At 111 East Fourth, Matt Finley proposed demolishing an extensively damaged structure and rebuilding a new home with a similar Federal-style front footprint. Finley said the existing house had rotten joists, a damaged foundation and that salvaging historic fabric would be limited; he described plans to reuse some siding and wood elements where possible.

Theresa Cantu, owner of 920 Cross Avenue, described water and chimney damage, windows that do not close or seal, single-pane glass and lead paint concerns. She said she intends to make the property her primary residence and requested replacement of windows, porch lighting, chimney work and exterior lighting to improve safety and livability. Staff noted Cantu had provided a lead-paint report and photographs to staff.

At 1725 Allen Street, the applicant (presented by Austin Ketchum) said a kitchen fire last year caused major structural and smoke damage; the property needs new roofing, joists, subfloor, drywall and likely HVAC and ductwork attention. Ketchum said the property has been open to the elements and requires extensive remediation.

Staff read committee scores aloud: 111 East Fourth scored 29.33 against a minimum of 25; 920 Cross Avenue scored 25.67 against a minimum of 22; 1725 Allen Street scored 30.33 against a minimum of 36. Based on those scores, 111 East Fourth and 920 Cross Avenue met their stated minimums and were advanced as eligible in the committee's tally; 1725 Allen Street fell short of the stated minimum and was not eligible at the committee level.

Committee members encouraged applicants to seek appropriate historic-board approvals for window designs where applicable and reminded applicants that the Board of Public Works makes final funding decisions.

Ending: Staff said they would call applicants with their scores the next day and assemble the formal recommendation packet for the Board of Public Works.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Madison PACE Grant Committee- July 15, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","At the July 15 PACE review meeting, applicants described a range of small residential rehabilitation plans'from full demolition and reconstruction to window replacement and chimney repair; committee scoring made some eligible for recommendation and others ineligible.","taxTitle","Madison City, Jefferson County, Indiana","taxId",52166,"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},6170741,"New owner plans storefront restoration at 221 East Main; committee scores project eligible for recommendation",1871,1029000,2900000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5397085-9ed52e8b75a54d50ffe62210665ae0c1&start=1029&end=2900","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5397085-9ed52e8b75a54d50ffe62210665ae0c1/thumbnail_1029000.jpg","/articles/6170741/Madison-City/Jefferson-County/Indiana/New-owner-plans-storefront-restoration-at-221-East-Main-committee-scores-project-eligible-for-recommendation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6170741-05733348cf6befca8e6ce4e538feaacc/orig.mp4?Expires=1775378231&Signature=b-dGlPcnuG7iZlBi9-PdVv3N-DuWJwhnXIiztmod6xS-xLqXDK~2rIsSodVgWziVrClfATY~4GWcIGARqmidS~qLXcr~LMEpC38~BIf6xUfkB2gSTBiU2kPxOSNmomxImL~-ATW7LTQMfx07EA4bc6v8EM9VhuAaY4G7TkVvinFagbZ3UN23Cwv7WfdqkYsWs5UtJc9Iy0kngTafJzxqa1e7dzRy3RToBkN9C6UWU~AV1AoCXHFFBQvZcMXxTFUMwlBjZq70hrrNv4Utv3WRgK7KgXXLUivOBd9e9u8S2UyXmqpEWqg-7basl5ZbBvFH-FJmSaXVcY2j-U2Jw~k92w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Austin Ketchum told the PACE Review Committee on July 15 he purchased 221 East Main on June 4 and is proposing a renovation of the long-vacant building to revive a ground-floor business and possibly add residential space upstairs.

\"...the whole front facade, we're looking at redoing, in terms of... tuckpointing, brickwork,\" Ketchum said, adding that windows, gutters, electrical, plumbing and some foundation and joist work are needed. He told the committee he has been in contact with local preservation contractors to prepare plans and comply with city and state codes.

Staff read the committee's tally: 221 East Main scored 39.33 against a stated minimum of 36, placing it above the committee's threshold for recommendation. Ketchum said he has been speaking with potential business tenants for the first floor and may convert the second floor to residential use.

The committee and staff discussed the building's long vacancy (Ketchum estimated the last business closed around 2005 or 2006) and noted the property was previously flagged as unsafe; Ketchum said city staff had inspected the structure and provided guidance on needed repairs. Committee members described the project as an important contribution to Main Street revitalization.

Ending: Ketchum declined to attend in person for scoring; staff said they would call applicants with their scores the next day and include this project in the recommendation packet to the Board of Public Works.","Austin Ketchum, new owner of 221 East Main, presented plans to rehabilitate a long-vacant storefront and upper floor; the committee assigned the project a score above the stated minimum and included it among eligible projects for recommendation.",{"_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},6170746,"Owner and reviewers spar over dilapidation finding for 412 Broadway PACE grant request",1294,1658000,2952000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5397085-9ed52e8b75a54d50ffe62210665ae0c1&start=1658&end=2952","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5397085-9ed52e8b75a54d50ffe62210665ae0c1/thumbnail_1658000.jpg","/articles/6170746/Madison-City/Jefferson-County/Indiana/Owner-and-reviewers-spar-over-dilapidation-finding-for-412-Broadway-PACE-grant-request","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6170746-835d2af6904567d01ea82e660112cfc4/orig.mp4?Expires=1775378231&Signature=SIh3AmiZ2bw1WB27wAiu60~Mx50W7dT0PJYMd3Hk0-Lqqf4teI9sgKzSHgdT71GOpmlQyqSfiIVFy8ONNv~aCFpL4RpfOOdMcSLzD3E3STPu5b7rGY6Hzmb4LTPKgIRzXh4W4pIBJcxBVgKKceM3w6DGjfJLHZw2an7OzAn~91QuSxYjkMEpE~DWZS1STiXQJaeEErEKRNsXtsMnlhyiToY5VAimTu~cdQAPENqr5h3i5YK-PGcI1O~ISJyx99MMsxkBSFq3w1nBU~YHrcNIA2I6jIvb2sVGEVO96H12AIG1PSZXhXaQSk-ObWhOhMB32dXQ6sl5NhvmBmp9VdKMwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","David Fishmer, owner of 412 Broadway, told the PACE Review Committee on July 15 that he has owned and been renovating the property since 2012 and had already completed major structural, masonry and electrical repairs before applying for a dilapidated-structure grant.

