Whitley County agrees to short-term weights-and-measures support for DeKalb County
Summary
Health Director Scott Wagner explained an interlocal agreement allowing a Whitley County inspector to perform short-term weights-and-measures inspections in DeKalb County for up to 30 days; the board approved the agreement and DeKalb will reimburse salary, mileage and vehicle costs.
Health Director Scott Wagner told commissioners that DeKalb County's weights-and-measures official recently died, creating a temporary gap in inspections. Whitley County staff were asked to perform a short-term service; DeKalb's attorney drafted an interlocal agreement that allows Whitley County to respond to inspection requests in DeKalb for up to 30 days, with DeKalb reimbursing salary, mileage and county-vehicle costs.
"They asked, 'Well, can your guy continue to help us until we get back on our feet?'" Wagner said, describing how DeKalb requested assistance. A commissioner moved to accept the agreement, the motion was seconded and the board approved it by voice vote. Wagner said the arrangement is temporary and that DeKalb may hire its own inspector during the 30-day window; Whitley County staff may also provide training assistance while the state coordinates a long-term solution.
