Summary
At the April 27 meeting the Speedway Town Council adopted Ordinance 14-26 changing no-parking rules near race events, approved adding Speedway City Garage to the town's DORA, ratified an updated legal description for a property transfer, appointed Roxanna Fuentes to the parks board, and approved claims totaling $2,242,801.46 including a $42,096 vehicle invoice.
The Speedway Town Council approved several administrative, regulatory and fiscal items during its April 27 meeting, including a parking ordinance amendment, addition of a new DORA retailer, rectification of a prior resolution's legal description for a property transfer, and approval of claims that together included a $2.24 million docket.
On second reading the council adopted Ordinance 14-26, amending Chapter 10.12 of the town code to make Founders Square Drive no-parking at all times and to apply no-parking restrictions on 16th Street, Greenlawn Street and 11th Street during and around race events. Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz explained that the change responds to congestion and will allow the street department to install signs where appropriate. The ordinance passed 5-0.
The council also approved Resolution 20-26-07 to add PVFG Holdings, doing business as Speedway City Garage (owner contact Jeff Matthews), to the town's Designated Outdoor Refreshment Area (DORA). Grant Kleinhenz said the applicant filed the necessary paperwork and an encroachment permit; if the council's action stands, staff will forward the package to the state for final review and approval.
Council approved a rectification to Resolution 20-26-02 to correct a clerical error in a legal description so the town can transfer the referenced parcel to the redevelopment commission. Councilors asked for clarity on the exhibit and colloquial addresses (Crawfordsville Road vs. Wilco Lane); staff said the corrected legal description reflects the intended parcel. The rectification was approved 5-0.
On fiscal matters, acting clerk (Town Manager) Grant Kleinhenz presented claims for 04/09 through 04/22, including a large claims packet totaling $2,242,801.46 and a one-page sheet for $23,006.46.
