Wood said Phase 3 is currently under discussion and that design and engineering would be paid by the county while construction would be paid by the contractor or by developers when mains or business connections are made. \"Phase 3 is outside the original scope of work,\" Wood said, describing the leg that would run toward Cicero and Demi Road as part of a later extension.

On the 911 center, Wood reported the project is \"going vertical\" with the steel erection underway, parking lots paved with asphalt and drainage nearing completion. He said the county is working with the state to finalize an emergency in-and-out access on State Road 37 for emergency vehicles. At the training facility, staff completed required tree clearing for bat habitat timing and are finalizing the GMAX portion of the work.

Wood said the armory has water now, that sewer lines are being tested and accepted, and that finish work such as landscaping and grass repairs is in progress. He indicated that major site utility moves and site work for the judicial project should be ready to start — \"I would anticipate breaking around no later than September\" — and that the next RDC filing report is due in November. Staff also said they will provide the commission with a written sewer-inspection process and circulate the inspection/exemption concept when it is ready.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","6/13/25 Redevelopment Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Staff provided progress reports on county construction projects: wastewater phases 1 and 2 are nearing completion, Phase 3 scope and funding remain under review, the 911 center's steel structure and parking are progressing, training facility work continues and the armory's water and sewer testing is underway.","taxTitle","Hamilton County, Indiana","taxId",3928,"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},6200479,"Hamilton County RDC to study funding options for septic-inspection costs tied to Regional Utility District connections",301,418000,719000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3813718-27a7285352568157bc4fb57c2676b696&start=418&end=719","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3813718-27a7285352568157bc4fb57c2676b696/thumbnail_418000.jpg","/articles/6200479/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Hamilton-County-RDC-to-study-funding-options-for-septic-inspection-costs-tied-to-Regional-Utility-District-connections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200479-5813b64be44e570781996dc80b0688a4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771134292&Signature=iYPmriW9SQUf5G4JWYZZJeuFomuzIEBPl4SfsZSqatAGn5zrdweAVxnelAJJAdAi8eQlEa44b6BXy7BWkvCarn2x7sUF1YgN-M0GDDyVVgiEK~b49GpqXIUx9WNN-4qMzjnHGj~nl9rFrUQ0wk64yF1uBzvqzQbmhDDtrf4Mo3dc2me0zl0ZPuTM6PeiT58bvRcra5j0vkwcM3IGhnt82QeuXJ2y2GHE6ZYvfsA4k3bSgsC9oE3fovvTnrnu40s-0Nr20ozWlMvSHAq6VwM2dzt6IfnOfhUWCJBoIpMPI7GAQUkPIy4ovgWqkxu2xZl8J419aZqIEAuHldo5o~YTGA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At a meeting of the Hamilton County Redevelopment Commission, two written requests were read into the record asking the commission to examine funding options to help homeowners pay inspection or testing costs tied to exemptions from connecting to the Hamilton County Regional Utility District (HCRUD) sewer lines.

Commissioner Herbrandt’s emailed request said constituents contacted him about the cost of inspection services to receive an exemption from connecting to the HCRUD and asked the commission to \"review all possible solutions to secure funding assistance for impacted homeowners\" and specifically to consider whether TIF funds could be used. In his written remarks, Herbrandt said, \"Assisting our concerned citizens is a high priority given the inaccurate information shared by residents in our district.\"

Council Member Hall’s email asked the RDC to \"ask the CDC to fund up to 200,000 as grant money to be used by the Hamilton County Regional Utility District to reimburse homeowners required by state statute to test their septic system as a means to not connect to the Hamilton County Regional Utility District sewer services.\" Hall said more than 400 homes in Jackson Township could be affected and recommended a means-tested reimbursement program using criteria such as homestead status, income and assessed value.

Staff described the two requests as \"very similar but slightly different\" and said the legal department believes there is an avenue to pursue the concept. \"We'll work with Cam and Oscar to put that right in for you guys so that it can be discussed at the next meeting,\" a staff member said. Commissioners expressed general support for the idea but some questioned whether using RDC funds was the cleanest approach and suggested exploring other sources such as Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds through the Knowlesville Housing Authority. No formal motion or vote was taken; staff will return with a written legal analysis and proposal for discussion at the next meeting.","Two written requests from county officials asked the Redevelopment Commission to explore using TIF or other funds to reimburse homeowners for septic-system inspections required by state statute to avoid connecting to the Hamilton County Regional Utility District; staff said legal options will be drafted for the next meeting.",{"_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},6200484,"Hamilton County RDC approves annual 20% TIF pass-through to Westfield Village Park allocation area",235,125000,360000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3813718-27a7285352568157bc4fb57c2676b696&start=125&end=360","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3813718-27a7285352568157bc4fb57c2676b696/thumbnail_125000.jpg","/articles/6200484/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Hamilton-County-RDC-approves-annual-20-TIF-pass-through-to-Westfield-Village-Park-allocation-area","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200484-c280ffa6ee4ddc2cec7890d70e969863/orig.mp4?Expires=1771134292&Signature=STXLcGnvcMZs~OdXH-rZEFc9l0NxrY6ZnUuvKz1auU75M7KTkv00lL0ggE0NZbEO4hHHzFEQXKVM9nEOMsnrhZX9NV67D4rL~xEi90~iZoxZ2LEwU86D1QvkpPnDIH1~Dqe703ySu1a-1sRCSpo76v8zCofUdzJiIaSg6mB4fXDG90xranJeAUbYx3NnHgIgFLbgMMV3qnWg2QXS8ZC4vVEdl-tm02pJKKl0E8oC0V2LTQdvQLGlKblpCQjZ42AoT4-~q4lF~Spio-FDsRaUoKYILV7KZoLUgthuFg6ZgkPRPuHds2~GpBOsaUqWZV0nY7yTRnvTLuK9L3kPqWgO-w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hamilton County Redevelopment Commission approved a resolution to pass through 20% of tax-increment financing (TIF) collections to the Westfield Village Park allocation area, commissioners said at a meeting where municipal advisors urged immediate filing.

The resolution, described as “resolution 6 13 25 0 1” in the meeting agenda, implements a yearly pass-through required by an interlocal agreement between the Redevelopment Commission and the City of Westfield and is filed under state reporting requirements. \"This is a pass through letter that you have done every year,\" Oscar Gutierrez, Boundary Consulting, municipal advisor to the Redevelopment Commission, told members. \"Today is the last day that you can do it. So I beg that you pass this and sign it today so the auditor can file the DLGF.\"

That pass-through equals 20% of the allocation area receipts, Connor, a staff member, said, and commissioners were told the distribution does not negatively affect debt service for bonds tied to the Westfield Village Park allocation area. Commissioners asked procedural questions about related TIFs, including reference to legacy parcels around 140 Sixth Street and whether any TIFs had been extended; staff said some historical TIF areas had been split or renewed under prior rules and that any extension would require agreement with the City of Westfield.

Asked whether the auditor had the necessary documents, Connor affirmed that an additional notice letter would be sent to underlying tax units and that bond and reporting requirements had been coordinated with the auditor. After discussion, the commission voted to approve the resolution; President Zarate called for the vote and the motion carried.

The municipal advisor also reminded the commission of the filing schedule and reporting deadlines for the Redevelopment Commission: the next required filing will be in November, and staff suggested scheduling claims or updates around August–September ahead of that deadline.","The Hamilton County Redevelopment Commission approved a resolution to pass through 20% of tax-increment financing to the Westfield Village Park allocation area as required by an existing interlocal agreement; commissioners were told the action will not hurt debt service and must be filed with the auditor today.","actionData","errors"]
