From the Blackford County Commissioners meeting on October 19, 2026

Blackford County commissioners selected a salt-shed fencing proposal in a 2–1 vote, but the amount discussed in the motion differed from the discounted price presented by Highway Superintendent Pluimer.

Pluimer reported a $9,510 quote with a $510 repeat-customer discount, producing a $9,000 net price. The motion referenced $9,510. A competing quote from A-Rod Fencing was $11,000.

The fence would secure the back lot. Pluimer said the salt-shed building and interior asphalt were complete, while exterior asphalt and the approach still needed work. The selected contractor's name and the final county payment remain unconfirmed.
