Starke County Council Members Schedule More Budget Discussions

The Starke County Council members will hear from department heads in a budget workshop on Thursday, July 25. 

Council President Dave Pearman said department heads whom are proposing the same budget for 2020 as in 2019 or have cut funds will not need to attend this meeting since they appeared during a pre-budget meeting to discuss funds.  The sheriff’s budget is expected to be reviewed during Thursday’s meeting along with the EMS department, highway department and the prosecutor’s budget.

The public hearing for the budget will be held Monday, Sept. 16 at 5:30 p.m. with the budget adoption in a special meeting on Monday, Sept. 30 at 5:30 p.m.