\"I have owned the house since 02/2012,\" Fishmer said, and described extensive interior damage uncovered during renovation: \"there was crumbling masonry all over the place... cracked and crumbling concrete floor... broken and missing window panes...\" (first presented at 00:27:38). Fishmer and his contractor explained they had completed primary infrastructure repairs in an earlier phase and were seeking funds to finish interior and finishing work.

Reviewers pushed back, saying the dilapidated-structure grant is meant for work that has not yet begun. A committee member asked directly whether the building remained dilapidated after months of work; Fishmer replied, \"Not now after 4 months of work.\" Another reviewer who inspected the property in the field said parts of the repair work were already completed before their review and that, based on what they saw, they did not classify it as dilapidated.

Staff read the committee's scoring results aloud: 412 Broadway was assigned a score of 34.33 against a stated minimum of 36 for the dilapidated-structure grant category, leaving it below the threshold for eligibility.

Fishmer asked the committee to consider the full project context and noted he had already invested significant funds; reviewers said they were bound by program guidelines that generally require grant funds for work that has not already been completed. Committee members indicated the target zones and grant categories are set administratively and may change next year, and they emphasized adherence to current guidelines when determining eligibility and awards.

The committee did not award PACE funding at the meeting; staff will include the project's score and the committee's notes in the recommendation packet to the Board of Public Works, which makes final funding decisions.

Ending: Fishmer said he would be disappointed to miss funding for a project he called \"worthy\"; committee members said they must follow program rules when applying grant funds to work already completed.","At the July 15 PACE review meeting, owner David Fishmer and committee reviewers disagreed about whether renovations already started removed the property's \"dilapidated\" status; the project scored below the committee's minimum for that grant category.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6170749,"PACE review committee votes to forward eligible rehabilitation projects to Board of Public Works",0,2901000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5397085-9ed52e8b75a54d50ffe62210665ae0c1&start=2901&end=2901","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5397085-9ed52e8b75a54d50ffe62210665ae0c1/thumbnail_2901000.jpg","/articles/6170749/Madison-City/Jefferson-County/Indiana/PACE-review-committee-votes-to-forward-eligible-rehabilitation-projects-to-Board-of-Public-Works","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6170749-c2dddebae20f2ee65b3613c71f45b932/orig.mp4?Expires=1775378231&Signature=g6-rZjNCHbS5UNyb-PRYDnR--q6EIV~j~NPVaWLB9gAa~wdjnsnrYGEqZ-7dBNicNxQK1tU7IecI3lxf1ikFnyaT1xkL4RHhtE9z2yao3uf-TFLKLokJAuKQIbk~-A2asBjQtNSpZkxojbmi4BTgR9Fc0Grbp9WpYYK~zLRdcVEiZS70Fsy6t1zFKJzUKOlo4yHmYXOvzrjQGXyGyxd8Yj9u9YgHM6EpxOkbTDhUqrARaBHhk2PEm7mrAKrDm2QJlueMoZj6q0FNOOhmO7UK4feHt08grj5tGUpoK-YqCDIB7IstTKC4aAp-MRQdcb8RQcjoM7J0ibJAb2UUOb7r3g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The PACE Review Committee voted July 15 to recommend projects that met the committee's minimum scoring thresholds to the Board of Public Works for final funding decisions. The committee chair called for a motion after staff read the project scores and members voted in favor.

Committee members said four projects met the committee's minimum thresholds and were eligible for recommendation. The committee recorded scores during the meeting: 221 East Main scored 39.33 (minimum 36), 111 East Fourth scored 29.33 (minimum 25), and 920 Cross Avenue scored 25.67 (minimum 22). Two other applications''1725 Allen Street (30.33 of minimum 36) and 412 Broadway (34.33 of minimum 36)'fell short of their stated minimums during the committee's tally. The committee proceeded to move the eligible projects forward to the Board of Public Works.

The committee's role at this meeting was to score and recommend projects; the Board of Public Works makes the final funding decisions. Committee members reminded applicants that they do not need to attend the Board of Public Works meeting to receive notification if awarded; staff will notify applicants after the Board meets.

The motion to forward the eligible projects passed with an affirmative voice vote after a member moved to recommend \"those projects\" and another seconded the motion. The committee adjourned following a brief check for other business.

The committee did not present detailed motion language naming each recommended parcel in the public record beyond the earlier score readouts, and staff will provide formal recommendations and supporting materials to the Board of Public Works.

Less-critical details: the committee noted a few applications were withdrawn or not heard earlier in the agenda; staff indicated some target-area funding remains but that grant categories and target zones may change next year.","The PACE review committee tallied scores on July 15 and voted to recommend projects that met the committee's minimum score thresholds to the Board of Public Works for final funding decisions.","actionData","errors"]
