The Starke County Council members and the Starke County Commissioners are planning to meet with office holders and department heads for a budget planning workshop in June before full negotiations start this fall.
Starke County Council President Dave Pearman announced during a recent meeting that the workshop is planned for June 3 at 9 a.m. and it’s anticipated to create discussions on how to trim the budget. He doesn’t think the state will approve a budget like they did in 2018, but cut it again in 2020.
The county had to cut nearly $830,000 from the 2019 budget.
