Crime will cost Kosciusko County taxpayers an unexpected $90,000 more this year.
Kosciusko County Council approved two requests Thursday to increase funding for programs to help suspects and criminals.
Superior Court Judge Robert Burner was granted $50,000 in additional money to pay for public defenders.
Sheriff Al Rovenstine was granted $40,000 in additional money to pay for prisoner meals.
In other matters, council agreed to a request an additional secretary in 1996 instead of waiting until 1997. Council earlier this year approved plans to hire a new secretary who will work for the personnel director, the computer systems coordinator and on an emerging computer map project.
Council also appointed Betty Hostetler to the Pierceton Library Board, according to county auditor Charlene Knispel. [[In-content Ad]]
