B

A
Mentioned
earlier,
this
is
National
Police,
Week
and
I've
invited
members
of
our
law
enforcement
Community,
who
worked
so
hard
to
keep
our
community
safe,
and
you
know
Community
safety
is
the
number
one
priority
of
our
community
and
whether
you're
EMS
or
fire
or
police.
We
really
depend
upon
each
of
those
individuals

I
want

Chief
Shane
Caldwell

While
I

A
A
Ful

A
I

Thank
you

F
Safety
program
act
as
amended,
and
whereas
the
Jefferson
County
multi-hazard
mitigation
plan
identifies
mitigation
goals
and
actions
to
reduce
or
eliminate
long-term
risk
to
people
and
property
in
the
city
of
Madison,
where
the
impacts
of
future
hazards
and
disasters,
whereas
adoption
by
the

Council
demonstrates
its
commitment
to
the
hazard
mitigation
and
achieving
the
goals
outlined
in
the
Jefferson
County
multi-hazard
mitigation
plan
now,
therefore
be
resolved
by
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana.
That
section
one.
F
The
common
Council
adopts
the
Jefferson
County
multimitigation
plan
multi-hazard
mitigation
plan,
while
can
content
related
to
the
city
of
Madison
may
require
revisions
to
meet
the
plan.
Approval
requirements,
changes
occurring
after
the
adoption
will
not
require
the
city
of
Madison
to
re-adopt
any
further
iterations
of
the
plan.
Subsequent
plan
updates
following
the
approval
period
for
this
plan
will
require
a
separate
adoption
resolution
and
the
the
adoption
plan
is.
The
multi-hazard
mitigation
plan
has
been
provided
to
you
and
the
executive
summary
is
attached.
A
Is
attached
and
I
believe
EMA
Jefferson,
County
EMA,
director
Troy
Morgan,
was
here
at
last
council
meeting
to
give
an
overview
of
the
necessity
of
this.
This
is
the
plan.
That's
done
every
five
years,
there's
a
steering
committee
that
is
working
with
the
director
Morgan
for
crafting
a
plant.
F
G
C
E
B
F
And
we
have
one
ordinance
on
first
reading
and
that's
ordinance
number
2023-10,
an
ordinance
of
the
common
Council,
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana,
repealing
and
replacing
ordinance
number
2013-2
regarding
garbage
collection,
whereas
there's
a
request
made
upon
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana
to
repeal
and
replace
chapter
50
as
it
is
established
by
ordinance
number
2013-2
previously
passed
and
adopted
on
April,
2nd
2013.
by
said
council,
with
respect
to
garbage
collection.
F
Whereas
the
common
Council,
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana,
recommends
a
chapter
50,
garbage
collection,
ordinance,
number,
2013-2,
beer
appealed
and
replaced
as
followed,
and
you
can
see
the
red
line
and
the
attachment
of
exhibit
a
that's
attached.
There
too,
whereas
is
in
the
city's
best
interest
or
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
city
of
Madison
and
citizens,
that
the
ordinance
regarding
garbage
collection
be
repealed
and
replaced
accordingly.
A
Okay,
we
have
a
brief
overview
of
the
issues
with
the
transfer
station
operation.
Tony
and
Gina
are
here
over
the
course
of
the
past.
Several
months
we've
evaluated
the
operations
of
the
transfer
station,
which
is
you
know,
prompted
us
to
you
know,
bring
a
bring
some
recommendations
to
council
for
consideration.
As
you
know,
by
State
Statute.
Our
duty
is
to
operate
the
city
transfer
station
in
a
manner
that
preserves
its
fiscal
and
physical
state
of
sustainability.
This
is
an
operation
that
does
that
should
not
depend
upon
any
property
taxes.
A
A
Transfer
station
operation
is
a
utility
function
that
disposes
of
solid
waste
compost
and
recyclables.
It
often
operates
seven
days
a
week.
Oh
may
I
pause
for
a
second
edible
because
I
didn't
know.
A
A
A
So
that,
essentially
in
a
nutshell,
transfer
station
is
responsible
for
the
cleanliness
of
our
community.
It
operates
the
transfer
station,
which
is
on
Madison
Hilltop
and
picks
up
everything
from
furniture
to
Solid.
Waste
compost
leaves
recyclables
and
and
has
a
curbside
collection
route
as
well
as
individuals
from
Madison,
Jefferson,
County
and
elsewhere
can
come
to
the
transfer
station
and
drop
off
their
solid
Solid
Waste.
There.
The
transfer
station
operations
began
in
1985
after
the
city
of
Madison,
landfill
was
closed
and
a
community-wide
recycling
and
compost
collection
service
began
in
1993.
A
A
History
of
the
transfer
station
since
1985
the
council
has
only
Council
and
the
Administration
has
only
changed
transfer
station
rates
three
times
in
a
38-year
history,
essentially
going
from
1985
to
now
and
then
in
1996
there
was
an
increase,
but
since
then
it's
only
been
about
a
59
Cent
week
increase
and
has
not
maintained,
certainly
the
cost
of
operations
and
the
services
that
we
provide.
