The Starke County Commissioners will open bids for the replacement of the elevator in the Starke County Courthouse today. The county was awarded a grant to conduct the work, but getting bids for the project has been a challenge.
Bids were supposed to be opened last week, but one contractor asked for an extension in order to better prepare the bid with a change in specifications. Commissioner Kathy Norem said Monday night that she received communication that the delay was requested, and she said that would be fine since no bids were received last time, but she did not get a reply. So, she assumed that the bid opening date was still last week. When there wasn’t anyone in attendance to open the bids on Thursday, it was realized that the date was moved to today. Norem apologized for the miscommunication and stressed that the bid opening is set for today at 2 p.m. in the meeting room in the Starke County Annex Building No. 1 in Knox.
In the meantime, Starke County Highway Superintendent Rik Ritzler reminded county officials that 10 pieces of equipment will be sold in an auction at the Starke County Highway Garage on Thursday morning beginning at 9:30 a.m. Anyone who would like to view what’s for sale can go to the highway garage today.

Starke County Election Board Discusses Upcoming Public Test for Voting Machines
Posted on March 29, 2018
Author Jacque Ryan, WKVI
Citizens interested in getting a little bit of “voting practice” in prior to the May Primary Election will be pleased to hear that a test voting day will be held next week.
The upcoming public test for voting machines was discussed during Wednesday morning’s Starke County Election Board meeting. Starke County Clerk Vicki Cooley said the test is being held at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 3rd.
Cooley explained that this test day will be a unique opportunity for individuals to vote as many times as they want since it will just be a demonstration. She said the goal of this event is to allow voters to get comfortable with the machines.
She added that a MicroVote representative and other election officials will be on site to answer any questions.
The test day will take place next Tuesday on the second floor of the Starke County Court House located at 53 E. Washington Street.
