Each
and
every
time
we
we
swear
to
our
new
officers,
we
look
to
our
future
and,
as
we
get
to
know
them,
we
realize
that
it's
right
with
the
dnp
so
tonight
that
my
honor
to
have
two
sworn
in,
and
we
will
first
start
with
kayla
taylor
moore.
Can
you
a
few
of
your
family
here
would
like
to
come
up
with.

Damon
l
welch
park
to
honor
former
mayor
danielle
welch
and
his
many
contributions
to
the
city
of
madison
ibm,
whereas
the
common
council,
the
city
of
madison,
desires
to
amend
city
advising
code
9718
to
state
that
it
shall
be
illegal
for
any
persons
to
possess
alcoholic
beverage
in
any
city
park,
with
the
exception
of
sunrise
golf
course.
So
long
as
alcohol
is
sold
pursuant
to
the
rules
and
regulations
of
the
state
of
indiana
pursuant
to
a
city-owned
alcohol
permit.
H
Furthermore,
alcohols
may
be
permitted
at
other
city
parks.
If
said,
park
is
utilized
for
a
festival,
concert
or
other
activity
that
is
approved
by
the
city
of
madison,
and
all
rules
and
regulations
of
the
state
of
indiana
are
followed
to
allow
the
sale
or
consumption
of
alcohol,
whereas
the
common

the
city
of
madison,
desires
to
delete

Campground.
H
Now,
therefore
being
remained
by
the
common
council.
The
city
of
madison
indiana
that
the
city
of
madison
code
ordinances
are
hereby
amended
as
written
about
the
disorder
shall
become
infected
immediately
upon
its
adoption
by
the
common
council.
Signature
of
their
enrollment
book
of
ordinances
and
publication
of
the
businesses.
A
Council,
I
know
that's
first
reading.
I
just
want
to
make
a
couple
of
notes
here,
and
that
is
this.
You
know
what
you're
seeing
like
a
lot
of
the
other
amendments
to
ordinances
is
just
the
amended
sections
as
part
of
a
bigger
ordinance.
The
actual
parks
ordinance
was
partial.
Recreation
ordinance
was
initially
approved
by
council
in
1978,
and
it
was
last
amended
30
years
ago
in
1991..
A
B
F
Much
appreciated
couple
things
we
have
going
on
is
our
hiring
process.
We
are
in
in
the
final,
very
final
stages
of
hiring
two
new
officers
as
well.
I
anticipate
we'll
be
giving
conditional
offers
deployment
formally
in
our
next
merit
board
meeting,
which
will
be
a
week
from
wednesday
and
with
them
with
randy
and
caitlin.
With
our
with
our
new
hire,
we
actually
are
going
to
send
them
to
new
albany
for
the
indiana
law
enforcement
academy,
at
something.
F
I
mean
right
now
has
just
got
a
huge
backlog.
I
don't
know
how
he's
going
to
be
in
that
class.
Several
hundred
we
set
him
down
in
new
albany
to
be
a
lot
of
one-on-one
training
that
classes
there'll
be
20
people,
so
we're
excited
to
be
sending
it
down
there
and
all
the
instructors.
We
know
they're
going
to
get
a
very
good
education
and
it's
it's
something
that
they'll
try
and
we'll
also
be
the
money
saving
for
the
department
as
well
to
study
that
they
can
come
home
every
night.
F
F
So
if
you
wonder,
what's
going
on
in
your
neighborhood
or
down
the
street,
you'll
be
able
to
click
on
there'll,
be
icons
of
the
calls,
click
on
and
see
what
call
they
had
stored
in
your
house
last
night
or
what
calls
are
going
on
in
your
neighborhood?
Are
you
having
a
lot
of
pests
from
vehicles
and
those
type
of
things
so
that
will
be
accessible.
F
F
A
little
extra
charge
to
to
the
taxpayers
that
is
part
of
the
system
that
we
already
have
up
and
running,
and
it
will
be.
We
saw
in
this
new
app
that
I
think
people
will
enjoy
we'll
get
on
see
what's
going
on
throughout
the
game
throughout
the
city,
our
firearms
training
is
coming
up
in
june.
That
class.
G
F
Filled
up
pretty
quickly,
we
have
20
in
that
class,
so
we
anticipate
holding
a
civil
war
throughout
the
summer.
There's
been
a
lot
of
interest
and
there's
a
lot
of
interest
in
firearms
and
in
ownership,
and
we
just
wanted
to
do
what
we
can
to
make
that
safe
and
give
everybody
the
opportunity
to
learn
how
to
use
their
weapons.
So
there
will
be
four
hours
of
classroom
and
four
hours
of
actually
on-range
training.
So
we're
looking
forward
to
do
that.
