The Daviess County Council continued discussions on the Westgate Bond at yesterday’s meeting.
They came to a final decision that it would be in the best interest of the county to pay off the bond early.
The bond, which totaled over 1.3 million, has been discussed much over the past few months. Paying off the bond early will save the county around $300,000.
The council also approved the $30,000 request from the Health Department for on-going clinic expenses.
The money will come from county Cares Act dollars.
Daviess County Health Nurse Kathy Sullender said the demand for the vaccine has dropped off and that most of the people coming into the Health Department, are there for their second shot.
She also noted that roughly 20% of Daviess County had been vaccinated with most of those individuals being 60 and older.
