A
Good
morning,
everyone
and
everyone
in
attendance
today,
it's
great
to
see
you
here
as
well.
Today
is
monday,
may
the
second
welcome
to
spring
and
to
may
we
are

and
we

we
have
a
roll
call.
Please
absolutely
thank
you.
A
C
A
Comments
or
additions
hearing
none
I'll
affair.
Please
say
thank
you.
No
adjustments
on
the
calendar
today,
as
I'm
looking
at
our
superintendent,
got
thumbs
up
moving
into
unfinished
business.
I
don't
see
any
representatives
here
for
the
two
resolutions
that
have
been
tabled
so
we'll
move
on
to
new
business
and
that
turn
it
over
to
joe.
D
Therefore,
the
requested
issuance
of
waterworks
revenue
bonds
for
the
payment
of
such
costs
are
required.
Now,
therefore,
be
it
resolved
that
the
board
determines
that
the
amount
not
to
exceed
13
million
dollars
is
necessary
to
pay
the
cost
of
said
project
or
request
the
issuance
of
not
to
exceed
13
million
dollars
in
water
works.
Revenue
bonds
by
the
civil
mass
and
through
the
city
council
and
three.
A
E
E
E
Right
we
we
currently,
we
are
planning
on
closing
the
loan
by
august
or
september
and
in
order
to
make
sure
we
get
the
two
percent
rate
that
we're
hoping
to
get.
We
need
to
close
by
that
time
and
any
delays
will
possibly
jeopardize
that
two
percent
rate
and
we'd
have
to
restart
on
the
wall
and
then
didn't
happen
increase.
A
I
might
just
fill
in
a
few
things
here,
which
is
the
water
works.
The
clean
drinking
water
project
has
been
ongoing
for
a
couple
of
years
after
after
the
creation
of
a
asset
management
plan
by
our
engineers
that
created
critical
needs
that
we
need
to
address
with
our
within
our
water
infrastructure.
A
A
How
it's
financed
is
by
seeking
out
grants
and
loans
all
of
the
grant
application
process
with
state
water
infrastructure
funding
and
we've
had
numerous
numerous
conversations
with
the
jefferson
county
commissioners
about
financially
supporting
the
project.
Those
those
conversations
are
still
ongoing,
but
have
not
materialized
into
anything
firm.
A
Yet
so
we
are
at
a
point
where
we
have
to
deal
with
the
increase
in
the
rates
that
have
not
been
changed
for
about
14
years,
and
that
process
involves
a
recommendation
from
the
board
of
public
works
and
safety
to
city
council
for
rates
and
charges.
And
then
city
council
will
actually
go
through
a
normal
three
reading
ordinance
process
to
approve
rates
and
charges
based
upon
work.
That's
been
completed
by
our
rate
consultant
and
our.
E
A
Part
of
what
brian's
referring
to
is
the
mission
to
indiana
finance
authority.
A
preliminary
engineering
review
was
essentially
our
comprehensive
asset
management
plan
for
the
waterworks
we
did
receive
approval
or
a
letter
from
them
last
week
indicating
that
they
have
approved
the
ppr
right
preliminary
engineering,
which
is
a
plumbing
intervention,
preliminary
engineering
report,
and
now
we
are
completing
the
while.
We
are
finishing
the
scope
of
the
project
and
will
then
work
on
the
permitting
process
and
bidding
process.
E
Even
even
after
the
rate
increase,
we'll
still
have
some
of
the
lowest
in
the
states.
Yes,
by
investing
in
the
infrastructure.
It'll
help
us
keep
the
lower
rates
as
time
moves
forward
into
the
future
when
we're
gone.
So
if
you
don't
invest
in
your
infrastructure,
now,
you're
not
going
to
have
it
later
on.
A
A
The
only
way
to
do
that
is
to
invest
in
our
infrastructure,
and
you
can't
go
decades
without
maintaining
and
investing
in
this
particular
while
the
while
the
rate
increase
may
seem
significant.
It's
going
to
average
out
to
be
about
5.50
a
month
per
household
and
we'll
be
able
to
spread
the
cost
of
not
only
the
borrowing
for
this
investment,
but
also
creating
a
capital
replacement
reserve.