F
F
F
Past
involuntary
manslaughter
matter
of
fact,
this
was
an
entire
life,
pretty
much
it
was
being
a
criminal,
and
I
guess
I
got
the
greatest
satisfaction
at
the
center
here
when
the
judge
mulk
stated
during
his
handing
down
the
sentence
that
had
not
law
enforcement
intervened
stepped
in
another
14
year,
old
girl
would
have
likely
more
than
likely
been
molested
by
this
guy
and
having
heard
that
and
looking
at
the
faces
of
the
wall
street
that
worked
so
hard,
and
this
is
the
end
of
the
entire
part.
Now
that
just
makes
you
better.
F
It
all-
and
I
just
wanted
to
bring
that
up.
I
know
I
talked
quite
a
bit
about
that
about
that
operation
but
wow
that
powerful
what
you
just
said
yesterday.
I
appreciate
him
7z
hannah
downs.
We
appreciate
our
prosecutor,
david
sutter,
worked
very
hard
with
us
and
he
doesn't
have
standard
jobs
with
that
I'll.
Take
any
questions
chief.
I
do
have
one
question.
Yes,
sir.
First
off,
I'm
so
excited
about
the
crime
happening,
because
I
think
it's
something
we've
been
doing
for
decades
right.
F
Question
yeah,
I
I
believe
with
my
understanding
from
this
point
forward,
but
you
know
if
there
is
something
we
can
add,
then
we'll
certainly
do
so,
and
I
don't
want
to
take
any
credit
for
that.
Major
benefit
is
overseeing
and
just
doing
a
wonderful
job.
This
is
his
baby
and
he's
picked
it
up
and
he's
running
with
it,
but
certainly
the
benefit
of
all
of
our
citizens.
Perfect.
Thank
you.
Thank
you.
F
A
So
all
the
things
that
you've
been
doing
with
regard
to
staffing,
manpower,
training,
utilization
of
technology,
evidence
handling,
expansion
of
detective
resources,
drug
and
human
trafficking
interdiction,
that's
just
a
short
list
of
what
they've
been
doing
in
the
past
year
year
and
a
half,
so
I
think
you've
done
a
fantastic
job
and
we're
very
proud
of
the
police
department.
The
fortunate
good
staff.
A
I
J
K
Good
evening
you
all
have
my
written
report,
so
I'm
just
going
to
touch
on
the
highlights
crystal
beach
bids
were
opened
for
works.
On
april,
we
received
three
bids.
The
bids
range
from
2.5
million
to
three,
so
we're
still
reviewing
those
in-house
and
hopefully
we'll
award
that
contract
shortly
work
under
stuller.
I
will
begin
at
ohio,
theater,
probably
next
week
as
soon
as
the
rain
lightens
up.
K
Riverside
tower
loss
announced
that
they
are
having
a
grand
opening
on
may
13th
at
6
00
pm,
I'd
like
to
invite
everyone
to
attend
that
we've
got
confirmation
that
lieutenant
governor
crouch
will
be
in
attendance
at
that
event,
so
that
really
kicks
off
that
project.
It's
one
of
the
first
that's
completed
construction
and
they'll
already
have
residents
in
there,
but
they're
going
to
finish
the
final
before
that
event.
K
In
progress,
we
awarded
a
contract
to
inventory
all
of
our
sidewalks,
so
you
may
see
a
team
going
around
town
to
rate
all
of
our
sidewalks.
That
will
include
taking
pictures
and
have
people
on
the
ground.
So
if
you
see
somebody
randomly
walking
through
your
neighborhood,
looking
at
the
sidewalks
don't
be
alarmed
they're
doing
their
job
pace.
I'm
happy
to
report
that
we've
had
a
good
number
of
applications
submitted
in
this
last
quarter.
K
The
pace
committee
is
said
to
review
13
of
them
at
their
next
meeting,
just
to
give
you
a
year-to-date
kind
of
numbers
on
pace
for
the
public
funds
we've
awarded
just
over
200
000
in
grant
funds,
and
that
was
matched
by
over
400
000
from
the
owners.
So
we've
got
a
2.4
ratio
for
every
dollar
given
from
the
city
tip
or
county
100.
K
000
of
those
grants
have
gone
towards
elaborating
structures
and
55
000
of
those
have
gone
in
our
target
areas,
as
you
may
know,
may
is
preservation
month
and
so
we're
happy
to
announce
that
we
received
a
grant
from
indiana
humanities
to
create
a
qr
code.
Tour,
that's
going
to
be
focusing
on
really
bringing
awareness
to
historic
preservation
and
all
of
our
great
properties
downtown.
K
Just
to
give
you
an
idea
of
how
busy
our
office
is,
in
march
alone,
of
the
building
sector's
office
issued
11
building
permits,
with
a
total
construction
cost
of
just
over
1.5
million,
so
we're
pretty
busy,
and
I
don't
expect
april
to
get
any
different.