A
Nor
does
it,
you
know,
offset
the
high
rate
of
inflation
that
we've
that
we've
been
enduring,
particularly
in
the
last
decade,
but
it's
certainly
been
a
rapid
inflation
in
the
last
three
to
four
years.
So
in
2013
was
the
last
rate
increase
by
the
city.
That's
established
a
tonnage
rate
of
48
dollars,
a
ton
from
48
dollars,
a
ton
in
2008
to
62
a
ton
in
2013..
A
Prior
to
that,
the
city
had
rely
quite
heavily
on
contracts
with
the
doc
Crews
and
they
were
very
instrumental
in
assisting
with
our
trash
collection
and
processing
operations
because
of
covid
those
resources
left
the
city
and
were
into
basically
you
know
doing
other
types
of
Maintenance
and
Lawn
Lawn
work,
so
that
was
in
2020.
In
2021,
we
had
the
flash
flood
which
caused
millions
of
dollars
of
damage
and
led
to
quite
a
bit
of
business
and
Community
Assistance
Disaster
Assistance
efforts
in
2022.
A
We
started
working
on
updating
our
water
and
improving
our
water
infrastructure,
so
that
was
that
that
consumed
the
entire
last
part
of
21
and
all
of
2022,
and
then
inflation
since
2018
has
been
approximately
27
percent
and
over
90
percent
since
1996,
and
it's
just
created
a
very
high
unsustainable
cost
structure
without
changing
the
revenue
and
cost
profile
so
that
we
can
sustain
the
operations
and
invest
in
invest
in
equipment.
Next
up.
We
have
a
few
slides
here
about
what
the
transfer
station
is.
A
A
Next
up,
you
have
we'll
get
into
a
capital
plan
here
in
a
few
minutes
with
regards
to
the
age
of
our
equipment,
but
more
images
about
what
our
compost
truck
looks
like
right.
Now
we
we
have
a
single
truck
single
compactor
truck
that
can
carry
the
solid
waste
and
then
we
use
a
separate
vehicle
for
the
collection
of
recyclables,
and
here
is
what
the
inside
Bays
of
the
transfer
station
looks
like,
as
well
as
one
of
our
bulldozers
up
at
the
at
the
Tso.
A
I
know
this
for
the
audience
here
would
be
difficult
to
read:
we're
going
to
post
this
on
our
website,
but
essentially
this
is
a
financial
summary
Council.
There
were
five
years
of
audited
financial
information
that
we
utilized
actual
operating
information
for
2022
and
then
projected
information
for
2023..
A
Essentially,
since
2018,
the
city
of
Madison
has
funded
almost
700
000
in
operating
deficits,
and
if
we
do
not
address
this
issue
then
and
continue
as
it
is
for
2023,
that
number
will
jump
up
to
approximately
one
point.
One
million
dollars
next
slide
is
a
capital
plant.
They
owe
me
back
up
for
just
a
second
in.
A
There
is
also
statistics
relative
to
the
amount
of
tonnage
it's
processed
city
of
Madison's
transfer,
station
processes,
almost
10
000
tons
of
solid
waste
a
year,
562
tons
of
of
recyclables
and
a
couple
hundred
tons
of
leaf
pickup.
So
there
is
a
lot
of
processing
and
collection
effort
that
requires
significant
labor
and
equipment
in
order
to
operate
this
transfer
station
to
keep
our
community
clean
and
then
next
up
here
is
the
Capital
Equipment.
A
This
is
designed
to
show
you
the
age
of
our
equipment,
that's
used
in
the
in
the
trash
services
operation
and
the
useful
life.
Many
of
pieces
of
our
equipment
are
beyond
their
useful
life.
A
Many
of
them
are
a
date
back
to
the
to
the
to
the
90s
or
the
early
2000s,
but
it
is
a
very
Capital
intensive,
Enterprise
to
operate
and
Below.
There
is
a
five-year
schedule
in
2013
when
the
last
rate
ordinance
was
amended,
it
required
I,
guess
a
subjective
funding
of
a
capital
replacement
Reserve
had
that
Capital
replacement
Reserve
been
funded,
we
would
have
accrued
approximately
a
million
dollars
for
capital
investment
and
we're
showing
that
our
five-year
need
is
is
a
little
over.
A
A
million
dollars
a
million
32.,
so
we
are
introducing
an
orders
today
to
to
deal
with
part
of
the
rate
structure,
which
is
the
tonnage
rate
for
trash
services
that
are
being
trash,
that's
being
brought
to
the
transfer
station,
as
well
as
some
nominal
fees.
For
you
know,
curbside
furniture,
pickup
and
compost
bags,
and
you
know
nominal
thing
extra
stickers
for
additional
trash.
If
we
do
what
we
recommend
here,
which
is
increase,
our
per
ton
rate
from
62
dollars
to
seventy
nine
dollars
per
ton,
that's
a
29
increase
in
tracks
very
closely.
A
Only
to
the
change
of
inflation
rather
than
another
metric
would
be
cost
of
service.
