Summary
The board approved multiple routine and project items, including consent agenda items, participation in an opioid settlement opt‑in form, fleet trade‑ins and disposals, a special purchase of a 2007 GMC rescue vehicle for the fire department, curb cuts for two subdivisions, backstop replacements at a park, and two contract time extensions for the Cumberland Road project to 2030.
The governing body took a series of mostly unanimous voice votes on routine and project items during the meeting.
Key approvals included: joining an opt‑in participation form for an opioid litigation settlement (staff noted a $97,000,000 fund pool and said final distributions will depend on opt‑in rates); authorization to trade in aging fleet equipment; approval to make a special purchase of a used 2007 GMC light rescue for the Fishers Fire Department as a short‑term, lower‑cost replacement for a TSU; disposal of a piece of equipment deemed without value; two separate amendments extending the Cumberland Road contract (including the roadway portion) so the contract timeframe runs through 2030 instead of 2027; two curb‑cut approvals (Kenwood subdivision on 136th Street for four homes and Maple Dell subdivision on 116th Street for 52 townhomes and 8 single‑family lots, with a planned westbound left‑turn lane and signal reconfiguration); approval to replace chain fences with vertical netting at the upper park fields; and a sign easement with River Place Flats LLC CRG to place a monument sign for Fishers White River Park.
