An adjustment to Pulaski County’s building department fees will be discussed by the county commissioners tonight. Building Inspector and Plan Administrator Doug Hoover is expected to present a recommendation from the advisory plan commission. Meanwhile, a plan to once again go after unpaid EMS bills will be discussed by EMS Director Brandon DeLorenzo.
The commissioners are also expected to make a decision on county employees’ health insurance. If they keep the benefits the same, the cost will increase by more than $200,000. This comes as the county faces a possible $2.5 million annual budget shortfall by 2022. If the commissioners decide to make adjustments, employees would only have until August 1 to enroll in a new plan.
In other business tonight, the commissioners will choose a construction contractor for a bridge replacement project on County Road 400 East over Mill Creek. The county got four bids for the work. They came in a little higher than expected, ranging from just over $561,000 to more than $817,000.
The commissioners will also discuss paving bids for the Winamac ambulance garage parking lot and make an appointment to the Francesville-Salem Township Public Library Board. Circuit Court Judge Mary Welker will give updates on grants and a mobile court reporting system.
Tonight’s Pulaski County Commissioners meeting starts at 6:00 EDT at the Pulaski County Highway Garage.
