Ronald Poteague, identified in public comment as a commercial property owner on Lincoln Boulevard, said food-truck customers regularly take private parking spaces and that large service vehicles have used tenant spaces to stop and purchase food. He said he and other local businesses had asked the property owner to move trucks to the far side of the lot but were told the truck operators rely on existing electrical connections at their current location.

Council response and ordinance status: Staff noted a new mobile-food ordinance had been passed but was not yet effective; the meeting record shows the ordinance requires that a single location not remain in place more than 12 hours without a temporary utility connection and bars trucks from blocking vehicular passage or parking aisles. Because the ordinance requires a notice period before enforcement (the meeting noted a projected effective date later in March after required notices), councilmembers said staff should pursue voluntary relocation options, coordinate with the property owner and the food-truck operators, and consider town-owned locations such as Wilkerson Park or the vacant lot across the street if electrical access and liability can be addressed.

Why it matters: The dispute highlights competing uses of limited downtown parking and the transition of traffic patterns while INDOT's Route 31 work is underway; business owners asked the town to mediate so local commerce is not harmed.

Council direction: Council asked staff to contact the seafood/ice-cream truck operators and the property owner, to consider offering a town-owned site with electrical hookups or a permit-based approach, and to have police monitor traffic/cut-through issues in the short term. Councilmembers said they would pursue a meeting with all parties and consider moving food-truck activity to town-controlled spaces while the Route 31 project changes traffic flows.

Next steps: Staff will attempt outreach to the truck operators and property owner, explore whether Wilkerson Park or an adjacent town lot could be used with a permitted electricity/pay arrangement, and report back to council.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","3/10/25 Town of Sellersburg Council Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Sellersburg business owners told the Town Council March 10 that mobile food trucks parked at a private Southern Realty lot are blocking customer spaces and causing safety and appearance concerns; the council asked staff to pursue relocation options and mediation.","taxTitle","Town of Sellersburg, Clark County, Indiana","taxId",66012,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639864,"Sellersburg council approves ordinances, maintenance contracts and service payments; other items deferred",2569,211000,2780000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2557101-95deda0f7535204839244fdddbe6241e&start=211&end=2780","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2557101-95deda0f7535204839244fdddbe6241e/thumbnail_211000.jpg","/articles/6639864/Town-of-Sellersburg/Clark-County/Indiana/Sellersburg-council-approves-ordinances-maintenance-contracts-and-service-payments-other-items-deferred","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639864-9e3d02b9ef1e8842c98a96f1e00a7203/orig.mp4?Expires=1771182161&Signature=aU9fUNMGYUe~xRC1FL6xKYaY~Kvjz584FRJ2eDtq~7qW5pX2-xqpQ5fIqz1uKHgJKPQvuyjIm-17roSnTORqx3yrVn96pIM0DLVSFB1m5n47gDN6daRBXmomxnZr9Z4GoWDA1gjFdBEDc3oUT43TQKKprT221fBrY6G8sAm3yivmlwc~kA9cGrUjMxuLk06LKPuWCl5usCPnKIAFfYNsHC~6mZ4R7nTNY9x7wUFHxYi7kL3jFDPPTChGFvFp2KbHPazOf23Y6jxbxRXDRmge8UG2YtEOc8GWc3ICUclUXDnfWCeFraRC9jG8Y9SHVmtdFwjeCz8c5AoUZihulIsLiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Sellersburg Town Council approved several ordinances, service agreements and maintenance payments during its March 10 regular meeting while deferring further action on a fire/intrusion monitoring proposal.

The council unanimously approved the first reading of ordinance 2025-OR-007 creating a Sellersburg Redevelopment Authority and later adopted ordinance 2025-OR-008, a corrective measure to prior surplus-property ordinances that clarifies which town vehicles remain in service. Council members also approved a facility-use agreement allowing Silver Creek School Corporation continued use of the old Sellersburg Elementary gym and certain rooms; authorized an HVAC/air-compressor repair at the former elementary building for $6,415; approved a consulting contract for Stacy Franklin after removing a proposed $3,000 retainer; and awarded the town's 2025 lawn-mowing work to J and C Lawn Landscaping. A proposal from ATS Integrated Solutions for intrusion/fire monitoring at the elementary was discussed but sent back to staff for additional information before approval.

Why it matters: The redevelopment-authority ordinance adds a funding and financing tool the town and redevelopment commission can use for capital projects. The facility agreements and repair payments affect an existing town-owned property being used by a school district and carry short-term operating and maintenance costs. The consulting contract's change limits an upfront payment and keeps work billed at hourly rates.

