The Town of North Judson is seeing results with its new compliance officer. So far, Joe Leszek has written about 16 warnings, leading to 12 responses, according to Clerk-Treasurer Alicia Collins. She says the new part-time position has improved communication, when it comes to getting people to cut their grass or move their vehicles, after they’ve been neglected for a length of time.
Additionally, the owner of 214 Lane Street met with the town council Monday to address safety concerns at the building. Collins says the owner plans to fix the exterior and roof. Council members expect to get an update on the progress during their September 5 meeting.

Posted on July 21, 2017
Author Michael Gallenberger, WKVI
North Judson’s new compliance officer is getting to work. Joe Leszek was selected earlier this month to fill the part-time position. Town Marshal Kelly Fisher told the town council Monday that Leszek has been working on addressing issues at 202 Lane Street.
Also during Monday’s meeting, council members approved a pay raise for part-time police officers. They’ll be paid $18 an hour, rather than $15, following this week’s amendment to the salary ordinance.

Chicken Debate to Continue During North Judson Town Council Meeting
Posted on July 3, 2017
Author Michael Gallenberger, WKVI
North Judson’s chicken debate is expected to continue during tonight’s town council meeting. The town’s existing animal ordinance prohibits chickens and other farm animals from being raised within the town limits, but there are still some chickens in town.
Last month, the town council voted to enforce the ordinance and remove all remaining chickens after this year’s Starke County Fair. But resident Sarah Burkett says the town council previously decided to let her keep her chickens. She feels the apparent reversal unfairly singles her out. Burkett says many people support the idea of allowing residents to raise chickens in town, and she’s been encouraging them to speak up during tonight’s council meeting.
The town council has already announced plans to review the animal ordinance. Town officials have suggested allowing farm animals on properties that meet certain size requirements and specifically prohibiting the feeding of feral cats.
In other business tonight, council members are expected to get an update on the town’s new compliance officer position. The part-time employee would issue warnings and citations for tall grass and other code violations. Applications for the job were due last Friday.
Tonight’s North Judson Town Council meeting starts at 6:30 at the town hall.

North Judson Council Discusses Compliance Officer Position
Posted on May 25, 2017
Author Mary Perren, WKVI
The North Judson Town Council is finalizing a job description for a compliance officer. The part-time employee will work under the supervision of the town marshal and will issue warnings and citations for tall grass and other code violations.
Interim Town Marshal Frank Thomas previously suggested the council consider adding such a position to allow the police department to focus on fighting crime.
Council members agree they want the compliance officer to live within the town limits so he or she will have a vested interest in keeping the community clean. They charged town attorney Justin Schramm with preparing a formal job description and will consider it along with wages at their June 5th meeting.
