The Starke County Commissioners reviewed requests from the Emergency Management Agency (EMA) Advisory Board when they met Monday night.
The board members requested that the EMA director be considered as a full-time position. The commissioners agreed to keep it as a part-time position for now and revisit it as they see how things work out with the new director.
The EMA Advisory Board members also asked to assign a vehicle to the EMA director. The vehicle to be assigned to the EMA director would be an old pickup truck previously utilized by the Highway Department. The commissioners decided to wait until a highway superintendent is hired before they adjust vehicle assignments.
They also mentioned that an ADA coordinator needs to be in place by July 1. A candidate was suggested to take that spot until December 31 but the individual would need to attend the necessary classes and be certified by July 1.
