A fourth council member, Jerry Frye began his second term at this meeting.

A number of annual appointments were also approved by the council, including: councilman Cullison as a member of the Southern Indiana Development Commission's Board of Director; councilman Harp to the Redevelopment Commission along with Jim Weimer, of rural Solsberry; councilman Frye to the Community Corrections Board and to the Personnel Administration Committee; Council member Jones to the Greene County Economic Development Corporation's Board of Directors and to the Greene County Plan Commission; councilman Huntington to the County Ambulance Service Board and to the Health Insurance Trust Board along with councilman Gene Hall; and councilman Roudebush to the County Solid Waste Management Board.
