The North Judson Town Council is finalizing a job description for a compliance officer. The part-time employee will work under the supervision of the town marshal and will issue warnings and citations for tall grass and other code violations.
Interim Town Marshal Frank Thomas previously suggested the council consider adding such a position to allow the police department to focus on fighting crime.
Council members agree they want the compliance officer to live within the town limits so he or she will have a vested interest in keeping the community clean. They charged town attorney Justin Schramm with preparing a formal job description and will consider it along with wages at their June 5th meeting.
