The North Judson Town Council is considering the future of the code enforcement officer position. Council President John Rowe announced last week that Kerry Rust has resigned from the position, and an executive session was scheduled to discuss how to move forward.
“I know that there’s some of us that maybe have a little stronger opinion than others about the position itself and if we need it or we don’t need it,” Rowe said. “So we need to discuss all that and lay it out there.”
The part-time position was created back in 2017, as a way to allow the police department to focus on fighting crime. Rust had served as code enforcement officer since 2019.
