Appointments Made To County Boards
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Kosciusko County Commissioners Ron Truex and Avis Gunter met Tuesday to appoint new members to county boards for 2006.
Cynthia J. Thornburg was reinstated to the Turkey Creek Township Library Board, and Richard Shipley and Gerald "Jake" Bitner will remain on the Property Tax Assessment Board of Appeals. John Elliott and Jan Carter also were reappointed to the Kosciusko County Recreation and Visitors Commission.
The commissioners selected County Surveyor Dick Kemper over Kelly Easterday for a position on the county's Area Plan Commission, with Truex saying "the expertise of the surveyor was critical" in the decision-making process. Gunter also was named to serve on the commission.
In other issues, Plan Commission Director Dan Richard presented a request from Vasilios Batalis for the rezoning of land to industrial 2 in Wayne Township.
The property, on the south side of CR 100S, 2,400 feet east of CR 325E, consists of 4.22 acres and once was zoned as industrial 2, but changed to commercial in a previous rezoning decision.
"This was an easy transition to go to commercial and back to industrial." Richard said. "The whole area is in transition right now."
Truex and Gunter approved the matter.
In county highway matters, the commissioners approved a request from Highway Department Director Dennis Pletcher for a one-year snow plan agreement with White Tail Run subdivision, located west of Syracuse.
Pletcher reported sand and salt supplies for county road maintenance are currently at acceptable levels.
Commissioner Brad Jackson was absent for Tuesday's meeting. The commissioners' next meeting is Jan. 10. [[In-content Ad]]
