Coker said the bill was in the state Senate and that an amendment to remove Pulaski County was filed but that the speaker expects the measure to proceed to conference committee; he urged residents to contact legislators because the change would reduce local judicial resources and could imperil problem‑solving programs.

Separately, Coker asked for the commissioners’ signatures of support for the “1,006 Community Corrections Justice Reinvestment Grant application for the Pulaski County pretrial release program,” describing the pretrial program as required by state statute and Criminal Rule 26 and noting that assessments are performed within 48 hours (generally within 24 hours when not over a weekend). He said the pretrial officer, Natalia Gebka, is paid through grant funds provided by the Department of Correction.

A commissioner moved and a second was recorded to approve the letter of support for the grant application; the motion passed on a voice vote with “aye” recorded and no roll‑call tally provided in the transcript.

Judge Coker also encouraged calling legislators with imminent deadlines related to the bill; he said the committee process could conclude quickly.","Judge Coker warned House Bill 1144 could abolish several small county courts and end problem-solving court programs; the board approved a letter of support for the county’s pretrial grant application.",{"_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},6074052,"Marshall Stark asks Pulaski County to consider funding for locally served residents",289,1932000,2221000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a&start=1932&end=2221","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a/thumbnail_1932000.jpg","/articles/6074052/Pulaski-County/Indiana/Marshall-Stark-asks-Pulaski-County-to-consider-funding-for-locally-served-residents","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074052-e22710eead82479da1c5da818600119d/orig.mp4?Expires=1773585388&Signature=IaLP1wz-RggTmkikN~5ovY3xvjLrqXLeeRkmnBS9CK3PZYyDOTCL0C~typpfhdZ75AkHOSu7w7SoTL35YstDgaHCmePitZ~1NvTCuLXmLjKOhh8HnkO1qH19ZkOfQ0Ffmy~NuwgsTkC3SgTsUIKdJUWRpK4L-F~NpxIRN9W1kHAPjmNIv5RBTEvqxLVtxip4ozdGzQHghx6rmXkSh8ZISaSUlfDlJMfNHlvgH9UCdTZPG4HylWxe9Yh4gLUuPKciHW6ZgR2Voc2x~9h95ZM9XNccCogE7x~Xl8yRbVgGMixXh~zliatn7Gfszb4FF5LiZ-Mfcp2N4GH4~8QHVCx6HA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Jesse Gilley, vice president of mission advancement for Marshall Stark Development Center, told the joint meeting that Marshall Stark provides services to people with developmental and physical disabilities and operates Head Start locations. He said five Pulaski County residents currently use Marshall Stark services, including day programming and residential supports delivered in county.

Gilley outlined Marshall Stark’s history and services, noting the agency serves more than 200 adults daily across a multijurisdictional area and that much of the work is contingent on Medicaid funding and county contributions. He asked the commissioners and council to consider supporting Marshall Stark in the county’s next fiscal budget, noting that county funding typically “averages about $1,200 a person” per year to provide a full year of care covering daily activities, transportation and community integration.

Gilley clarified he was not asking for an immediate decision at the meeting but requested that elected officials consider the need when preparing next year’s budget. No formal motion or commitment was made at the meeting.","Marshall Stark Development Center’s vice president of mission advancement described services for Pulaski residents and asked the county to consider supporting the center in next year’s budget; he said county payments typically average about $1,200 per person for a year of care.",{"_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},6074057,"County updates Willow Creek Villas and eyes $1M REDI funding for workforce housing",89,616000,705000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a&start=616&end=705","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a/thumbnail_616000.jpg","/articles/6074057/Pulaski-County/Indiana/County-updates-Willow-Creek-Villas-and-eyes-1M-REDI-funding-for-workforce-housing","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074057-64c84de28a1f74996bc922e7d48f7f7d/orig.mp4?Expires=1773585388&Signature=U4XTIri6dCoPxKMvrEsY3RdPddcuJLVhKulFEL621ghRs8r1k5s5mFcYauO3RUmR7iR61ljOBPmLLgkeLfW398GfBtv26X0FiV-jGD6ddMIX1Q15g~OqhWm0qcJXxoLlAiP0BWWzThaC-P11EdpZfVca-rY4vsqrChyAzGyTEXoqh7Jew~K0Jkw9H1iOx6HiWc5Q9vk9k3-gmm2~oJEUkAcbCMIgatH0odRzqwxg4i-6-qETuMAdqo6zqelvjl52lejp2hkdWGmxi6BdogLvk-ngCZTNMD0j597IvuHRZkgR7xc-5PrDtO1~ax29YcPrbbFN1JJ6wWCStwqwtDIQHg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nathan (county staff) said Sullivan Development contractors are making good progress at Willow Creek Villas on East Elbeth Drive: the clubhouse and multiple unit clusters are shingled and vertical construction is underway at the northwest complex. Signage for the wait list was to be placed soon and contact info has been shared on Facebook.

On another housing initiative Nathan said appraisals are in progress that are needed before the county can move forward with a proposed REDI‑funded workforce housing catalyst project. He described REDI as the state’s regional approach grant program and said the county has a tentative $1,000,000 allocation to use as a public‑private match for construction of market‑rate, lower‑priced homes targeted at the county’s working‑class and starter‑home market. Nathan emphasized these would be market‑rate homes (not subsidized units) with varying price points aimed at reducing long commutes for area factory workers.

