Indiana Borough amends and appoints steering committee for endowment grant application
Summary
Council amended a proposed steering committee structure and approved appointments to guide the borough's endowment grant application; members discussed grant timeline, committee frequency and whether to pursue an endowment without grant funds.
Speaker 1 introduced an action to appoint a steering committee for the Indiana Borough endowment application and read a proposed slate of appointees that included Pamela Colaso, Luke DeWeiser, Sheila Hubert, Shagupta, Nicole Supers and a planning-commission member. Council members questioned how appointees had been selected, noted staff and council representation requirements, and discussed expected short-term workload tied to completing the application narrative due in May.
Councilmember discussion centered on committee composition and frequency: staff said the grant narrative is largely drafted and the initial work would be front-loaded with only occasional quarterly meetings expected thereafter if the grant is awarded. The proposal was amended to specify one steering-member and one alternate from required parties (e.g., a council member and an alternate resident) and to reflect planning-commission nominees Ron Shirley and Bill Buttress as member and alternate respectively.
The amendment was moved and seconded and the council took a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded six yes votes and two absences; the motion carried and the amended slate was appointed.
What happens next: Council directed staff to circulate the narrative for review and proceed with submission by the stated May deadline; the transcript does not record substitute appointees beyond those named in the amended motion.
