The Starke County Council members took action last week to approve jail sergeant positions at the Starke County Justice Center.
Sheriff Bill Dulin previously requested the creation of the positions during the second Starke County Commissioners meeting in June. He mentioned that one person will be appointed jail sergeant during the day shift and another during the night shift. Those positions will be paid an additional 45 cents an hour with the funding to come from Therapeutic Community line item.
No new employees will be hired for these positions. A person already working the shifts will be appointed to supervise the jail and the staff members during those shifts.
The Starke County Council members approved the position to be added to the salary ordinance, as recommended by the commissioners. A job description will be added.