That
combined
with
realigning
some
wages
and
benefits,
would
reduce
our
annual
deficit
by
254
thousand
dollars,
and
then
that
would
leave
less
of
a
deficit
for
2023
that
we
would
have
to
fund
outside
of
the
revenues
from
the
transfer
station
and
on
course
with.
A
This
is
the
capital
plan
that
would
allow
us
to
invest
in
modernizing
our
transfer
and
trash
collection
operations,
better
equipment,
new
scales,
point
of
sale,
more
effective
ways
and
means
of
collecting
curbside
trash.
But,
as
importantly,
you
know
eliminating
the
deficit
which
is
required
by
by
state
statute.
That's
the
overview,
we're
not
here
tonight
to
talk
about
the
the
actual
ordinance
itself
as
I'm
first
reading,
but
we
did
want
to
present
to
you
what
the
problem
and
recommended
Solutions
I've
received
input
from
almost
all
of
you
here
into
this
process.
A
I
appreciate
that
and
I'll
close
it
with
answering
any
questions
that
Council
might
have
on
the
presentation.
A
That
we'll
take
this
up
in
two
weeks
when
we'll
have
a
public
hearing
we'll
be
publishing.
This
proposed
rate
that
I
just
went
over
and
we'll
have
a
public
hearing
at
the
next
council
meeting
on
June
6th
all.
F
Right
hearing
none,
we
will
they'll
move
on
to
Second
reading.
E
The
the
council
traffic
committee
met
yesterday
here
at
City
Hall.
We
had
a
productive
meeting
and
put
together
a
list
of
recommendations
for
some
stop
sign
placement
and
speed
limit
changes
that
we'd
like
to
see
made
around
town
and
we'll
be
getting
those
to
everybody
shortly.
A
It
also
just
described
how
significant
many
of
our
traffic
problems
are
across
the
city,
speeding,
speeding
being
the
big
one
of
the
biggest
ones,
and
you
know,
or
in
a
little
while
Chief
Wallace,
who
will
hopefully
we'll
come
back,
we'll
give
a
report
on
you
know,
statistics
for
you
know
last
year
near
the
day
and
traffic
traffic,
one
that
they
spent
an
enormous
amount
of
time
on,
and
it
literally
is
just
barely
making
a
dent
into
the
problem
that
the
community
feels
is
happening
all
across
town.
A
C
Good
evening,
Council
2022
is
reconciled
and
closed.
Yay
I
think
the
year
ended.
Well,
we
had
closed
to
460
000
in
the
general
fund
and
19
million
in
the
bank.

auditing
2022.
C
C
Lucy
always
talks
about
the
right
people
at
the
right
place
at
the
right
time
and
I
feel
like
our
staff.
Currently,
is
that
those
individuals
they're
doing
a
fantastic
job
of
learning
their
roles
and
are
focused
on
correct
processes
and
accuracy,
and
we
do
continue
to
work
with
3D
Financial
soe.
Our
goal
is
to
get
it
right
and
all
staff
are
currently
attending
trainings
as
it
becomes
available
through
aim
hating,
Indiana
municipalities
and
Indiana
League
of
municipal
clerk
treasurers.
C
We
have
hired
a
part-time
previous
clerk
treasurer.
Her
expertise
is
Grants
and
Grant
Management
she's
working
with
department
heads
to
ensure
that
Grant
tracking
becomes
centrally
managed,
as
it
is
and
will
continue
to
always
be
the
clerk's
office
that
is
responsible
for
reporting
and
tracking
requirements
with
spoa.
C
Again
we
work.
We
are
working
with
Rady
and
hope
to
have
a
timeline
set
very
soon
and
distributed
to
council
as
soon
as
we
have
that
set
for
your
FYI.

Whitney's
been
working
with
us
getting
the
swim

underway
for
this
summer.
Another
Personnel
related
issues,
Brandon
Lee
resigned
as
superintendent
of
sunrise,
Sunrise,
Golf,
Course,
April,
28th
and
Greenskeeper
Chris,
Taylor
retired,
effective
May
3rd,
we're
in
the
process
of
negotiating
with
two
individuals
to
fill
those
spots.
D
Hopefully,
we'll
have
something
here
in
the
next
day
or
two
to
fill
those
positions
for
programming,
wise,
t-ball
and
rookie
leaks
have
started.
We
have
a
total
of
about
a
hundred
kids
up
at
record
playing
on
four
nights
a
week.
It's
been
a
lot
of
fun
and
it's
been
pretty
exciting
to
see
them
out
there
playing
men's
softball
league
also
started
on
May
the
8th
right
now
we're
playing
on
Mondays
and
Wednesdays
three
games
or
six
teams
for
those
nights.
Church
League
will
start
in
June
and
so
we'll
be
up
there.
Four
nights
a
week.
D
D
Filling
up
very
quickly
now,
which
is
great,
and
we
also
have
water
aerobics,
which
will
be
four
mornings
a
week,
starting
at
9
00
a.m
for
eight
weeks
and
24
slots
there,
which
are
full
with
six
people
on
the
waiting
list.
So
both
those
programs
are
pretty
well
getting
populated
other
than
a
swim
programs.
