The utility board report earlier in the meeting noted strong financials and a planned near-term purchase of about $1 million in trucks; the utility board also selected a design for the new water tower logo and will provide a copy to the council.

During a hearing on conditions at 327 \u0000And A Half\u0000 North Independence, Todd Bat appeared on behalf of the property owner. Council members discussed substandard conditions in the unit and authorized the planning office to inspect the unit as soon as possible and to issue citations for any uncured violations. Council members also authorized the planning office to inspect the property owner\u0000s remaining addresses if voluntary cooperation is not provided; the transcript lists 14 addresses representing 19 rental units across the community connected to this owner.

The council also discussed 468 North Condie and gave property owner Mr. Netherton 30 days to present proof of financing and a demolition bid for that site in order to move forward with demolition. Separately, the council issued an order to appear for Mr. Ron Mile at 525 East Jefferson after reviewing a letter he submitted; the order to appear will allow council or staff to ask questions and seek further documentation.

These were presented as enforcement directions to staff rather than ordinance or budget votes; the planning office was given authority to proceed with inspections and citations where necessary.","Following a hearing and staff updates, the council authorized the planning office to inspect a multi-address rental property, ordered a property owner to present demolition financing or bids within 30 days, and issued an order to appear for another property owner.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":42,"_43":89,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6337984,"Council amends salary ordinance lists: adds ballistic sunglasses for police, removes sunglasses from fire list",1360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2270864-cd839d5f983348cbd566cfe9d0195d74&start=1360&end=1360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2270864-cd839d5f983348cbd566cfe9d0195d74/thumbnail_1360000.jpg","/articles/6337984/Tipton-City/Tipton-County/Indiana/Council-amends-salary-ordinance-lists-adds-ballistic-sunglasses-for-police-removes-sunglasses-from-fire-list","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6337984-fd460653eef75977083fcd8c1d1a018c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771214784&Signature=nXdC0AMRee7rmTKhCT07f-hx5TLzHPGF~j16Tj04GlW0oo-5r7DMWfI6o9y9i5YDGZtKZJudREYUQEnJNkNe5QxVLdFkCTry~c5JbJaxXTZDps~L0qGQOh4M48KldR9kaJUCd~hBGKqTyj7a2On7sMTCRwTIIwq5tq0Au0jmlYAdQwBuLC7PPFPGo0i9Y7UHi71hB4W9niTUmueP5kHXmDwk8VKskdSuHRaeX0Cs1qwYfm0kIifE8xrhdOxMzx8DyYcUiUpbl0n5ZjXl03mCdEfKtDtnJwVjRdlEecJrPRzMDtz1EsIlOwzMonF~-LF~xaumg~eWz0eZflDyD7fY-g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Tipton City Council amended Ordinance 2025-03, the 2025 salary ordinance, to revise department clothing lists for police and fire.

Council members voted to approve the amended ordinance on first reading, and council discussion clarified that a clean, updated attachment will be prepared for the second reading so the ordinance text will not show strikethroughs or markup.

The motions to amend were approved individually (motion to amend police list; motion to remove sunglasses from the fire list) and the council then voted to approve the ordinance as amended on first reading.

The cemetery board\u0000s analysis shows the proposed Fairview schedule still falls below the average of the five comparators.

The council received the cemetery board report and then voted to approve the ordinance on first reading after a motion and second; no votes against were recorded.

The ordinance amends Ordinance 2020-14 to replace the prior fee schedule with the updated rates. Council members indicated the cemetery board will continue work on a formal 2025 work plan and fee implementation details.

Planning Commission member Judy presented the changes and told the council the commission spent several hours reviewing a draft that would remove special-exception requirements for many uses in the A-1 (agricultural) fringe zone and make them permitted by right if the ordinance is adopted. Judy said the intent is to reduce burdens where, for example, a landowner wants to split off roughly one acre for a house as long as 20 acres remain on the parent parcel.

The measure targets what Judy described as a cumbersome two-step process in fringe A-1 areas in which even small subdivisions previously required review by the board of zoning appeals as special exceptions. Council members and planning staff also noted the city currently requires 8,000 square feet of lot area per dwelling unit in many districts, a standard that limits where duplexes, triplexes and other multifamily forms can be sited without variances. Council members asked planning staff to review whether multifamily allowances or lot-size standards should also be revisited in the future.

The ordinance passed on first reading after a motion and second; the council voted in favor with no recorded opposition.

Council members and planning staff said the changes are intended to harmonize Tipton City rules with county practice and to remove barriers that have discouraged small, family-scale land splits.","The Tipton City Council approved on first reading an ordinance that amends the subdivision control ordinance and the land-use table to allow certain fringe-area and A-1 uses by right, aiming to simplify small-lot splits and make city rules more consistent with the county.","actionData","errors"]
