Road projects: Lisa (county staff) reported the Fullerton Pike Phase 3 paving is expected to finish soon and that striping layout, pedestrian railing and new traffic‑signal loops are being installed. She said some City of Bloomington Utilities (CBU) work will require an overnight water outage affecting 14 property owners and that staff are sending pre-notifications. Lisa said there may be change orders processed through the normal NDOT (Indiana Department of Transportation) procedures, and that final close-out audits could take months.

A ribbon cutting for Fullerton Pike Phase 3 was discussed and staff indicated the likely time will be Friday morning the 26th at 9 a.m.; media and school contacts will be notified.

Residential TIF and sewer planning: Jeff (county staff) told commissioners the county remains in early discussions about a West Side residential TIF and possible sewer extensions. He said the county has met with groups focused on sewer extensions and plans to consult planning staff next. Jeff described ongoing coordination with Utility Service Board members and said a joint approach with USB is likely to be more efficient given the high costs of sewer projects.

Commissioners noted the financial challenge of residential TIFs, which typically take time to generate significant revenue and often require a commercial anchor or large multifamily component to provide early funding. Commissioner remarks encouraged caution and collaborative planning across agencies.

Ending: Staff said they will continue outreach with planning, the Utility Service Board and potential partners and will bring updates to future meetings. The commission then moved to adjourn.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Monroe County Redevelopment Commission, September 17, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","County staff reported Fullerton Pike Phase 3 paving should finish shortly and a ribbon cutting is planned; staff also described early-stage planning for a residential West Side TIF and sewer-extension options in coordination with the Utility Service Board.","taxTitle","Monroe County, Indiana","taxId",3534,"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},6467270,"Predevelopment Commission approves minutes and $166,338.35 in claims, 5-0",158,1891000,2049000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5806457-0e9c630213f84980a73f68b4d2bbd787&start=1891&end=2049","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5806457-0e9c630213f84980a73f68b4d2bbd787/thumbnail_1891000.jpg","/articles/6467270/Monroe-County/Indiana/Predevelopment-Commission-approves-minutes-and-16633835-in-claims-5-0","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6467270-6e3899967e6ed7e3532d8da1060c3871/orig.mp4?Expires=1770546325&Signature=MWlAp8YtoyvgMutGGpcerAdY7ki9ePSWUH41s9pBRnUAm50Rz0kLfm-lrO-rVUuqDhNgidLMQbaS8mw4iKjp3xBKMX4DTZo2Cq2wlzWky9Bq-sTCmzF751l4lU4DvrtSsxKUb6LEV5Dzx4t2Xx3FpVDoOWdYIqzAG8Z41CvU3DvkfKKodX-kDVoz38PwrhvVshuTy2Raq21algKAVZkb0-Fi1AXRWyHDPUmiL7ejYL4YynGr9NcpW7y8MfxyhqLP5vmrT06wnUHqJpaZHX0xS4nJq8xFuBbO2B2vKd5QoUhVvG6jF5uAvJ1Q63GcSQUJLAIjQd7snGnL9lR-15vpzw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Monroe County Predevelopment Commission voted 5-0 to approve two procedural items during its meeting: the minutes from July 16 and August 20, and monthly claims totaling $166,338.35.

Sanders said the companies will “send the people that train their new employees” to the high school campus to adapt workplace training modules to a high-school schedule so juniors and seniors can earn industry certifications. “The plan then is for us to create this pipeline of future employees for these companies to solve their employment issues, and also to meet the needs of our young people,” Sanders said.

The project will add two training rooms to the high school: a shared training room for Boston Scientific and Cook Medical and a simulation lab configured like hospital rooms for hands-on practice. Sanders said the district is in the design and bonding phase and that the project will proceed through required legal meetings and public hearings.

Why it matters: the proposal pairs classroom pathways with local employer demand, potentially enabling graduates to enter the workforce immediately with certifications or to have company support to pursue further education. Sanders said the work is funded in part by the West Side tax increment financing (TIF) district, which “provides funding annually for STEM oriented activities” at RBB.

Sanders described broader curriculum work tied to the training project. The district is expanding career pathways that begin in junior high and align through high school; he said the district now reports roughly 17 or 18 career pathways and that biomedical education is a named pathway. Sanders also said RBB is participating in Robert Marzano’s High Reliability Schools (HRS) program and that the junior high recently submitted materials for HRS Level 1 certification.

Sanders highlighted other student, program and facility developments tied to the district’s STEM efforts: new video boards used for student-created content and marketing, an “innovative learning center” that supports student-run businesses (including a student-operated coffee shop), and the district’s interest in collecting alumni outcome data to document long-term program effects. He said some students report wishing these pathways had started earlier, and shared an anecdote of a former student who used their experience running a high-school business as part of an application to the Indiana University Kelley School of Business.

Commissioners and staff asked about student reactions and program monitoring. Commissioner Jones asked, “what's the student's attitude about it all?” Sanders said seniors often tell him, “why didn't we start this earlier?” and described students as “smart” and enthusiastic. The commission encouraged site visits and suggested using alumni reunions and career coaches to collect post‑graduation outcome data.

Next steps Sanders identified are continued curriculum alignment with industry trainers, completion of design and bonding steps for the new high-school additions, and forthcoming public hearings as part of the construction approval process. He invited commissioners to visit the programs on campus.

Ending: Commissioners thanked Sanders and staff for the report and agreed to consider follow-up visits and updates as the design and bonding process moves forward.","Dr. Jerry Sanders told the Monroe County Predevelopment Commission the RBB Community School Corporation is designing a biomedical training program that will bring company trainers into high schools, add two training rooms and a simulated clinical lab, and align junior-high career pathways with high-school certification opportunities.","actionData","errors"]