Key actions taken
- Ordinance 2025-OR-007 (creation of redevelopment authority): first reading approved by motion (mover: Terry; second: Scott). Second reading scheduled at a future meeting.
- Ordinance 2025-OR-008 (correction/cleanup of prior surplus-property ordinances): council approved and waived second reading; ordinance adopted.
- Facility lease: approved authorizing Silver Creek School Corporation continued use of Sellersburg Elementary gym, classroom and incidental storage/bathroom access (motion by Scott, second by Matt; no money changes hands).
- HVAC repair at old Sellersburg Elementary: approved $6,415 to ACCO Incorporated to replace/repair the air-compressor/boiler system.
- Consulting agreement: approved contract for Stacy Franklin with the $3,000 retainer removed; contract retains prior hourly rates (motion by Matt; second by Terry).
- ATS Integrated Solutions (security/intrusion/fire monitoring): discussed; staff will invite ATS to present detailed scope and clarify whether the proposal includes fire tie-ins or intrusion-only monitoring. Council did not finalize approval and asked staff to return with more information.
- Lawn-mowing contracts for 2025: awarded to J and C Lawn Landscaping after the council reviewed two bids and asked staff to confirm allocation of specific properties between departments.

What council said: Council discussion on several items focused on documentation and accounting'for example ensuring trade-in and inventory records matched previously adopted ordinances, that Silver Creek provided certificates of insurance for the facility use, and that invoices or hourly breakdowns for outside legal/consulting work be available for fiscal oversight.

Next steps: Staff will return with the ATS monitoring vendor to answer questions about monitoring scope and fire-system integration. The redevelopment-authority ordinance will return for a second reading at a subsequent meeting.

Votes at a glance (as recorded in the meeting): motions passed by voice vote with no roll-call tallies read aloud; the meeting transcript records unanimous vocal approval (aye) for the motions noted above.","Sellersburg Town Council approved multiple ordinances and contracts at its March 10 meeting, including a first reading to create a redevelopment authority and a range of facility and maintenance payments tied to the former Sellersburg Elementary School.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639851,"Staff reports outline spring maintenance, Community Crossings work and multiple water/wastewater projects",561,3911000,4472000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2557101-95deda0f7535204839244fdddbe6241e&start=3911&end=4472","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2557101-95deda0f7535204839244fdddbe6241e/thumbnail_3911000.jpg","/articles/6639851/Town-of-Sellersburg/Clark-County/Indiana/Staff-reports-outline-spring-maintenance-Community-Crossings-work-and-multiple-waterwastewater-projects","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639851-633cab9f6f6f35c14ed6e7d9f174c5ce/orig.mp4?Expires=1771182161&Signature=f6l~WhU7cLAE8cq1YlyxypX3jRQ8NmT38waBoD4-k3xD9duvX94BZkq3ZXvgN4vxoZiHz9Kq9qU0HpJMcewTFtCx2KCm6bokRWattqY6MHB3V3AjfzHBWkIIvGO4FSJX3bGrJT3Ks0h0wN8rwk7aZ22GEVL5QVzfwuCdinETNAAirTZiJcZQGoCv~okIsaBV91DP~AOg2Xrflj6~6-3-FS0GNdnsM2uNJuS6Dt7JRvESPwRC-X1MPaGXytnT-PxxdRqWJ8bipM2U2hXi0Be1liBiM0jxRfjgCxv7rKX0nWBf0cI2mHQ4nhq1g4ZprfQx8M~SfC5SeXHZQSa4oPnkhw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Town public-works and engineering staff provided a multi-item infrastructure update at the March 10 Sellersburg council meeting covering sanitation, spring maintenance, street and major water/wastewater projects.

Highlights from the staff report and consultant updates
- Spring clean week and hydrant flushing: Sanitation customers within town limits may use the transfer station March 17'20 with proof of residency and service; hydrant flushing in town limits scheduled for March 17 and additional flushing in the Jerrisville/western water segment later in March.
- Community Crossings and paving: The town will start Community Crossings roadway work in late spring or early summer with an anticipated completion around September; listed streets include St. Joe East, Greenwood subdivision streets, High Street and several alleys and neighborhood streets.
- Lead service-line inventory and investigative work: The town will begin field work to identify service-line materials, coordinate with billing staff to prepare customer FAQs, and reach out to local plumbers for historical information. Target completion for the investigative phase is mid-spring to mid-May.
- NDOT Route 31 utility relocations (water and wastewater): Plans and bid schedules are advancing; the town is awaiting an extraordinary-cost agreement from INDOT that limits town liability for relocation costs beyond a negotiated cap.
- Ivy Tech-area sewer extension and pump-station elimination: The town is preparing permits (IDEM, INDOT, IDNR, Clark County) and seeking remaining easements. The Ivy Tech No. 2 pump station is planned for elimination by replacement with gravity sewer, which staff said will reduce future maintenance and remove a pressurized force-main crossing under I-65. The project schedule is sensitive to Indiana bat seasonal clearing restrictions (restrictions begin April 1) and staff are pursuing easement acquisition and clearing before that date where possible.

