Council approves LD-2025-01 land division and accepts $1.25 million in December bills
Summary
The council approved a condominium land division (LD-2025-01) allowing separate mortgages for two units in a B1 zone and accepted December 2024 city bills totaling $1,250,341.03. The council directed legal review of proposed grievance and whistleblower policy changes.
The Evansville Common Council voted unanimously Jan. 14 to approve a land division (LD-2025-01) to create a condominium plat for parcels 6-27-559.5168 and 6-27-559.5169, a step the minutes say is needed because zero-lot-line duplexes are not allowed in the B1 zoning district. The council’s approval is conditioned on recording the final condominium plat with the Rock County Register of Deeds.
The motion to approve the land division was made by Alderperson Cory Neeley, seconded by Jim Brooks, and passed 8-0. Council minutes state the application was found to be in the public interest and to meet the objectives of Section 110-102(g) of the city ordinances.
In finance business, the council accepted December 2024 city bills totaling $1,250,341.03 on a motion by Jim Brooks, seconded by Ben Corridon; that motion passed by roll call 8-0. Brooks reported committee discussion about updating grievance and whistleblower policies: the grievance policy is tied to individual discipline and has a more structured escalation process, while a proposed whistleblower policy would offer a shorter reporting path for concerns. Brooks said the policies will be reviewed by the city attorney to ensure compliance and relevance.
There were no recorded objections to the votes. The council will continue to process recording and legal review steps as required by ordinance and city procedure.
