Starke County is once again looking for a new EMA Director.
The latest EMA Director, Joe Williams, has left the position. He was hired as the Starke County EMA Director in mid-November of 2021.
Starke County Commissioner Mark Gourley brought up a concern about the loss of not only an EMA Director, but an ADA coordinator, especially when it comes to grants for the Starke County Highway Department. Some grants require that the county has an ADA coordinator. Highway Superintendent Dan Dipert said the needed paperwork for this quarter was complete.
If applicants are not ADA certified, Auditor Rachel Oesterreich suggested hiring a consultant for necessary work.
Until then, applications for the position are being taken. More information can be found on Starke County’s website at www.co.starke.in.us under the employment tab.
