The Capital Improvement Board of Marion County unanimously approved a resolution honoring board member Earl Goode and introduced two newly appointed members, Bruce Donaldson and Bob (last name not specified), at its Oct. 12 meeting.

The resolution, read into the record, cites Indiana Code 36-10-9 as the statute that authorizes the board’s role and recounts projects and events overseen during Goode’s tenure, including multiple sports championships, the U.S. Olympic swim trials, the NCAA men’s basketball tournament and renovations such as upgrades to Victory Field and the Indiana Convention Center expansion that includes a 50,000-square-foot ballroom and an 800-room headquarters hotel. The document notes Goode’s terms beginning June 7, 2019, and ending in October 2025 and expresses “sincere gratitude” for his service.

Board members moved and seconded the resolution and conducted a roll-call vote. Chair Marcy called the roll and members indicated their approval. After the vote, board members offered remarks thanking Goode for his work. Goode addressed the board, thanked staff and fellow members and said the experience had been “a pleasure to be part of this organization.”

Board members also briefly welcomed Bruce Donaldson and Bob, newly seated members appointed to the board. The chair said staff will present the signed copy of the resolution to Goode and that the board will invite Sarah Fisher, another departing member who was traveling, to receive recognition when she is available.

The board’s action was procedural: it adopted the resolution as written and directed staff to present a copy to Earl Goode as a token of appreciation. No policy changes or financial authorizations were included in the resolution.

The meeting proceeded to the next agenda items after the presentation and vote.
