Summary
At its March 17 meeting the Angola Common Council approved a package of routine measures including an additional appropriation ordinance, transfers to the rainy day fund, multiple professional services contracts, and several tax-abatement compliance findings. The council also authorized payment of more than $1.2 million in bills.
The Angola Common Council on March 17 approved a series of ordinances, resolutions and contracts that city officials said are needed to keep capital projects and fiscal accounts on track.
The council approved the third reading of an additional-appropriation ordinance for the City of Angola Local Road and Bridge Matching Grant Fund, and voted to transfer $1,100,000 from the general fund to the rainy day fund under Indiana Code 36-1-8-5.1. Council members also approved a separate resolution to transfer cash of the local road and bridge matching grant fund (resolution number referenced in packet as 2025890).
Council members voted to approve an interlocal agreement with the Steuben County Board of Commissioners for engineering services related to extension of natural gas facilities, for $271,235.56. The council approved a proposal for land surveying and engineering design services for the Calvary Lane reconstruction project with Rowan Associates Inc., $9,100; and authorized a professional services agreement for a GIS-based program for the city for $29,000.
On routine economic-development oversight, the council reviewed its annual CF-1 compliance reports and found multiple local companies in “substantial compliance” with their tax-abatement statements of benefits. Companies named during the review and found in compliance include FEDEMA Industries Inc., Resolute Manufacturing (listed in packet), Univertical LLC (203 Wetheris Street listed in packet), Angola Wire Products Inc., and Duke Imports Inc. The council also voted to terminate the tax-abatement agreements for EJ Brooks, which city staff said is no longer operating at the previously reported 409 Hoosier Drive location.
Finally, the council approved payment of claims (accounts payable vouchers 73228 through 73496) totaling $1,204,213.50, which the clerk-treasurer said includes interfund transfers of $95,167.89.
Votes were recorded by voice on most items; the packet and motions shown at the meeting did not include roll-call tallies for each vote. Where the ordinance or resolution numbers or detailed amounts were discussed in the meeting packet, the council followed the packet’s figures.
