Argos Clerk-Treasurer Lisa Mullaney asked the Marshall County Commissioners to consider an intergovernmental agreement between the county, Town of Argos and Building Commissioner Chuck DeWitt for building and planning services.
The Town of Argos is looking toward economic growth. Mullaney said town officials need help with planning and Board of Zoning Appeals assistance to move forward. Mullaney commented that the members of these boards are volunteers and not qualified professionals so guidance from DeWitt would be appreciated.
County Attorney Jim Clevenger said he reviewed the agreement which appears to be patterned after Culver’s agreement. DeWitt assists the Town of Culver with building inspections and planning and zoning needs.
The building and planning intergovernmental agreement comes with a cost of $3,000 to be paid by the Town of Argos.
The commissioners unanimously agreed to accept the agreement for one year. It can be renewed annually.
