W. Lake's Wilcoxson Disputes Conflict Of Interest Accusations

WINONA LAKE - When do private enterprise and public responsibility clash? At what point does an elected official, who also is involved in community development projects, cross that invisible line into conflict of interest? Brent L.Wilcoxson is president of Winona Lake's town council; he's also a developer in Winona Lake.Many of the decisions he makes as a councilman ultimately affect his livelihood. Charges of conflict of interest began while Wilcoxson was running for town council in 1995.Issues involved include: • Use of town equipment and personnel for work on private property while he was a candidate. • Having the town pave Terrace Drive before his historic homes tour. • Reduction of the sewer rate for the Winona Hotel. Some Winona Lake residents believe Wilcoxson is entitled to his development projects or to serving as town council president.They just think he shouldn't do both at the same time.

The financial situation at the Kosciusko County Solid Waste District is looking down -- again, according to district controller and county auditor Sue Ann Mitchell, board of directors members learned Tuesday. The district found itself at the same low bottom line last year. Although the financial picture is becoming clearer, the April 9 financial report shows $14,061 as an ending balance, with no tax draw until the end of June.The district takes in about $12,830 per month, mainly in the form of tipping fees. Board of directors president Ron Truex is unwilling to charge a per-residence user fee or raise the tax levy until all the accounts are clear. Sue Studebaker, SWD director, expressed concern about how to fund the district next year.She said fees per-household work very well in other counties. Truex suggested instituting user fees - charges for items brought to the KC Depot to be recycled.
