Utilities board appoints new CFO, approves sewer adjustment and gets Fort Harrison project updates

The Utilities Board voted unanimously to appoint Terry Faulker as the utilities system’s chief financial officer and controller and approved a $371.99 sanitary sewer account adjustment for 11028 Brave Court, the board said at its meeting, which began at 5:30 p.m.

The appointment carried after a motion and second and a voice vote. Board members responded “Aye,” and the chair declared the motion carried. Following the vote, Faulker introduced herself to the board: "My name is Terry Faulker, and I am happy to be here. I've been here maybe over 3 or 4 weeks," she said, and said she previously served as controller and CFO at Indiana Black Expo and in several Indiana state agencies, including work for the state budget agency, emergency management and the Department of Health.

The board also approved an account adjustment, reducing a sanitary sewer charge by $371.99 for a property at 11028 Brave Court because of a slab leak; the board made the approval by motion, second and voice vote.

Separately, the utilities superintendent reported project updates at Fort Harrison. "SLB Pipe Solutions has begun work. They've been working for a little bit over a week now," the superintendent said, adding that the board was glad to see the project starting to move forward. The superintendent also said contractor Hoosier Pride Excavating is scheduled to begin upgrades at the Fort Harrison wellfield toward the end of the month, with a target start of Oct. 1 "as long as weather permits and their materials make it on time."

Board members did not record any public commenters at the meeting and had no unfinished business on the agenda. The board approved the minutes of the regular meeting of Aug. 26, 2025, and moved to pay the claims for the period after those items were put before the board and approved by voice votes.

The meeting concluded after a motion to adjourn carried by voice vote.
