Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
Saturday's election will proceed as planned to determine the fate of the Barbee Lakes Conservancy District.
Kosciusko County Circuit Court Judge Rex Reed handed down his order late Wednesday, finding that the district board has followed statutory provision concerning the receipt of and certification of petitions under provisions of Indiana Code 14-33-16-5 and that the scheduled election is in accordance with the requirements of IC 14-33-16-1.
Reed agreed with defendants, namely the district board members, that the district has not commenced construction of works of improvement in more than 10 years since the adoption of the district plan Aug. 1, 1995, nor has construction begun within six years after the approval of the district plan by the court.
Freeholders may vote "yes" or "no" regarding dissolution of the district from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Barbee Conservation Building.
