The Starke County Commissioners and the Starke County Council met in a joint session Monday night to discuss the proposed jail project.
Council President David Pearman talked about the overall objective of the meeting.
“The overall goal of the meeting was to finally end up with getting the first look at the proposed ordinance that would enable us to utilize the 0.65 percent tax rate,” said Pearman. “However, what we did for the benefit of the rest of council, was basically go through the jail presentation but also, during each slide, kind of give a feel and some flavor of what the public had during our presentations.”