That's
extremely
needed
in
order
to
self-fund
future
investment
and
maintenance
of
our
water
system
going
forward.
C
E
Right
now
that's
locked
in,
but
if
we
missed
the
deadline,
then
we
could
lose
the
two
percent.
More
than
likely
we
will
it
depends.
There's
several
things
were
contingent
that
the
federal
government
gives
the
state
government
ifa
money
to
loan
out
at
a
certain
rate,
but
with
interest
rates
going
up,
I
doubt
it's
going
to
stay
at
the
2
percent
just
based
on
since
home
loans
are
now
up
to
five
percent,
but.
B
E
B
E
E
A
Is
we
drilled
into
our
cost?
So
we
can
understand
what
does
it
cost
us
to
produce
and
sell
a
thousand
gallons
of
water
across
all
the
user
levels?
So
we
created
a
base
cost.
We
also
are
funding
a
working
capital
reserve.
That's
never
been
funded
before
and
that's
going
to
help
us
in
continuously
invest
in
our
water
infrastructure
so
that
we
don't
go
20
years
again
and
then
it's
going
to
cost
us
millions
of
dollars.
If
you
invest
along
the
way,
you
can
properly
maintain
at
a
lower
cost
and
keep
these
rates
affordable.
E
A
Able
to
do
it
and
the
third
and
the
third
thing
that
I
that
we
were
again
conscientious
about
dave
in
the
ordinance
we
have
now
in
our
ordinance.
That
says
our
rates
need
to
be
re-evaluated
not
longer
than
every
five
years
so
that
that
will
help
anybody
in
the
future
understand
that
making
incremental
changes
to
the
rate
structure
is
much
more
preferred
rather
than
you
know
gigantic
or
monumental
increases,
because
the
practical
aspect
of
all
this
is
we're
operating
a
business
that
is
not
supported
at
all
by
property
taxes.
A
A
A
So
we're
juggling
a
lot
of
things
to
keep
the
services
that
we
offer
very
affordable
across
the
community,
and
I
will
just
offer
this,
which
is
probably
nowhere
else
in
the
state.
Can
you
go
and
get
all
of
your
solid
waste
removed,
curbside
for
2.46
cents
a
week
and
nowhere
else
in
the
state
literally?
Can
you
go
and
get
all
of
your
on-demand
water
needs
for
four
dollars
and
25
cents
for
a
thousand
gallons?
E
B
B
B
The
state
board
of
accounts
doesn't
allow
and
exactly
and
that's
what
you
know,
what
I've
tried
to
explain
to
them,
that
no
it
the
sewer
department
is
a
separate
entity,
the
water
department,
and
that
only
that
money
can
only
be
used
for
those
that's
correct,
but
you
know
right
there.
They're,
just
like
I
said,
there's
a
misconception
out
here
that
well
we
can
just
take
this
money
and
we
can
fund
here
we
can
funnel
it
there
or
wherever
it's
needed
and
that
that's
not
the
case.
B
B
B
A
I
want
to
I
want
to
make
this
point
too,
which
is
at
current
inflation
rates,
we're
going
to
have
the
same
impact
over
the
next
four
years
with
regards
to
the
erosion
of
the
value
of
these
rates
as
it
took
14
years,
and
so
what
we.
What
we
promised
to
do
when
we
came
into
office,
was
be
better
business
managers
and
use
best
practices
in
solving
our
problems
and
challenges
and
creating.
A
A
A
I
think
that
again
we
have
done
this
very
thoughtfully,
but
you,
you
know
the
the
what
we
can't
do
and
we
had
a
I'll
mention
a
minute
ago
or
last
weekend
we
had
attorney
general
rokita
in
town
and
one
of
the
points
he
made
was.
We
can't
live
with
our
heads
in
the
sand
and
not
be
aware
of.
What's
going
on
around
us,
we
have
to
always
be
planning
for
the
future
and
whether
it's
streets,
sidewalks
parks,
sanitation,
water
sewer.
A
Any
other
questions
or
comments
for
brian
and,
if
not
we'll,
have
a
motion
to
approve
resolution
34b
and
pass
this
on
to
city
council's
wednesday
meeting.
I
would
invite
the
public,
as
well
as
my
fellow
board
members
here,
to
attend
that
meeting,
because
that'll
be
the
second
reading
of
the
ordinance
and
hopefully
it
will
again
be
a
good,
a
good
process
and
get
a
lot
of
information
out.
