County To Add X-Ray Machine To Justice Bldg. Security

More security will be added to the Kosciusko County Justice Building in the form of an X-ray machine at the front security desk. For an estimated $19,000, the county commissioners today approved the purchase of the X-ray machine.Kosciusko County Administrator Ron Robinson said it's the same machine Whitley and Wabash counties use. "It's not fancy," Robinson said, "but it serves its purpose." County commissioner Ron Truex asked, "This is opposed to the honor system?" Robinson replied yes, but the machine will save time when there are long lines to get into the Justice Building and will eliminate the need for attorneys to open their briefcases. Truex said he'd prefer the honor system, but in lieu of that, he made a motion to approve the purchase of the X-ray machine.The motion was approved.

The Warsaw Parks and Recreation Board discussed departmental budgets and reviewed its proposed financial statements for 2007 Tuesday. Department Head Jon Garber explained various increases in the department's accounts, saying the main spikes in this year's budget came from gasoline prices, a new air conditioning unit for the Pete Thorn Center and the purchase and installation of security lights inside Central Park. Along with 3 percent increases in pay for salaried and hourly employees, the main parks and recreation budget totaled $1,579,540, an 8 percent increase from the same budget last year. Garber said additional improvements to the Hire Park BMX track and Center Lake Pavilion are being considered, but funding must be found from other sources not related to the department's budgets.
