The commissioners are charged with executing the acts legislated by the council, collecting revenue, and managing the day-to-day functions of the county government.The judge on the court is elected to a term of six years and must be a licensed attorney in good standing.Each of these elected officers serves a term of four years and oversees a different part of county government.[6] St. Joseph County is part of Indiana's 2nd congressional district and is represented by Republican Rudy Yakym in the United States Congress.She opened the first library branch in Washington High School in 1918, which often served as a community center for Polish and Hungarian immigrants.[21] In 2016, Main Library began looking at the need for an expanded space in downtown South Bend to meet the needs of the growing community.After working with consultants and architects, it was decided in October 2018 that Main Library will expand to include a community learning center, renovated exterior, and inner courtyard.As a result, on September 5, 2019, hundreds of residents protested in the streets, and all library branches closed early.Overflow crowds backed the county council meeting to show their support for the library.[25] SJCPL subscribes to over 50 databases that can aid in research, education, grant writing, and business development.