No formal commitment of the REDI funds or appropriation occurred at the meeting; Nathan said appraisals must be completed before the redevelopment commission and commissioners proceed with bidding or land decisions.","Staff reported progress at Willow Creek Villas and said appraisals are underway for a possible REDI-funded workforce housing catalyst project that has a tentative $1 million allocation for a public–private match.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6074062,"Pulaski County hires Kimley Horn for broadband plan; resident survey open through Friday",90,454000,544000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a&start=454&end=544","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a/thumbnail_454000.jpg","/articles/6074062/Pulaski-County/Indiana/Pulaski-County-hires-Kimley-Horn-for-broadband-plan-resident-survey-open-through-Friday","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074062-ad972c1f079b2d9d6c4b39d014543008/orig.mp4?Expires=1773585388&Signature=oIN7Q7D4LA4A9-R5FgAedv7OzOlWRDzDt6f-KmIBw74mo0wVW3G6jEqYfE5a7cNMRfogwqTWjUe5NGN175EjdwkFltsUgxtUUk9DAWodW7941B5excHR-zq42ubdL7vDBlpZvrkIoSp6xormnJ9aTTYmySh2YW4ylQwmfm3zbgkMc3Y62Y00bO~6Aysi1VMvJ82f4E9OJsHhiqFkG18seloCHFObrNXoTQmHRGsERLwQWTVlZzKK9-E77sDXvhL4trct--CxSRbEUd1lWhqoLnfXBOeZq8N8gNgXph~A71FaijvGFr6ZbINAvE1Q0tlcgKtcAp73h-ACi~Jyj5JKAg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nathan (county staff) told the joint meeting that Pulaski County received a community development block grant (CDBG) planning award and hired Kimley Horn to produce a broadband plan. He said the consultant is surveying residents about access (highest speed available), affordability and technology (including satellite service such as Starlink) and that the survey was live through Friday and had about 200 responses as of late last week.

Nathan said the survey is available from the county website’s bottom menu and has been shared on county and CDC Facebook pages. He asked commissioners and council members to consider appointing one commissioner to replace Chuck Mellon and one council member to replace Kathy Thompson on the county broadband task force; Kurt Dickey was named in the meeting as the task force chair and Leanne Wright as a task force member.

Nathan said the county also has a USDA planning grant with broader parameters and that staff will coordinate the allocation of USDA and CDBG funds after Kimley Horn’s finished plan so the two grants are not redundant. No formal action or appropriation was taken at the meeting; Nathan said the task force will reconvene with the consultant for next steps.","County staff said Kimley Horn is surveying residents to map broadband access and costs; funding includes a CDBG planning grant and a USDA planning grant pending allocation decisions.",{"_33":124,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":125,"_41":126,"_43":127,"_45":127,"_47":128,"_49":129,"_51":130,"_53":131,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":132,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":133,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6074067,"Pulaski County officials approve $13,343.93 change order as courthouse work nears finish",0,2024000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a&start=2024&end=2024","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2988042-deabee6689cadee59b7fa2dd0688cb7a/thumbnail_2024000.jpg","/articles/6074067/Pulaski-County/Indiana/Pulaski-County-officials-approve-1334393-change-order-as-courthouse-work-nears-finish","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6074067-43b974996cb72475a779a961b14801b3/orig.mp4?Expires=1773585388&Signature=eHt4Qjd9i0LaHFK0w8B-PC-eBOVAgqoXXul8fCNee8YNiQTMet~7-xJRiCqWFsCQKGtnEWrc~cPiMrT75GuKNFaMEKN8XH8GyiAsGEsywDTme-i46MDa8Ezh3vYV3thnWnsTBrTWrbbiPgQNBf~BnABuFKT1INSMkvhY-oo-qeyjiA2bjZybieYgiZZbojU12T0IP2sItPYl5iYNx7kS6ZXYEnBL0lE88ZFEeChdu1ZR9-Qdo1pFmJ3aOhNorpUtjCRczpOZkP1klXuCiLQOle~aOH2ev1dY6EuqqxkNT4WjKK1M7sXm5ndZirz3HBZVmu45my7maQDraRo70V8Lig__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Nathan (county staff) updated the joint meeting on the Pulaski County courthouse renovation, saying the project is moving toward completion and that staff reallocated funds to shore up the owner’s contingency, which currently holds $177,354.02.

The report said the project has about 23% of its timeline remaining and that the Ton and Blanks contingency balance is “somewhere between $250,000 and $300,000” of an original total just shy of $450,000. Nathan said he approved one small change order under his threshold totaling $65.94 and $0.74 to install a heater in a mechanical room; the staff report described that as an oversight arising when the HVAC system was overhauled to meet budget constraints.

The board considered one formal change order that Nathan presented for approval: $13,343.93 for painting existing baseboard heater covers plus $1,243.42 in design fees. A commissioner moved to approve the change order, a second was recorded, and the motion carried on a voice vote with those present saying “aye.”

Nathan also provided schedule and progress details: furniture orders are finalized and installation is expected to begin in mid‑June; carpet installation was reported to begin the day after the meeting; roofing metalwork and slate tile reinstallation are complete except for washing; masons were conducting their internal punch list reviews; window repairs and exterior painting were underway; paving of parking and Little Drive was expected in late May or early June; and landscaping implementation was planned for June with adjustments because of changed utility locations.

The presentation included a note that the project has been under budget in places, allowing a cushion for additional unforeseen needs (for example, “if the auditor needs a little more file storage”). No further formal direction to staff was recorded during the courthouse update.

The board’s approval of the painting change order was the only formal action specifically tied to this agenda item.","County staff reported progress on the courthouse renovation, shifted funds into contingency and won board approval for a $13,343.93 painting change order plus $1,243.42 in design fees; projectwide schedules for furniture, paving and landscaping were also updated.","actionData","errors"]
