Charge For New Ambulance Service Fund Starts In January

NORTH MANCHESTER - General Ordinance No.7 passed unanimously Wednesday, and North Manchester residents will see the $2.50 monthly charge in January. The town council approved the law without dissent during the public hearing. The charge is based on a per-dwelling unit and will pay for the new ambulance service fund.Residents will see the increase on their water bills. In November, local business owners opposed the ordinance's initial wording.Commercial businesses were to be charged $30 per month per water meter.Industrial businesses could have seen a $75 monthly charge. The three tax-exempt organizations - Manchester College, Timbercrest Church of the Brethren Home Inc., and Peabody Retirement Community - stepped in and doubled their monthly contributions.That, in turn, lowered the cost for residents and businesses.

Manchester Sewer Project Will Affect Rates

NORTH MANCHESTER - Sewer rates will rise in North Manchester, but not immediately. Wednesday at the first regular meeting of 2006, members of the Manchester Town Council took the first step in the process of raising sewer rates in the town. "We have no numbers on the real project yet," said Council President Stan Rinearson.He added the town needs to think about how to build funds for operating and maintaining and improving the sewer in the future. At a meeting in December, the board received information about rate increases at different levels.According to the figures, to maintain the sewer at its current level, a rate increase of $5.50 is necessary. Rinearson suggested a rate increase of $6 to help rebuild funds in the sewer budget that have continually decreased since 2002.

City Seeks Grant For Bike, Walking Paths

Warsaw's Board of Works took the first step Friday toward applying for a federal grant to develop a network of local paths that can be used for bicycles, pedestrians, joggers and in-line skaters. At the request of assistant city planner Jeff Noffsinger, the board gave its approval for Noffsinger to apply for a grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation. Noffsinger said federal government funds were available to states for such projects, and Indiana qualified for $40 million. The grant would be for 80 percent of the project cost, and Warsaw would be required to raise the additional 20 percent.Noffsinger said the Bikeway Steering Committee is working on a marketing strategy that would target private entities for the 20 percent and for the engineering fees so tax money would not be used.

Former Suspect Alleges Rights Violation

The city of Warsaw and several area law enforcement officials are named in a tort claim notice that was recently filed by a former voyeurism and burglary suspect and his relatives. Jerald Womack, who was arrested last spring on a voyeurism charge, was joined by his brother and sister-in-law, Tom and Deb Womack, in filing the notice of claim.The claim names Ernie Wiggins as mayor of Warsaw; Craig Allebach, chief of police; Malcolm Gilbert, Winona Lake town marshal; and Kosciusko County Sheriff Al Rovenstine. The Womacks allege in the claim that their civil rights were violated in October 1996 when police entered a home belonging to Tom and Deb Womack.The Womacks were not home at the time, and a neighbor who was taking care of the house let the police officers enter. The notice of claim is usually a first step to filing a lawsuit, Jim Walmer, Winona Lake's town attorney, said Wednesday. He also said the town was not named in the tort claim, just the town marshal.