From engineering consultant JTL: The Sunflower Valley water project is ready to bid once easements are acquired and construction is anticipated to begin in the 2025 construction season. A water PER/asset-management report is being prepared for submission by April 1 and requires town financial data to complete.

Why it matters: The suite of projects will replace aging infrastructure, change maintenance burdens (for example removing pump stations), and coordinate with state highway work. The lead-service inventory is a state-directed investigative requirement that could lead to future replacement work.

Next steps and council direction: Staff will continue easement acquisition, coordinate NDOT cost-limiting agreements, complete the water asset-management report for the April 1 deadline, and present bid packages for both utility relocations and Community Crossings paving.","Town staff and engineering consultant presented updates on spring clean week, hydrant flushing, Community Crossings paving projects, a lead-service-line inventory and a set of water/wastewater utility relocations tied to the NDOT Route 31 project; an Ivy Tech pump-station elimination is planned but contingent on easements and seasonal clearing",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6639861,"Council postpones approval of ATS Integrated Solutions monitoring at former elementary pending vendor details",262,1492000,1754000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2557101-95deda0f7535204839244fdddbe6241e&start=1492&end=1754","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2557101-95deda0f7535204839244fdddbe6241e/thumbnail_1492000.jpg","/articles/6639861/Town-of-Sellersburg/Clark-County/Indiana/Council-postpones-approval-of-ATS-Integrated-Solutions-monitoring-at-former-elementary-pending-vendor-details","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6639861-08546a6eb02e6d9fbcd966862c212124/orig.mp4?Expires=1771182161&Signature=o2izRqjB2eZw~2uGo46itOfQ~A0NZu0uX-wZJXBQ24NgBUPfgNAq4ZS2Bwu74bg1yJgkywPmZBVmBqWf8Yq3O3izQ941Bz-V8ko0peVOXk3pFl8Qa~Fz2WHIfoyOUZDuUhrqrF91MzAhyRi9QddSM44rZrTFbDYQKsvEL9W2mFyhvVcdmGlsW6~ZB7LecneBoHUTXr1NKc-57m6pZ3j8OGcSppAVPVPJEImsOTnUMyHCB4HeQY~ySk3FbOnfprhcklqszCIOpNJOyj4y60xTjsqzBaYSVjQSfjvm-fa-U2CcjV0zIaORUuCsw5I1b9H5F~Cil3xUgnn1Wl6MV2SSKg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Town of Sellersburg Town Council discussed but did not approve a proposal from ATS Integrated Solutions for annual intrusion and fire monitoring at the former Sellersburg Elementary building during its March 10 meeting. Staff presented an ATS rollover proposal showing an annual monitoring fee of $480; council members asked for vendor presence and clearer scope before final action.

Why it matters: The monitoring contract, if executed, would provide alarm/intrusion monitoring and potentially a fire alarm tie-in for a town-owned building that the Silver Creek School Corporation uses for gym, practice and storage. Council members wanted to confirm whether the ATS proposal covers intrusion-only monitoring or includes fire-system tie-ins; the proposal documents list \"fire system tie-in integration\" under exclusions and a fire-monitoring line elsewhere, creating uncertainty.

What happened in the meeting: Charlie (town staff) described the ATS proposal and noted the $480 annual fee. Councilmembers asked whether the monitoring included sprinkler/water-flow alarms or was limited to intrusion/burglary alarms. Staff and council said the current proposal appeared to exclude fire-system tie-in work and that ATS or a fire contractor might be required for a full fire tie-in. Council asked staff to invite ATS to the next meeting to present vendor representatives and to provide explicit details about what the $480 covers, insurance, and any excluded work that would require additional expense.

Next steps: Staff will ask ATS Integrated Solutions to appear at the next council meeting and will bring a clarified proposal showing whether the monitoring covers fire alarms, water-flow sensors or only intrusion/glass-break/door access detection. Council did not finalize the $480 payment and instructed staff not to move forward without vendor clarification.","Council discussed a $480 annual monitoring proposal from ATS Integrated Solutions for the former Sellersburg Elementary building but asked staff to invite the vendor back to clarify scope and whether fire-system tie-ins are included before approving.","actionData","errors"]
