A council member moved to terminate the council attorney, Samantha DeWester, citing loss of confidence and an allegedly adversarial exchange at a prior meeting. The president ruled the motion out of order; the council later sustained that ruling 4–3 on an appeal, leaving no immediate change in counsel.

The council unanimously approved an amended 2026 salary schedule clarifying deputy coroner and election board stipends, approved several appropriations including pretrial screener and assessor funding and a prosecutor relocation request, approved $700,000 for community corrections benefits 6-1, and rejected a Terre Haute warming-center reappropriation 3-4.
