St Joseph County increases leaf-pickup subsidies to $425,000; more residents to get discount

Twice as many St. Joseph County residents will be eligible for an “early-bird” rate to have their leaves picked up this year, after the county Board of Commissioners agreed to pay an extra $75,000 in customer subsidies to the private vendor running the program. Under a modified contract the commissioners approved Tuesday with St. Joe County Recycling, the first 3,000 residents to subscribe to the program will pay a discounted fee of $99, an increase from the 1,500 subscribers who got that rate for the 2020 season. The contract calls for the county to pay the company a subsidy of $232 for each of the first 1,500 residents to sign up, similar to the previous version of the contract. But the extra $75,000 will allow for subsidies of $50 each for another 1,500 subscribers to receive the early rate.

St Joseph County Councilors Send Mask Mandate Extension To Commissioners

St. Joseph County Councilors Send Mask Mandate Extension To Commissioners SOUTH BEND, Ind. Leaders in St. Joseph County have moved a proposal forward to extend a county-wide mask mandate.

The council has already extended a local health order on coronavirus. “I believe that holding this for another five weeks and five days, might save at least one life,” said council member Richard Pfeil. “If it were to save at least one life, then I am willing to do the inconvenience of a mask for that period of time.”
