The splash pad hours were posted as daily 10:00 a.m.–8:30 p.m., with Tuesdays opening at 3:30 p.m. to accommodate weekly and monthly maintenance tasks. Amber said the grand opening is scheduled for Saturday, May 31, and that Kona Ice, Papa's ice cream truck and Sweet Lemon would be in attendance.

Amber also reported a construction delay for the Arbuckle Park basketball court; wet conditions and drainage issues pushed the projected completion to late July. She said the department prefers to address drainage now to avoid cracking and additional repairs later.

Deb said the town has grown about 20% over five years and cited “almost a billion dollars” in anticipated or realized investment tied to multiple projects. She said the town has attracted a range of development beyond logistics, including life-science and redevelopment projects, and credited a strategic plan and coordinated staff and council efforts for recent progress.

Deb provided numeric highlights presented in the council packet: more than $13,800,000 in grant awards since 2020, creation of over 1,900 jobs and an estimated payroll figure described in the packet as “over 86,000,000.” She listed completed and ongoing infrastructure and amenities work including roadway reconstructions (County Road 700, 400 at Ronald Reagan Boulevard), new traffic signals planned for South Green and Northfield, park additions (Cardinal Bark Park, White Lick Creek Greenway, Stevens Park, Virgil Park), and a Bowman property study to address long‑overdue facilities for police and the street department.

Deb also noted staffing levels compared with national municipal averages and said the town accomplishes more with comparatively fewer full‑time employees per 1,000 residents. She thanked staff, boards and commissions for the work and referenced a staff member transition: Jenna Ortman (Development Services) will be leaving the town; Deb said the council and community will miss her.

Deb identified projects in design or soon to begin, including the White Lick Creek stabilization (design phase) and the Williams Park splash pad grand opening scheduled for May 31. She said design for new police and street department facilities would begin in spring.

No formal action was requested or taken on these remarks; they were presented as an informational town manager report.","Town Manager Deb delivered a five-year retrospective highlighting population growth, development investment (nearly $1 billion), grant awards of about $13.8 million since 2020, job creation estimates and several infrastructure and park projects in design or construction.",{"_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},6537706,"Brownsburg police say recruitment has dropped; two candidates advanced to background checks",183,382000,565000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3457753-7289dcb25d242439485ed0ace2c55749&start=382&end=565","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3457753-7289dcb25d242439485ed0ace2c55749/thumbnail_382000.jpg","/articles/6537706/Town-of-Brownsburg/Hendricks-County/Indiana/Brownsburg-police-say-recruitment-has-dropped-two-candidates-advanced-to-background-checks","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6537706-25da6aae7693782c73346179910d4c9e/orig.mp4?Expires=1776492409&Signature=PjwVtgh8smEt4HSMpXERh6NYeqml043EoQxeqYgo0pdTCAhT6jXvXEu1KM7fqe0sBdEsjSrfGgq~UezXz8bFyvioHfqY9HSXO97K7yy6zm41v2~kWgE0CRp3K6q7kXE-J8UM8j889MQiaYlrEvsFlWlNScKZiKPWTx3sILshGxuwOgOlLv-1bbg4TXV17gP2~Ck37dswHi1-faoPJNPTk0RGc4gHUVJ2cyLpJjAsNWmZ-v4~jEw8r9DBkIwA~~dFXu1L51HZFDOaFeubRId9z4m2n93qUMx35FpWR9uxw1pLtjFm1sWfHejPCHYSCbIaz-bChPnL5nQoRgkrfDDozg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Chief Joe Grimes told the Brownsburg Town Council on May 22 that the police department is experiencing a decline in lateral and certified applicants and in the number of people attending oral interviews.

“We continue to see a decrease in number of applicants as well as those that attend oral interviews,” Chief Grimes said. He said the department invited 19 candidates to oral interviews earlier that week and about 50% attended.

Grimes said the department will work with town staff on the 2026 budget for salaries and benefits to address recruiting and retention. He reported that two candidates are being moved into the background phase and that a third vacancy already had a conditional offer in progress and was expected to be onboarded by June.

“The law is changing to July 1 on laterals,” Grimes said, referring to a state change that will require new hiring agencies to pay part of training costs for lateral officers who have been at their prior agency for one to three years. Grimes said the department is trying to hire before that date if possible; if not successful, the town will need to consider the training-cost implications for lateral transfers.

Grimes described longer-term staffing pressures, including retirements and departures to the private sector, and said retention and recruitment measures will be part of the upcoming budget conversations.

On routine business the council approved the May 8, 2025 regular meeting minutes and accepted the civil and fire territory claim dockets covering May 8–May 22, 2025. The claims and payroll amounts were read into the record as \"$2,626,196 and $81.\" The council voiced approval with no recorded opposition.

The council approved a staff-recommended bid award for the County Road 700 water main relocation project. Aaron (staff member) reported the engineer's estimate at about $291,000 and said staff recommended awarding the project to Likens Contracting for $290,733. A motion to approve the bid award carried with voice votes and no opposition recorded.

On ordinances, the council adopted on third reading a voluntary annexation for property identified as 3855 North State Road 267 (ordinance cited in the meeting as 20-25-06). Jenna Ortman (Development Services) told the council there were no updates since the public hearing and that the annexation remains a utility-connection voluntary annexation. The council voted in favor on final adoption.

Two code changes advanced on first reading: an ordinance to prohibit the use, parking and obstruction of motor vehicles on public trails (identified in the meeting as ordinance 20-25-07) and an amendment to the noise ordinance (identified in the meeting as ordinance 20-25-08) that would remove the clause referencing the hours “particularly between the hours of 11PM and 7AM.” Amber (Park Authority/Town staff) presented the trail-vehicles ordinance and Scott (staff member) presented the noise ordinance amendment; both were approved for proposed first reading with no recorded opposition.

The meeting concluded with standard procedural motions and adjournment.
