Staff said the funds will be available for upcoming sewer projects once the town draws on trustee-held bond accounts.

Staff described next steps for two large projects funded by the bond proceeds. Design for the primary sewer pathway is complete, and staff said they are in the easement acquisition phase; staff expect to refine design details as easements are finalized and aim to begin construction in early spring (calendar year not specified) pending easement completion. The Ivy Tech pump station project is also in easement acquisition; once easements are obtained construction is expected to begin and bond funds will be drawn.

Commissioners also discussed a surplus school property that the commission has considered acquiring for reuse. Staff reported an open house held over the weekend drew roughly 25 to 35 attendees and that the town would likely need a sequence of resolutions (town council and redevelopment commission) to transfer title if the town pursues acquisition. The commission voted, 4‑0, to authorize staff to hire two appraisers with a not‑to‑exceed combined budget of $10,000 to complete the appraisal work required for an RFP or transfer process. Staff estimated typical appraisal costs at $1,500–$3,500 per appraisal and said the commission would set any minimum offering consistent with RFP rules (the base offering would be the average of two appraisals if the town RFPs the property).

Separately, the commission received an update on a federally funded street‑lighting safety project. Staff said the project received federal funding through INDOT but must complete environmental assessment documentation before INDOT will let the project. The consultant (SJCA) is preparing documentation; staff said the environmental process can be lengthy and often takes eight to 12 months, and that INDOT currently has a bid letting scheduled for Feb. 27 (year not specified during the meeting). Staff estimated the environmental documentation cost at about $12,000 and said the grant covers roughly 90% of the construction estimate that was previously discussed.

The commission did not approve additional appropriations at the meeting; staff said they will return with updated appropriation reports and next steps as easement and environmental processes proceed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","09/24/2025 Redevelopment Commission Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners said $8.4 million in bond proceeds were received and are held by a trustee; staff described easement acquisition and design work for sewer projects, authorized appraisals for a surplus school property (not to exceed $10,000), and updated the commission on a federally funded lighting project undergoing environmental review.","taxTitle","Town of Sellersburg, Clark County, Indiana","taxId",66012,"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},5975025,"Redevelopment commission approves Greenwood sewer contract change, returns $29,819 to town and clears claims",138,417000,555000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5829005-0fb1032bceefb1331cdd3be885208f1f&start=417&end=555","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5829005-0fb1032bceefb1331cdd3be885208f1f/thumbnail_417000.jpg","/articles/5975025/Town-of-Sellersburg/Clark-County/Indiana/Redevelopment-commission-approves-Greenwood-sewer-contract-change-returns-29819-to-town-and-clears-claims","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975025-ceeebafc32eaa3f44237866f9a3a89c9/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436865&Signature=It7gZSKOYoXBJQVg91I8WuI3dL6zuoUHjaky-JDYVR4Uk4UW9ukktqTrRUv5HiCtB4zRNR1IkX1rl1EckU17b6AOoxENEKMMzPta0l-01BQEhKzvVuivTGX4CY-SKlZBCRU-IK6aFRbSkpJ1cJIPDD62KdJPxSpT0pWyvj3h6WZMr41AnwX2FzNnO-Y0AdVrnIJbQjEGDJlo1dCukWhZ90o-x8PTg1DuHFvOlZMxhdDpYXZlXdBUGhLvCSg0maxWtawS42OZDoHlpoid4~XZOx19LgH~tCpKBrAynZryH9qzwGfWCly6l-UBAT1Nil0iCS2BYhR89MUbflcIDG3D9A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sellersburg Redevelopment Commission voted unanimously on Sept. 24 to approve a deductive change order that reduced the Greenwood Road sewer extension contract by $29,819.20 and to authorize execution of the closeout documents. The formal motion passed 4‑0; commissioners also approved the night’s claims registry.

Finance staff reported the redevelopment commission’s tax-increment finance (TIF) fund cash balance is $2,081,577.06. Staff told commissioners that $8,400,000 in bond proceeds for sewer projects were received Aug. 20 but are held by a trustee and therefore are not reflected in the TIF cash number. The commission’s current appropriation balance for TIF expenditures was reported as $671,078.49.

