The Starke County Council members will consider the approval of a job description for a shift supervisor for the Starke County EMS Department when they meet tonight. EMS Director Travis Clary requested support from the commissioners for the four paramedics to oversee operations while he is unable to do so. A $.25 or a $.50 increase for those assuming those duties will also be considered. The council will also determine how to fund two cardiac monitors that were deemed an emergency purchase by commissioners earlier this month. The cost is just over $42,000.
The council members will also consider the purchase of a washer and dryer for the justice center and a dental set up. Surveyor Bill Crase will request permission to set up a set amount for copies and a fund for that revenue. Starke County Economic Development Foundation Executive Director Larry Wickert will present the monthly report and a request for U.S. 30 Coalition payment.
The Starke County Council members will meet at 5:30 p.m. CT tonight followed immediately by the Starke County Commissioners meeting.
Assessor Michelle Snowdon will open reassessment bids, the commissioners will consider creating a fund for park board grant funds, and discuss damage to the annex building due to the sprinkler system. Larry Wickert is expected to deliver a similar monthly report to the commissioners as he is the council members.
Both meetings will be held in the meeting room in the Starke County Annex Building No. 1 at 53 E. Mound Street in Knox.
