Starke County Council Reviews Request for Jail CEDIT Fund Additional Appropriations

The Starke County Council heard from Starke County Sheriff Bill Dulin and Matron Pam McDonald during their meeting this week.

Matron McDonald informed the council the Sheriff’s Department has certain accounts within the Jail CEDIT Fund that are currently negative. She, along with Sheriff Dulin, asked the councl to approve additional appropriations for the negative accounts.

Starke County Auditor Rachel Oesterreich told WKVI News that she will need to have the request published 10 days prior to the council’s next meeting October 17. She added this must be done before final approval can be made by the council.

The council took the request under advisement and plan to consider the additional appropriations at their next meeting in October.
