Summary
In addition to major items, the council approved an interlocal agreement with Greenwood for Emerson Avenue improvements, authorized staff to submit a bicycle/pedestrian planning grant, approved disposal of a restroom shed and several conflict‑of‑interest disclosures, and adopted the 2026 holiday schedule.
The Whiteland Common Council handled several additional items at its Nov. 12 meeting.
• Interlocal road improvements: The council approved Resolution 2025‑11, an interlocal cooperation agreement with the city of Greenwood to allow right‑of‑way adjustments and road improvements on South Emerson Avenue related to the Elmwood Estates development. Council members clarified the town retains management and maintenance responsibilities where applicable.
• Grant application: Staff was authorized to submit an Indiana Department of Health bicycle and pedestrian improvement planning grant application requesting $7,000 to advance park master‑plan and trail planning work; the application requires a letters‑of‑support package and no local match for the town.
• Disposals and bids: Council approved disposal/demolition of one out‑of‑service park restroom shed (Shed #4) and approved conflict‑of‑interest disclosures for two laborers who disclosed a familial relationship.
• Calendar and personnel: The council adopted the 2026 holiday schedule (observed July 3 for Independence Day) and discussed shifting meeting start times to 6:00 p.m. on a trial basis for several boards and commissions. The police chief introduced a new sergeant and a new hire in training.
These items passed on unanimous or procedural votes; staff will return any required ordinance language or paperwork for final adoption where necessary.