We
have
17
different
programs
on
Rec
desk
right
now.
D
So
we
have
a
pretty
good
enrollment
package
there,
Sunrise
Golf
Course
is
picking
up
in
their
business
as
the
weather
gets
better
right
now,
we're
showing
about
287
thousand
dollars
in
annual
revenue
against
106
thousand
dollars
in
expenses,
as
of
May
11th
and
Madison.
Campground
is
also
doing
very
well
revenue
of
about
ninety
two
thousand
dollars
against
current
year
expenses
of
fifty
two
hundred.
D
We
don't
have
like
our
normal
May
expenses
in
yet
so
gas
water
sewers,
some
of
the
normal
expenses
we'll
see
so
that
number,
of
course,
will
go
up,
but
right
now
we're
fairly
Revenue
positive
about
eighty
seven
thousand
dollars
for
the
campground
update
on
a
couple
construction
projects.
Oak
Hill
is
moving
along
very,
very
well.
The
playground
apparatus
is
installed
and
complete.
Pavilion's
done.
D
We
are:
we've
extended
the
basketball
court,
we're
waiting
to
put
a
final
lift
on
that
we're
also
waiting
to
put
in
benches
and
waste
receptacles
drinking
fountain,
and
then
the
fence
around
that
as
well.
So
we're
actively
working
on
that
Gaines
Park
is
about
20
percent.
Complete
the
basketball
court
has
been
repaved,
there
is
half
the
sidewalk
from
the
back
to
the
front
is
completed
and
we
do
have
some
fence
posts
in
and
that's
about
the
extent
of
progress
Market.
G
D
We
budgeted
150
000
for
season
pass
holders.
We've
almost
reached
that
we're
play
is
he's
a
40
of
our
total
revenue,
so
our
non-season
pass
Revenue
has
picked
up
so
pretty
much
we're
going
to
get
a
few
more
seasons
passes
as
we
get
through
the
summer,
but
right
now,
I
think
we've
almost
reached
budget
for
that
and
a
lot
of
the
revenue
we're
seeing
now
is
non-season
pass.
A
Comberg
pleased
with
the
direction
horse
is
going.
The
programming,
the
Staffing
recruitment
that
you've
been
able
to
make
the
board
is
very
engaged.
Our
Golf
Board
is
very
engaged,
and
you
know
we're
prepping
for
a
great
great
summer
and
a
lot
of
planning
for
the
fall
as
well
with
with
programming.
This
is
an
enormous
amount
of
comprehensive
programming
for
for
our
park,
so
I'm
happy
to
see
the
direction.
We're
heading
great,
thank
you
and
then,
while
we're
on
Parks
I
will
just
mention.
Maybe
this
is
a
good
time.
A
I
was
going
to
save
it
for
a
later,
but
the
Crystal,
Beach,
Aquatic,
Park
groundbreaking
or
that
construction
project
will
be
at
noon
on
June
13th,
and
then
we
are
also
coordinating
having
an
event
at
Oak
Hill
in
late
June,
to
celebrate
the
completion
of
not
only
the
Oak
Hill
Redevelopment,
but
the
new
Oak
Hill
Park.
That's
there
we're
in
process
now
of
doing
wayfinding
and
installation
of
playgrounds
drive
by
I
mean
it's
got
a
great
look
to
it.
A
A
And
if
you
get
a
chance
check
out,
City
Madison
website
enormous
amount
of
information
there
about
our
parts
programs.
You
can
I
think
we,
you
can
either
come
to
City,
Hall
and
enroll,
or
you
can
enroll
at
your
convenience
on
Rec
desk
and
with
convenience
of
paying
paying
your
registration
fees
with
a
credit
card.
H
Thank
you
mayor
good
evening,
Council,
just
an
update
on
our
new
officers
that
we've
hired
Jordan,
Blakemore,
Colton,
Fox,
Cody
short
and
Aaron
Watson
Jr
they're.
All
in
week,
three
of
the
of
the
Law
Enforcement
Academy.
All
reports
are
indicating
they're
doing
well,
two
hires
just
prior
to
them.
Brian
Ware
and
Brad
Demery
were
already
tier
one
tier
one
officers
and
have
been
assigned
to
their
shifts
and
and
also
doing
a
very
nice,
our
ERT,
our
emergency
response
team,
we're
in
the
process
of
some
restructuring
there
under
the
leadership,
leadership
or
officers.
H
Cameron
Blankenship
Cameron
brings
a
lot
of
experience
with
this
type
of
detail
from
from
his
years
of
service
in
the
military
he's
overseeing
the
program.
Currently
we
have
14
officers
that
have
qualified
for
the
ERT,
Squad
and
and
all
14
will
soon
be
attending
a
it's
a
4dr
pre-basic
you're,
not
pretty
basic
40
hour
basic
SWAT
course
in
Jeffersonville
it's
through
the
Norse
program.
H
It's
a
Academy
certified
Academy
recognized
program,
so
when
obviously
they
get
through
that
it
gives
our
department
and
our
ERT
that
much
more
of
the
credentials
that
that
they
certainly
need
and
and
some
outstanding
instructions
it
won't
stop
there,
though,
of
course
they
train
constantly
and
the
continue
the
Norris
program
throughout
the
each
year.