Staff explained the Greenwood sewer contract under‑ran estimated quantities, producing the $29,819.20 savings that will be returned to the town. The commission authorized a signatory to execute the deductive change order and closeout paperwork so the accounting can be adjusted. Commissioners then approved the claims register by unanimous vote; staff indicated several larger than usual claims tied to project activity, including final payments and routine inspection and utility charges applied to TIF appropriations.

During the claims discussion, staff detailed specific appropriation and expense lines: a TIF appropriation balance, a small remaining balance for the BOT roadway payment of $873.32 due to rounding in appropriations, a professional services appropriation (432) from which many items are charged, and a small façade grant appropriation balance ($11,735.14). Staff listed vendor items appearing on the claims register, including a final partial retainer payout to Dave O’Meara Construction for Greenwood sewer work, JTL inspection/inspection‑on‑call charges, and landscape and lawn care entries previously approved.

Decisions made at the meeting were limited to approving the change order, authorizing a signatory to execute the closeout, and approving the claims registry. No new borrowing or appropriation increases were approved at the meeting; staff said accounting adjustments will be made to match appropriations and expenditures as needed.","The commission approved a $29,819.20 deductive change order for the Greenwood Road sewer extension, approving the final pay application and returning savings to the town; it also approved the claims registry and heard fund‑balance reports showing $2.08 million TIF cash and $8.4 million in bond proceeds held by trustee.",{"_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},5975030,"Sellersburg commission approves INDOT traffic-signal maintenance agreement for Wawa site",341,737000,1078000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5829005-0fb1032bceefb1331cdd3be885208f1f&start=737&end=1078","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5829005-0fb1032bceefb1331cdd3be885208f1f/thumbnail_737000.jpg","/articles/5975030/Town-of-Sellersburg/Clark-County/Indiana/Sellersburg-commission-approves-INDOT-traffic-signal-maintenance-agreement-for-Wawa-site","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/5975030-6a4eb3e2d9ba908bf57a0912731062b4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770436865&Signature=WQVVJDcaVZ2DISyxkiogvZn5Pcl0ii4N3SKf3sOyIQuPqJnsWjaFKW1DemtqOeHg6i4hSF3jOY-A3T6rf9Kyyz1JJkII7jpH70DzxhakkDI~OmbmjM03eOdml2z9fvjVKOvTWRBBu1ar2SuQVeRARvjO1WCu6AHo7MFWWWTaymuLGeHmZLBAOU5sEGVH7S34ip7bUw9abHJ7Xsjuw5mmBPMOL1EY5KGq9NOB9a5M2LRNeozlCFA-rfqNAUrWb0jJ-MXCShcxOZTdB~CfoWmlKbtu4zfUq9RpeSQ2GTh1UMZVFt7KROqocPU1fsu565IzOXkbuTInUINb-5oZmbvvDg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Sellersburg Redevelopment Commission on Sept. 24 approved a traffic‑signal maintenance agreement with the Indiana Department of Transportation for the State Road 60 and Applegate Lane intersection to support the new Wawa development. The motion passed unanimously, 4‑0, and commissioners authorized a signed copy to be submitted to INDOT immediately.

The agreement resolves a remaining item needed to allow construction to proceed at the Wawa site, commission members said, and reflects several rounds of review with INDOT. Commission staff reported INDOT returned the draft with standard boilerplate edits; the commission reviewed those edits and voted to approve the revised document so staff could file it with INDOT.

Commissioners said the maintenance agreement is one of several multiparty documents the town has negotiated with the developer and INDOT to create the conditions for the store’s development. Commissioners asked that a signed copy be submitted the next business day to keep the project on schedule.

With the vote, any of the authorized commission signatories may execute the agreement and staff will transmit the signed document to INDOT for final processing. Commission members and staff told the meeting they have been coordinating closely with the developer and INDOT as the project moves toward construction.","The Sellersburg Redevelopment Commission unanimously approved a traffic‑signal maintenance agreement with INDOT for the State Road 60/Applegate Lane intersection to support the new Wawa development and authorized immediate signature and submission to INDOT.","actionData","errors"]
