The Zionsville Town Council convened on July 21, 2025, to address several key agenda items, including the first readings of ordinances and contract renewals. The meeting began with the consideration of Ordinance 2025-18, which pertains to an alley vacation. The council unanimously approved the motion to advance this ordinance to a second reading, with a vote of 6 in favor and none opposed.

Following this, the council reviewed Ordinance 2025-19, which amends the subdivision control ordinance. Mike Dale, the Director of Planning and Building, presented the ordinance, explaining that it aligns local regulations with recent state legislation requiring the use of FEMA floodplain maps and NOAA precipitation data in the review of primary plots for major subdivisions. This amendment is considered a housekeeping measure to ensure compliance with the new law. The council also passed this ordinance with a unanimous vote of 6-0.

The next item on the agenda was the renewal of the municipal solid waste, recyclable, and compost collection and disposal contract with Priority Waste LLC. DPW Director Lance outlined the necessity of extending the contract, which is currently in its third year. The extension will maintain the same terms, including a 3% annual rate increase, as stipulated in the original agreement. The council approved the contract renewal, again with a unanimous vote of 6-0.

In closing, the council addressed any other matters, but no additional topics were raised. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, which was also passed unanimously. Overall, the council's discussions focused on ensuring compliance with state regulations and maintaining essential services for the community.