That.
H
H
Very
fortunate
to
have
such
dedicated
officers
they're
willing
to
work
hard
and
bring
this
addition,
security
to
our
to
our
community
very,
very
proud
of
them
officer,
Trent
Smith,
one
of
our
canine
handlers.
He
is
actually
in
a
canine
training
school
for
the
next
several
weeks.
So
once
he
comes
back,
he
will
actually
be
a
K-9
I.
H
It
will
pay
you
huge,
but
that's
it
kind
of
ensures
to
me
that
this
our
K-9
program
will
hopefully
go
on
years
and
years
to
come.
Well
after
well
after
I'm
gone,
this
was
paid
for
by
a
jcj
tap,
which
is
the
Jefferson
County
Justice
treatment
and
prevention
program.
Here
in
Jefferson
County,
it
was
paid
for
by
a
grant
that
we
saw.
H
Just
some
activity
numbers
in
April
we
had
46
arrests,
121
citations,
152
warnings,
132
case
reports
and
317
traffic
stops
for
a
total
of
a
thousand
twenty
six
calls
for
the
month
of
April.
So
things
are
picking
up.
That's
that
number's
up
a
little
bit
as
we
anticipate
warmer
weather
rolls
around
activities
pick
up
so
we're
ready
and
get
these
guys
back
from
the
academy
and
get
full.
We.
H
A
A
couple
questions:
we
talked
about
traffic
safety
or
or
traffic
management.
Earlier
you
know,
I'm
looking
at
year-to-date
numbers
and
it's
almost
1100
traffic
stops.
That
seems,
like
a
I
mean
it's
on
record
relative
last
year,
I
think
it
was
around
4
500.
We
might
exceed
that
this
year.
Where
are
the
hot
spots
that
you're
dealing
with
and
I
know
what
all
across
the
community?
We
have
some
issues
but
sure,
were
you
seeing
Trend
here
being
with
the
traffic.
H
You
know
I
know
we
had
a
lot
of
concerns
on
East
Main.
You
know
especially
coming
to
work
in
the
morning
Kentucky
or
from
Switzerland
County
and
going
home
at
night.
It
seems
like
a
little
bit
of
a
racetrack
everybody
jockeying
from
position
to
to
get
on
the
bridge
or
get
to
the
bridge,
and
we've
been
in
that
pretty
steadily
with
some
nice
comments
from
the
folks
that
live
in
that
area
and
we'll
continue
to
do
that.
But
sir.
That
certainly
is,
and
it
was
a
very
valid
concerns
that
they
have
down
there.
H
So
we're
heading
and
again
Main
Street
with
our
semis.
It's
it's
a
constant
issue.
However,
it
seems
to
be
dropping
to
some
days.
Captain
Stefan
will
come
in
and
say,
hey,
I
think
we
got
this
thing
whipped.
We
only
had
one
or
two
and
then
the
next
day
we'll
have
five
or
six
continue
to
work
hard
on
that,
and
he
does
a
good
job.
Educating
him
as
well.
It's
not
just
a
citation.
H
A
H
We
hope
once
we
get
back
to
that,
to
that
fully
staff
position
that
we
can
put
back
into
place
or
our
Traffic
Control
Officers,
which
we
had
last
year
and
our
numbers
are
down
Personnel.
You
know
available
for
the
streets,
so
once
we
get
everybody
back
then,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
those
back
into
place.
H
Tom
I
think
we're
there.
Then
something
happens,
but
it's
the
work
in
progress,
but
yeah
we're
fully
staffed
now
and
looking
forward
to
getting
it
back.
So
any.
A
Community
outreach
plans,
I
know
you
did
a
farm
D
program
last
year,
you're
in
the
schools
you're
at
the
boys
club.
What's
on
the
horizon
and
that
front.
H
Yeah,
that's
another
thing
that
we
was
able
to
do
with
our
with
her
extra
Staffing
was
to
get
into
the
schools
and
have
tours
come
to
the
police
department.
So
we
can
speak
with
their
kids.
Actually
Cody
Lewis
officer
Lewis,
put
together
a
nice
presentation
program
of
the
department
get
to
know
the
kids
get
comfortable
around
them
and
hopefully
them
around
us.
It
worked
out
very
well,
so
we
continued
hope
to
do
that
once,
especially
once
we
get
back
to
full
staff.
H
H
Sorry
yeah
he's
actually
scheduled
to
come
back
in
August,
but
it
may
be
September
a
country
a
serving
ours.
So
hopefully
we'll
have
him
August,
but
September
at
the
latest.
Yeah.
A
Coming
back
over
to
Joe
for
I
have
a
bill
on
third
reading.
F
The
next
ordinance
on
that's
on
third
reading
is
ordinance
number
2023-8
in
order
to
the
common
Council,
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana,
amending
the
zoning
map
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana,
and
this
is
dealing
with
the
address
at
3910
Michigan
Road,
changing
it
from
light
manufacturing
to
General
business.
So
if
we
can
have
a
roll
call
vote.