A
A
C
No
sir,
all
right,
I
have
one
little
yeah
and
I
went
to
the
ankles
this
morning
to
have
work.
I
pulled
into
the
parking
lot.
You
know
handicapped
area
right
there
parking
I
parked
into
the
second
spot,
but
when
I
came
out,
I
could
see
underneath
my
vehicle
and
there's
part
of
the
blue.
I
guess
I
was
in
park.
C
A
The
city,
I
think,
is
a
fantastic
tourism
partner
with
all
the
other
organizations,
whether
it
be
the
border,
tourism
or
visit
madison
or
mass
and
main
street,
or
the
number
of
volunteer
organizations
that
are
putting
together
events.
We've
been
great
partners,
but
I
do
want
to
bring
up
the
concern
that
that
kind
of
brought
us
into
this
event.
Planning
was
the
lack
of
good
coordination,
and
the
goal
of
ours
is
to
make
sure
we
put
on
a
safe
and
successful
event.
A
D
A
Is
just
the
submission
of
a
paper
document
from
anybody
from
anywhere
that
says,
I
want
to
close
the
street
and
I
want
to
have
an
event
and
then
that
puts
into
motion
police
fire
streets,
water
parks,
the
mayor's
office
board.
Public
works
attorneys
puts
all
that
in
motion
without
anybody
saying
wait,
a
second:
what's
your
safety
plan,
how
are
you
going
to
deal
with
an
emergency?
A
How
are
you
how
how
much
resources
are
you
going
to
need?
What's
the
cost
of
those
resources,
how
many
people
are
going
to
be
in
attendance?
What's
going
to
happen
on
main
street
when
you
close
our
entire
riverfront
or
some
of
our
side
streets,
who's
going
to
clean
up
the
park
when
the
event's?
Over
with?
A
They
also
have
a
three
page
listing
of
all
the
fees
and
costs
that,
if
you're
going
to
redirect
city
resources,
here's
what
it's
going
to
take
because
there
is
a
cost,
we
don't
deal
in
monopoly
money,
call
up
the
mayor
in
indianapolis
and
tell
them
you
want
to
reserve
monument
circle
and
then
see.
If
that
just
prompts
the
motion
of
resources,
we've
got
to
get
better
organized.
We
are
going
to
continue
to
bring
structure
around
the
whole
event
management
process
in
the
city.
A
We
can
just
do
better
and
we
can
also
make
this
a
more
user-friendly
process
by
bringing
more
online
so
that
the
application
isn't
handwritten
and
that
it
doesn't
start
this
whole
chain
reaction
before
anybody
really
has
to
say.
Well,
what's
it
going
to
take
in
order
to
put
on
an
event
with
10
000
people
over
three
days
or
closing
a
huge
part
of
our
area
for
nine
days?
A
But
it's
not
being
coordinated
very
well,
and
so
we
will
bring
it
in
because
I
want
the
board
of
public
works
and
safety
to
really
have
a
thoughtful
understanding
about
how
much
work
the
city
is
doing
to
promote
tourism,
but
also
what
is
the
impact
outside
of
the
footprint
and
inside
the
footprint,
because
we're
on
the
risk
management
business?
And
I
think
this
is
a
prudent
way
to
manage
the
risk
and
manage
resources
at
the
same
time.
A
But
if
people
think
that
we're
being
unreasonable
by
asking
you
to
put
your
plans
in
writing
go
to
another
community,
and
I
guarantee
you
that
there's
going
to
be
less
hands-on
work
between
that
organizer
and
the
city
before
things
are
codified.
We
just
need
to
have
a
better
understanding
about
what
we're
doing,
because
it
has
been
very,
very
disorganized
for
a
really
long
time.
A
But
to
look
forward
to
more
of
that.
As
we
progress
into
bringing
it
online
and
bringing
more
structure
into
the
event
planning
process
and
I'll
close
I'll
close
with
that,
and
also
thank
everybody
who
was
involved
in
the
madhop
music
festival
last
weekend,
it
brought
great
tourism
to
the
to
the
community.
All
the
businesses
seem
to
done
very,
very
well
over
the
weekend
city.
