Leverich resigns from commission (8/22/05)
Has served nearly five years on cemetery board
By By Mike Snyder-
Five years into a term that he believed would last a year or two, Roy Leverich has decided he’s served long enough on the Jay County Cemetery Commission.
Leverich, who has served on the cemetery commission since its inception in 2000, gave Jay County Commissioners a letter of resignation this morning.
“I didn’t mind being on (the commission), but it’s time to move on. I have no regrets, no problems,” said Leverich, who said he intended his resignation to take effect Jan. 31, 2006, or when a replacement is found.
The five-member commission, which is funded by a property tax levy, has focused its work largely on the cleaning and restoration of headstones in cemeteries around the county. Other members are Paul Pinkerton, Kenny Bosworth, Rick Hambrock and Gordon Kesler.
“Thank you for your service,” commissioners’ president Milo Miller Jr. said.
The commissioners asked those interested in serving in the unpaid cemetery commission position to call the Jay County Auditor’s Office at (260) 726-7575.
Leverich, who also serves as veterans’ service officer for Jay County, also asked the commissioners this morning to consider raising the mileage reimbursement rate to 34 cents from its current level of 31 cents per mile.
In other business this morning, Commissioners Gary Theurer, Faron Parr and Miller:
•Heard Bettie Jacobs, administrator/educator for the Jay County Soil and Water Conservation District, ask if any mulch made from winter storm debris would be available for the Redkey Elementary School outdoor lab.
Mulching of the debris is going on now at a county site south of the highway department.
The commissioners said that highway department personnel and equipment could be used to load the mulch, but that the county would not do the hauling.
•Appointed Parr to the Common Wage Construction Committee for the upcoming renovation project at Jay County High School. State law requires that all publicly-funded projects meet minimum wage levels.[[In-content Ad]]