C
G
G
A
Ordinance
that
was
adopted
in
1966
we've
explained
a
issue
that
we're
having
with
the
condition
of
our
roads
and
really
implementing
what
was
designed
in
1966,
which
was
a
permit
process
to
track
those
who
are
doing
excavation
in
City
Madison
streets
and
right-of-ways
and
sidewalks.
A
The
goal
here
is
to
implement
an
effective,
permitting
process,
one
that
tracks
who
is
doing
the
work,
one
that
also
establishes
the
standards
for
the
backfill,
which
Board
of
Public,
Works
and
safety
will
will
approve
per
the
ordinance
and
one
which
warranties
the
work
so
that
we
can
do
our
best
to
avoid
what
has
become
you
know
a
lot
of
potholes
or
failed
failed
excavation
backfill
from
excavation
across
our
community.
That
then,
requires
us
to
spend
hundreds
of
thousands
of
dollars,
repairing
the
roads.
Many
to
have
anything
else.
A
An
overview
at
the
last
or
not
the
last
meeting
with
the
meeting
prior
to
that
as
a
reference
we
can
put
that
back
up
on
the
screen.
If
you
want
it,
but
we're
happy
to
answer
any
questions
or
anybody
in
Council
or
Community
has
about
this.
This
particular
proposal.
G
I
Because
we're
not
going
to
put
a
lien
on
somebody's
house
for
not
clearing
their
sidewalk,
so
it's
a
it's
a
common.
It's
the
right
thing
to
do
clear.
Your
sidewalks!
Clearly
we
own
I
mean
it's
the
city
sidewalk,
but
we
it's
not
feasible
to
go
out
for
the
city
to
clear
all
the
sidewalks
after
every
snow
and
ice
storm.
G
A
A
A
lien
yeah,
we
were
just
saying
the
practical
application
of
this
is
there's
a
duty.
You
know
by
the
property
owner
to
keep
their
sidewalk
clear,
but
as
a
practical
matter,
you
know
we're
we're
not
out
there
enforcing
it
and
clearing
sidewalks.
We
don't
have
the
resources
to
do
that
and
we
didn't
want
to
kind
of
the
expectation
we
would
do
that.
F
Well,
actually,
I
don't
believe.
I
would
do
that.
I
would
not
recommend
that,
because
I
think
what
96
b1a
is
talking
about,
making
an
alteration
within
a
public
right-of-way
and
not
I
mean
there's
a
potential
that
you
could
make
an
alteration:
that's
not
in
a
right-of-way
and
so
I
think
number
Part
B
is
also
thank
you.
It's
it's
a
little
different
I.
Don't
know
that
I
mean
it
may
be
slightly
repetitive,
but
I
don't
think
it's
necessary
to
remove
that
honestly.
F
Okay,
I
would
I
would
probably
recommend
leaving
it
because
we
are,
we
do
run
into
situations
throughout
the
city
where
people
think
that
curbs
and
gutters
are
theirs
and
on
their
property
and
there's
rights
of
ways
where
they
shouldn't
be
or
there's
easements,
where
there
should
be
right-of-ways
and
different
things
like
that.
I
think
this
probably
covers
everything
as
best
as
possible.
G
G
9806
D,
the
last
the
very
end
of
it
that
whole
section
is
about
the
insurance
that's
required
for
the
firms
or
people
that
are
working
doing
work
at
the
very
end.
It
says
they
must
show
satisfactory,
showing
of
having
all
employees
employed
by
the
person
firmware
Corporation
protected
under
the
provisions
of
state
workers,
compensation
law.
So
do
we
need
to
clarify
that
any
subcontracted
or
it's
non-employee,
individuals
who
are
contracted
by
those
firms
or
Corporation
or
person
should
be
covered
as
well.
G
A
E
A
And
your
point
was
again:
do
you
have
a,
would
you
have
a
record.
G
F
F
G
G
F
G
G
G
D
G
This
would
be
the
same
requirements
as
above
like
so.
If
a
new
driveway
hap
is
is
put
in
place,
they
have
to
match
the
sidewalk
get
to
meet
all
of
our
new
standards
right
all
of
our
construction
standards
for
our
driveway.
If
an
existing,
sidewall
or
driveway
exists-
and
they
do
work
on
it
to
to
surface
it
or
resurface
it,
you
want
them
to
make
it
up
to
the
new
standards.
A
Is
that
we're
saying
it
when
they
don't
have
to
because
they're
leaving
the
their
driveway
exactly
the
same,
except
for
the
resurfacing,
rather
than
create
an
additional
burden
on
them?
We're
saying
it's?
Okay,
but
if
you
are
going
to
widen
it,
then
you
have
to
bring
it
up
to
these
I.
Think
it's
okay
as
it's
as
it
was
written
myself,
but.
A
We're
not
trying
to
impose
you
know
new
obligations
on
this
particular
section.
We're
really
trying
to
deal
with
the
excavation,
that's
causing
the
damage.
G
G
A
You
dressed
there
if
someone's,
creating
a
gravel
pit
which
would
be
a
land
use
issue,
I
think
when
we
evaluated
this
ordinance,
we
didn't
feel
it
belong
there,
but
if
we
could
follow
up
with
you
to
see,
if,
if
that
particular
section
would
be
covered.
