Council approves right-of-way vacation, appropriations and ZIP-code resolution
The Westfield City Council took several formal actions during its meeting.

Ordinance 25-70 (Vacation of Public Right-of-Way): John Nail, director of public works, summarized a proposal to vacate an unused right-of-way near State Road 32 and Casey Road after it was functionally removed by a prior ditch-road realignment. The council opened and closed a public hearing and then approved the ordinance on a roll-call vote of 7–0.

Ordinance 25-83 (Additional Appropriations): Deputy Mayor Daniel Kerry Toll presented an ordinance to authorize appropriations from multiple funds — including impact funds and the general fund — to cover projects such as Simon Moon Phase 2, police equipment and right-of-way acquisition. The public hearing was brief and the council voted 7–0 to adopt the ordinance.

Resolution 25-163 (Support for Single ZIP Code): The council unanimously adopted a resolution urging federal action to consolidate Westfield under a single ZIP code. Deputy Mayor Toll said the city currently spans seven ZIP codes, which creates administrative and revenue distribution problems; councilors noted benefits for identity, tax distribution and insurance clarity.

Procedural votes: The council also approved meeting minutes and claims earlier in the agenda (motions carried unanimously). Several ordinances were introduced for first reading — including Ordinance 25-85 (authorization for up to $19 million in lease-rental revenue bonds to finance a public parking garage tied to a private Park & Poplar mixed-use project) and Ordinance 25-80 (Sugarleaf PUD introduction) — and no final votes were requested on those introductions.

Vote tallies: Formal roll-call votes recorded in the transcript for adopted items show unanimous support (7–0) on the recorded ordnances and resolution.

What happens next: Introduced ordinances will proceed through required public hearings, plan commission reviews and future council votes; the Sugarleaf PUD will return after neighborhood meetings and APC review.
