Loading...
Summary
Council approved minutes and a fund transfer on the consent agenda, passed a stormwater appropriation (R012026a), approved a 10-year real property tax abatement statement, signed an interlocal agreement with Hamilton County for a road project, and adopted amendments to video recording fees and residential parking rules.
The Fishers City Council moved through a set of routine and public-facing actions, approving consent and several ordinance and interlocal items.
On the consent agenda the council approved the Dec. 15 meeting minutes and a resolution authorizing city controller fund transfers. Lisa Bradford explained a previously approved stormwater appropriation (R012026a) that will transfer funds from the utility fund to the town-hall building corporation to complete part of an economic development agreement; she said the item "requires a public hearing." Council opened the hearing, received no public comment and approved the resolution.
Megan Plumbar presented a statement of benefits that accompanies a project agreement and requested approval of a 10-year, 100% real property tax abatement as part of the project's incentive package; council approved the statement. The council also approved an interlocal agreement with Hamilton County to permit Fishers City to acquire right-of-way needed for the 131st Street and Brook School Road intersection project.
Council adopted ordinance amendments to the fee schedule for police video-recording requests (amending section 35.3) and approved corrections to residential parking permit schedules to clarify enforcement; council suspended rules to take action the same evening. The council also approved an administrative reassignment of the home rental registration program from Planning & Zoning to the Department of Community and Economic Development.
Motions to approve were typically recorded in the transcript as "Motion by Pete," with seconds by members such as John, Bill, Tiffany or Todd; the mayor called for voice votes and declared the motions passed when no opposition was voiced. No roll-call tallies were recorded in the meeting transcript for these items.
These actions clear several items for implementation by city staff and move infrastructure and economic development projects forward in the city's work plan.