F
I
think
what
you're
talking
about
is
is
exactly
right,
and
some
of
that
is
covered
in
the
zoning.
When
we
talk
about
and
it
depends
on
where
you
are
and
what
you
know
it
could
be
flood.
You
know
in
if
you're
in
a
flood
zone
or
different
things
like
that,
so
I
I
don't
disagree,
that
that
could
be
looked
at
a
Little
Closer,
but
I.
Don't
think
that
it
necessarily
belongs
in
the
the
streets
and
sidewalks.
G
G
The
last
sentence
says
that
Culverts
for
new
drivers
are
never
to
be
smaller
than
the
closest
Upstream
culvert.
So,
should
we
put
a
distance
limit
on
that?
G
G
A
G
G
Do
you
need
to
have
a
three
foot
Culvert
under
your
driveway,
which
is
what
we're
saying
right
now
versus
a
six
inch
or
12
inch
Culvert.
So
should
there
be
some
distance
exclusions
there,
the
nearest
Culvert
could
be
a
very
long
ways
away.
F
I
I,
honestly
can't
think
of
I
can't
think
of
a
place.
There
probably
is,
but
I
can't
really
think
of
a
place
where
there
is
that
great
of
a
distance
between
culverts
but
I.
Guess
if
it's,
if
it's
okay
with
the
council
I,
think
it's
fair
to
talk
to
Brian
about
that
to
see
if
he
has
any
concerns
and
then
if
he
has
we'll
shoot
an
email
out
to
the
council
and
say
we
may
bring
this
up
because
I
think
it
it's
a
valid
point.
F
I
just
don't
know
if
it's
I
don't
say
practical,
but
I
don't
know
if
it
makes
sense
to
to
do
it
or
not,
and
we
can
you
know
if
we
need
to
I
mean
I,
guess
if
you
want
a
table
that
you
can,
but
if
you
felt
like
something
like
that
was
of
concern
to
everybody,
it's
not
like
we
couldn't,
you
can
take
it
up.
It
just
has
at
third
reading.
It
just
has
some
different
requirements
or.
F
E
A
Moving
on
we'll
open
the
floor
now
to
public
comment,
if
there's
anybody
here
would
like
to
address
mayor's
office
or
city
council,
please
come
to
the
podium,
identify
your
name
address
and
let
us
know,
what's
on
your
mind,.
A
A
We
talked
about
Services,
the
community
offers
with
regards
to
trash
collection,
to
keep
our
community
clean.
We
also
recognize
our
our
Public
Safety
officers,
who
keep
our
community
safe,
which
is
the
foundation
of
any
successful
Community.
A
You
saw
the
back
and
forth
with
regards
to
you
know
replacing
an
ordinance
that
was
drafted
in
1966
to
solve
a
2023
issue
that
we're
trying
to
address,
and
you
also
you
know
you
also
solved
where
Council
and
councilman
temenol
is
on
our
Planning
Commission
evaluating
our
zoning
map,
which
happens
all
the
time
so
that
land
use
can
be
determined
for
the
most
effective
way
for
City
Planning
purposes.
So
there
was
a
lot
on
our
agenda
as
well
as
Department
reports.
A
What's
going
on
in
parks,
and
certainly
you
know
what
types
of
different
levels
of
citations
and
offenses
are
occurring
across
the
community
that
take
the
time
and
attention
and
commitment
from
our
our
law
and
before
I
get
into
mayor's
comments.
I'll
just
say,
since
this
is,
is
everybody
here?
A
senior
who
owns
a
senior
here
attending
tonight.
A
Well,
good
luck
in
all
of
your
future
endeavors
and
for
those
who
are
not
seniors.
Will
you
have
Mr
Barger
again
next
year
and
be
able
to
come
back
to
city
council?
A
Great
Mr
Barger
is
a
great
teacher
and
we
love
having
our
students
here
for
City
Council
meetings,
because
this
is
truly
how
your
works.
There's
a
lot
that
happens
between
our
meetings,
both
with
councilman
who's.
You
know
representing
their
districts
and
in
the
mayor's
office.
Who
has
you
know
working
with
various
departments
that
keeps
the
city
running
and
even
a
community.
A
The
size
of
Madison
operates
24
hours
a
day,
seven
days
a
week,
and
we
pay
special
attention
to
Economic,
Development
and
Public
Safety,
and
also
beautifying
our
community
to
support
tourism
and
high
quality
life
in
mass,
and
so
thank
you
all
for
being
here.
Other
comments,
I'll
keep
it
brief.
I
mentioned
earlier,
the
Crystal
Beach
groundbreaking
Council.
There
was
some
interesting
legislation
that
just
wrapped
up
recently
as
the
general
assembly
came
to
a
close,
quite
a
few
bills.
This
year
that
affects
Economic
Development
and
particularly
the
city
of
Madison's
tax,
increment
Finance
District.
