Continuously serving Kosciusko County since 1854
SOUTH WHITLEY - Council members Glee Eberly, president, Tony Starkey and Tom Rudd began Tuesday's meeting with discussion of town codes.
Bill Easterday, of the plan commission, has assisted in this work. There was a discussion about which computer systems were compatible and how the codes ultimately would be organized.
Attorney Jonathan Myers asked if a description of the town should be included in the work.
Clerk Mitch Winger said it would be a good idea after annexations are complete.
Plans are to annex the Spear subdivision and several other contiguous parcels.
The process will not start until early 2000.
Larry Reynolds, also of the plan commission, asked that an updated map be made available with the zoning boundaries included.
In other business the council:
• Heard Rob Zeigler's workman's compensation claim will go before an industrial hearing council.
