Two Starke County Community Corrections employees will now have access to a debit card for specific purchases.
Starke County Community Corrections Director Shawn Mattraw and Office Manager Jennifer Strickland told the county commissioners last week the bank that holds the organization’s funds allowed the use of a debit card. The card will be used for purchases such as food for offender events or to hold reservations for hotel rooms for conferences and other needs that will be authorized by Mattraw and Strickland.
With the guidelines in place, the commissioners approved a motion to allow Starke County Community Corrections to use a debit card to be used by the strict authorization of Mattraw and Strickland. Fund reports will be reviewed by Auditor Kay Chaffins.