A
So
we
pay
special
attention
to
those
and
work
through
Redevelopment
Commission,
on
making
sure
that
we're
maximizing
revenues
and
economic
development
opportunities,
but
one
of
the
things
that's
going
to
affect
our
budget
for
2023
is
General.
Assembly,
provided
some
property
tax
relief
in
the
form
of
capping
tax
levy,
growth
for
municipalities
at
four
percent.
A
For
the
next
two
years,
you
recall
how
that
generally
works
is
there's
a
rolling
six-year
average
relative
to
household
income,
and
then
that
is
then
formulated
into
maximum
property
tax
levies
and
then
there's
also
property
tax
exemptions
and
circuit
breakers,
as
we
as
we
call
it
that
throttle
throttle
back
the
amount
of
Revenue
that
each
municipality
receives
from
property
taxes.
But
there
are
some
special
exemptions
in
this
year's
legislation
that
is
going
to
affect
our
revenue
for
2024.
A
A
couple
of
other
initiatives-
I
mentioned
the
Tiff,
but
there
is
a
a
residential
Tiff
that
is
out
there
that
city
of
Madison's
evaluation.
So
we
can
promote
housing
development
in
our
community
and
then
something
that's
important
for
tourism,
something
that
the
tourism
industry
has
been
lobbying
for
for
several
years
with
Senate
Bill
20
and
that's
the
enabling
legislation
at
the
state
level
or
the
city
to
adopt
an
ordinance
that
creates
a
thing
called
the
Dora
with
all
the
festivals
that
we
have
in
the
city
of
Madison.
A
A
Financial
assistance
been
greatly
needed
in
that
area.
Heretofore.
A
Public
Health
initiatives
by
the
community
has
been
funded
by
our
very
very
tiny
amount
of
property
taxes.
It's
a
very
low
per
capita
amount.
This
is
going
to
greatly
enhance
that,
and
then
there
was
one
other
bill.
That's
going
to
require
all
municipalities
to
have
live
streaming,
And
archiving
of
meetings
of
all
public
meetings
that
will
does
not
go
into
effect
until
2000.
A
We
already
live
stream
and
archive
the
majority
of
our
public
meetings.
This
statute
requires
the
live
streaming.
And
archiving
for
a
certain
time
period
of
all
public
meetings,
so
we're
probably
ahead
of
the
curve
with
the
capability
of
doing
that,
because
we
have
our
own
camera
system,
but
there's
a
there's
a
lot,
there's
a
lead
time
associated
with
that,
but
we'll
start
figuring
how
we
can
Implement
that
as
soon
as
possible,
so
that
all
of
our
public
meetings
can
be
live,
streamed
and
archive.
A
We
still
think
it's
great
that
members
of
our
community
come
to
the
meetings,
that's
a
great
way
for
engagement,
but
we
know
that
not
everybody
can
be
at
a
meeting,
watch
it
and
then
follow
up
with
any
of
our
Council
or
mayor's
office
afterwards,
and
that's
certainly
fine
too.
But
there
is
a
safe
statute,
that's
going
to
add
some
more
requirements
on
municipalities.
Lastly,
I'll
mention
we
have
all
of
our
state
permitting
now
for
the
the
work
we're
doing
at
Sunrise
Crossing
the
development
there.
We
just
signed
a
a
joint
maintenance
agreement
with
indot.
A
That's
permitting
us
to
remove
the
fence
line
all
that
overgrowth
there
on
the
north
side
of
Sunrise
Crossing,
so
that'll
be
taken
care
of
we're
doing
wayfinding
on
the
hilltop,
we're
also
doing
more
more
Gateway
development
up
there
and
then
that
we
also
received
our
permits.
It
took
several
months,
but
we've
received
of
our
permits
for
the
work
that
involving
the
Culver's
development,
so
that
should
we'll
have
a
groundbreaking
for
the
Culver's
restaurant
in
in
June.
Sometime
and.
A
A
So
lots
of
information
out
there
visit
our
website
be
informed,
call
either
one
of
us
or
call
Scott
or
anybody
any
one
of
our
department
heads.
We
also
have
an
online
report
and
issue.
That's
really
easy.
I'm
burning
it
up
with
my
staff
I'm
going
on
there
myself,
and
it
allows
me
to
track
things
that
I
see
in
in
the
resolution.
So
it's
easier
than
ever
to
communicate
and
tremendous
amount
of
information
for
the
public
to
consume,
about
what's
happening
in
their
City.
I
will
pause.
A
E
A
They
have
detour
signs
already
placed
but
they're.
If
you
ignore
the
detour
signs
where
they
are
near
VV
you're
going
to
find
yourself
in
Madison
with
nowhere
to
go.
That's
why
the
signs
are
all
the
way
back
there
and
that's
happened.
A
few
instances
where
those
semis
had
to
be
construction
zone
they're
coming
into
the
construction
zone.
A
But
it
is
it's
it's
it's,
it's
ignoring
the
detour
signs
and
driving
into
a
construction
zone
is
just
but
I
will
bring
it
up
to
them.
On
Thursday,
I.
E
Appreciate
that
I
just
wanted
to
let
the
community
know
we've
not
not
forgotten
Park
Avenue.
