Votes at a glance: council tables grant award; approves minutes, vouchers, permit and rate change
Summary
At its March 23 meeting, the Ellettsville Town Council tabled the community crossing grant award, approved March 9 minutes and vouchers, granted a mass-gathering permit to the Ellettsville Youth Sports League (fee waived for nonprofit), and approved a septic-dumping rate increase affecting four vendors.
The Ellettsville Town Council on March 23 took several procedural and action votes:
• Community crossing grant award tabled — Chair called the community crossing grant award; a council member cited technical difficulties and the council voted to table the award until the next meeting.
• Minutes (March 9, 2026) approved — A motion to approve the minutes passed on voice/roll call.
• Vouchers approved — Council approved extra-pay accounts payable and payroll vouchers after a motion and second.
• Mass-gathering permit approved — The council approved a mass-gathering permit submitted by the Ellettsville Youth Sports League for an April 11 kickoff jamboree. Town staff said police, fire and public works were satisfied with the plans; staff also noted the fee was waived because the applicant is a nonprofit. The motion passed on roll call.
• Septic-dumping rates increased — Council discussed the rate change, noting it affects four vendors, and approved the increase on a roll-call vote. Staff said new gates and keypads are not yet installed and the new dumping station is not yet built; the change in rates will enable the town to begin processing under the new fee schedule.
Details: Most motions were moved and seconded on the floor; where roll-call votes were recorded the clerk noted unanimous or majority support and the meeting minutes will document formal tallies.
