The Starke County Council members considered a transfer of funds request within the Starke Circuit Court budget.
Council President Dave Pearman noted that there aren’t many of these types of requests from Circuit Court. It was explained that the amount of paperwork, pauper counsel and other costs for several appeals processes are adding up quickly.
The council approved the transfer of about $7,500 to cover costs in the Criminal Appeals and Pauper Counsel line items.
