What does it mean when the County issues a level &#8220;Red&#8221; winter weather event? The answers to these and other questions involving the Allen County Code can now be found by anyone online. The Allen County Board of Commissioners today announced it has partnered with the IPFW Walter E. Helmke Library to provide free access to an online version of the Allen County Code, including all documents referenced in the code.<\/p>\n<p>The Allen County Code can be accessed under Featured Sites on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.allencounty.us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">county website&#8217;s homepage<\/a>. It is also available  on the web.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is just another example of the Board of Commissioners&#8217; commitment to helping Allen County residents connect to local government and improve their access to information,&#8221; said Chris Cloud, Commissioners&#8217; Executive Assistant, who worked with IPFW on this project.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Through enhancements to the county website, use of social media, and, with the help of IPFW, making the Allen County Code accessible to anyone, anywhere, anytime via the Internet, we are making Allen County more accessible to those who reach for a search engine instead of a phone book.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Each title of the County Code is displayed individually and can be searched by keyword or by specific Article section. The Allen County Commissioner&#8217;s Office will provide quarterly updates to the code and a year-end final version that will be archived in the IPFW Helmke Library&#8217;s historical digital collection.<\/p>\n<p>This project continues an effort begun in 2006 by the IPFW Helmke Library to digitize local\u00c2\u00a0government documents beginning with major economic development reports which are currently online.<\/p>\n<p>The online version of the code has been converted from digital files provided by the Allen County Commissioner&#8217;s office and serves as an unofficial copy. To obtain official copies of code sections for use in legal transactions, contact the issuing agency or the Commissioners&#8217; Office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/acgov\/t20250404_TopFlags.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Commissioners Rich Beck and Therese Brown, Flag Designers Robert Borland and Bo Wieland, Commissioner Ron Turpin, PIO Emily Almodovar.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='93fba8573207639eef395905b443f769' data-image-id=\"12164\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/acgov\/t20250404_TopFlags.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/acgov\/thumbs\/thumbs_t20250404_TopFlags.jpg\" data-title=\"Allen County Board of Commissioners with flag designers\" data-description=\"Commissioners Rich Beck and Therese Brown, Flag Designers Robert Borland and Bo Wieland, Commissioner Ron Turpin, PIO Emily Almodovar.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"Allen County Board of Commissioners with flag designers\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"Allen County Board of Commissioners with flag designers\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"12164\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/acgov\/thumbs\/thumbs_t20250404_TopFlags.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press release from Allen County: Related Images:<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[949,1716],"tags":[20173,1823,1824],"class_list":["post-6691","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-allen-county-board-of-commissioners","category-news-releases","tag-allen-county-board-of-commissioners","tag-chris-cloud","tag-ipfw-helmke-library"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
