Does it matter if the restriction violates state law?If I remember correctly from the news stories, the commissioners felt they needed additional security during meetings that were held at the annex. However, additional security was only being requested for Commissioner and county council meetings...not planning commission, BZA, PTABOA, etc. that also meet there.
I wonder if these restrictions will also apply to those who are on the boards...such as the commissioners.

ORDINANCE FOR ENHANCED SECURITY FOR STARKE COUNTY ANNEX BUILDING 1
Attorney Lucas advised he is presenting the Ordinance for Enhanced Security at the County Annex Building # 1 which is an addition to the original security ordinance 2011-3. In that ordinance, he noted, deals with the court buildings but now that the Annex Building will have a staffed metal detector/scanner he states of the need to add that building. He also noted the original ordinance was a weapons ordinance and it banned firearms but if a person has a gun permit they are to show that at the entrance to the building but guns are not to be exposed at a meeting in the Annex Building. He stated this addition to the original ordinance was only for the Annex Building. He advised the Commissioners that they could suspend the rules and pass the ordinance without a public hearing or additional readings. Commissioner Chesak made a motion to suspend the rules and approve the Ordinance of Enhanced Security for Starke County Annex 1. Commissioner Norem seconded the motion and it passed with all ayes.
