Pulaski County names Mark Eber to advisory council after residency review
Summary
Pulaski County commissioners selected Mark Eber as the county's appointee to an advisory council after confirming that several candidates did not meet residency requirements for positions tied to town jurisdictions.
Pulaski County commissioners appointed Mark Eber to an advisory council seat after reviewing five applicants and confirming residency eligibility under county code.
The board discussed a list of five candidates — Daryl Goodman, Ron DeSabatine, Jamie Murray, Courtney Poeh and Mark Eber — and examined a residency requirement the transcript identified as an “IC code” provision. Commissioners clarified that applicants must live outside the corporate limits of certain towns (Winamac and Franklin) or otherwise meet residency criteria set by county code. Because two applicants appeared to reside inside one town, the pool was reduced to three eligible candidates.
Commissioner discussion included brief biographical notes about Eber. A motion to appoint Mark Eber was made and approved by voice vote. No formal opposition was recorded during the vote. Public comment followed, with at least one resident asking about conflict-of-interest considerations; the commissioners indicated usual procedures would apply.
The appointment fills a vacancy that will be reflected in the advisory body’s membership records. Commissioners asked that staff maintain documentation of residency verification in keeping with the referenced Indiana Code provision.
