The Starke County Commissioners are prepared to offer the EMA Director position to one of the many candidates they interviewed for the opening.

Commissioner Kathy Norem commented that all of the applicants brought a varying degree of strengths that would have worked for what the commissioners had in mind for an EMA Director. Norem thought Danielle Stormy stood out as the candidate that would best fit the role for Starke County. Stormy has a degree in meteorology with a minor in emergency management.

The commissioners unanimously approved a motion to give a conditional offer of employment to Stormy.

The EMA Director position has been vacant since May after the commissioners terminated Jacob Lippner. The county council recently amended the EMA Director’s position to part-time, setting an hourly pay rate from $15.50 to $18.50 for a 20-hour work week. The rate will be decided upon depending on education and experience.
