The Starke County Council plans to meet with office holders and department heads for a budget planning workshop today (July 15) before full negotiations start this fall.
During the last Starke County Council meeting, President Dave Pearman announced the workshop is planned for today at 10:30 a.m. CT. Starke County Commission President Don Binkley was present at the council meeting and suggested the commissioner meeting scheduled that morning be moved to 9 a.m. CT to allow for more time.
Following the council’s budget workshop, they will meet in regular session where Joann Mizanskey will request additional funding for CASA, and Highway Superintendent Rachel Oesterreich will present a transfer request.
The Starke County Council will meet in the ground floor meeting room in the Starke County Annex No. 1 building at 53 E. Mound Street in Knox.
