The County Council is the fiscal body of Vigo County government: it adopts the county budget, sets tax levies, and approves salaries and appropriations. Seven members serve four-year terms — four elected from districts and three at large.
All meetings are held at the Vigo County Government Center in the Vigo County Council Chambers, 127 Oak Street, Terre Haute, Indiana 47807 unless otherwise noted. All meetings of the full Council are at 5:00 p.m. unless otherwise noted. The meeting schedule will include two meetings per month with the exception of July and December. A meeting (also known as the “Sunshine Meeting”) will be conducted at least one (1) week preceding the Council’s regular business meeting, to discuss, but not vote on, any ordinances or resolutions to be acted upon at its next regular meeting. No other matters may be brought up or discussed at this meeting except for ordinances or resolutions to be considered at the next regular meeting as specified on the Sunshine Meeting agenda. If you have a request to submit for consideration, please file your request by the deadlines.
If you would like to make a presentation during a council meeting and require more than the three (3) minutes or less allowed during public comment, please contact either the Council President or Administrator. Per the adopted rules of the Council, during an initial portion of each regular meeting of the County Council any resident person may be permitted to address the Council only on matters not included on the agenda. The opportunity to address ordinances or resolutions on the agenda is the Sunshine meeting. Requests for presentations should follow the same schedule to file requests for consideration (please review the schedule in the link above).
The meetings are live streamed and archived on YouTube.
