail. Minutes from that meeting have not yet been published, so outcomes are not yet confirmed.

Commissioners Public Hearing and Meeting

The Commissioners held a public hearing on July 15 to receive comment on a proposed text amendment to Ordinance 2, the Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance (SALDO). No other business was scheduled for the hearing.

In the regular public meeting that followed, the Commissioners were set to vote on several items:

• **Ordinance 2 SALDO Text Amendment** — the proposed change discussed at the public hearing.
• **Act 13 Sheffield Request and Act 13 Columbus Request** — funding requests under the state's Act 13 program for those municipalities.
• **Notice to Award — Spring Creek Bike-Hike Trail (EADS)** — a contract award for the trail project.
• **CYS System Software Upgrade 2026** — a software upgrade for Children and Youth Services.
• **Reassessment Appeals Settlement Offers** — proposed settlements on property reassessment appeals.

The agenda also listed a consent agenda with routine reports, minutes, and a proclamation, as well as a bonus policy, an IT consulting agreement, and other administrative items. Because minutes are not yet available, it is not known which items were approved, tabled, or voted down.

Blighted Property Review Committee

On July 16, the Blighted Property Review Committee was scheduled to approve minutes from its December 19, 2024 meeting and to review a property at 19 Anchor St., Clarendon — parcel #WN-868-667700, owned by Darren Brennan. No other actions were listed. Minutes from this meeting have also not yet been published.

What This Means for Residents

The SALDO amendment, if adopted, would change the rules governing how land is subdivided and developed in the county. Act 13 funding decisions affect how impact-fee money from oil and gas operations is distributed to local municipalities. The Spring Creek Bike-Hike Trail award represents a step forward for a recreation project. The CYS software upgrade and reassessment settlement offers involve county spending and property tax matters. Until meeting minutes are published, residents cannot confirm how the Commissioners voted on any of these items.

Coming Up
