By KATE WOLFORD and STACEY LESCH Staff Writers
Despite the fact that Kosciusko County Commissioners came to a county council budget meeting with a completed building commission ordinance, the establishment of the county department has been put on hold. The one page ordinance, which established the commission but included no specific codes was not conclusive enough for the council. "They ■ wanted more details on how it was established,” said County Auditor Pat Brown. The Home Builders Association of Kosciusko County was on hand at the September 5 meeting and. as in the past, supported the establishment of the commission. They also offered assistance in the development of a building commission plan Although no appropriations for the building department were made by the council, for 1990. they did not close the door on the future establishment of the commission.

In another matter, the council appropriated money for the lease of office space in the Syracuse Town Hall, but wants to inquire on the terms of the 19-year contract. The contract was negotiated in 1984 but was not signed until 1989 The council felt that the 1989 terms were different than those discussed five years earlier. The county leased office space for the Turkey Creek Township Assessor from the Town of Syracuse beginning in. 1986. The cost is $12,474. plus 17 percent of expenses and services incurred.

Budget meeting held — Council denies reassessment funds for assessor's salary
By STACEY LESCH Staff Writer
At the annual budget meeting of the Kosciusko County Council, county employees voiced their disgust over salaries claiming that council members are unfair and uninformed of the work that takes place in each office. Larry Teghtmeyer. council president, commented. ’This is an afitepipt, to establish pay for aposi/ion, not fora person." ' z " At the August 10 meeting of the county council, a 4-3 vote was accepted to approve a five percent general increase for county employees. An initial exception to this five percent raise came with the preliminary approval of a 14 percent increase in the salary of the county assessor, Avis Gunter. Since 1980, Gunter has received the same salary as other elected officials. Also, for the past two years, Gunter's salary has included an additional $2,400 from reassessment monies. But the salary exception turned sour for Gunter at the Sept. 5 meeting as council members voted to drop the $2,400 as reassessments are finished, and instead administered a five percent increase on her base salary bf $2.3,296 With the five percent increase, Gunter's salary would reach $24,460.80 — $2,511.60 less than if the reassessment monies were added Bitter with the council’s decision, Gunter said, “All I can say is that you have really degraded me this time." In other matters, council members voted unanimously to appoint a five percent increase in their salaries, adding that last