We
do
our
year
our
month
end
reports
at
the
end
of
the
month,
so
those
weren't
ready
for
tonight,
but
I
will
have
those
at
the
next
one
and
that's
all
I
have
to
report
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
E
B
E
Which
is
when
you
look
at
the
dates
it's
pretty
much
the
rest
of
the
year,
so
we'll
either
do
third
or
fourth
week
in
july.
If
that's
one
of
those
works
for
all
of
you
and
then
looking
at
first
second
and
third
reading,
we
will
be
done
by
october
5th,
which
would
give
us
some
extra
room
if
we
have
any
changes
or
anything,
we
need
to
do
prior
to
the
november
1st
deadline.
E
So
a
couple
of
you
have
already
responded
but
respond
to
me,
and
let
me
know
if
both
of
those
july
dates
work
that
would
be
best,
because
if
somebody
can't
do
one,
then
I
know
that
you
can
do
the
other.
So
when
you
have
a
chance
on
that
and
we'll
get
it
on
the
calendar
and
we'll
start
working
that
direction
on
budget.
E
Another
thing
I
wanted
to
just
I
left
hard
copies
of
this
for
you,
which
is
talking
points
about
the
main
street
landscaping
plan.
I've
had
I've
been
contacted
by
three
people.
Two
of
them
are
main
street
business
owners.
One
was
not
just
to
clarify
some
of
the
things
that
we
plan
to
do
want
to
do
and
some
of
the
concerns
going
forward
with
it.
I
won't
read
through
all
that
we'll
put
this
out
on
social
media,
we'll
put
it
on
the
webpage.
D
H
I
want
some
clarification
on
in
in
section
70.04,
section
c,
the
last
sentence
there,
where
it
says
golf
carts
may
cross
at
main
street
only
at
intersections,
controlled
by
automatic,
stop
lights,
and
then
there
was
a
suggestion
for
a
period
there.
And
you
know-
and
I
think
if
we
do
that,
then
that
makes
an
incomplete
sentence.
So
my
recommendation
would
be
if
you
do
want
to
change
that
it
would
be
a
period
and
then
say
golf
carts
may
cross
at
right
angle.
I
I
would
offer
that
amendment
to
say
golf
carts
may
cross
at
main
street
only
at
intersections
controlled
by
automatic
stoplights
period,
additionally
or
without
the
word.
Additionally,
if
you
prefer
golf
carts
may
cross,
and
I
put
in
highway
421
at
the
intersection
of
autumn
back
and
walnut
streets
and
highway
7
at
orchard
street
and
green
road.
K
H
B
C
B
H
A
Council
is
there
any
miscellaneous
item
that
needs
to
be
addressed
before
council
or
the
public
tonight
and
we'll
open
it
up
to
one
of
my
favorite
parts
of
every
city
council
meeting,
and
that
is
our
public
forum
part.
So
anybody
from
the
community
who
was
to
who
wishes
to
address
the
mayor's
office
or
council
please
come
to
the
podium
and
and
share
with
us.
What's
on
your
mind,.
A
A
Yes,
so
we
are
working
on
that
with
the
new
owners,
which
is
trilogy
who
owns
the
senior
center
there
nicole
had
already
stepped
out
right
I'd.
Let
her
give
this
update,
but
she
met
with
them
a
couple
weeks
ago,
because
we
are
concerned
about
the
you
know
the
nature
and
just
the
appearance
of
those
properties
and
the
condition
of
the
properties,
and
they
have
been
evaluating
their
own
efforts
to
either
sell
or
or
renovate
the
properties.
A
We
certainly
have
the
pace
program
that
could
assist
them.
It
is
part
of
the
original
strategic
investment
plan
associated
with
stellar.
There's
been
monies
some
money
set
aside
for
their
restoration,
but
as
of
right
now
there
is
not
a
concrete
plan
or
timetable
for
the
restoration,
and
I
share
concerns
you
have
because
the
condition
that
they
continue
to
be
in
and
certainly
being
in
a
high
profile,
driving
area
on
on
west
street.
So
we
have
a
lot
of
work
to
do
and,
as
part
of
our
you
know,
continued
efforts
about
blight
elimination.
A
Those
are
conversations
that
we
have
constantly
with
the
owner
of
the
property
to
help
create
incentives
and
also
offer
assistance
to
get
there.
So
I
wish
I
could
give
you
a
timetable.
All
I
can
really
say
is
what
I
have
said,
which
is
we
are
having
regular
conversations
with
them
and
that
and
that
didn't
happen,
for
you
know,
for
a
couple
of
years.
Okay,.
J
J
Patrick
because
he's
my
breath
same
question
same
thing,
I
I
don't
know
how
many
people
are
aware,
patrick's,
probably
about
it
on
his
text
message
when
we
moved
here.
Those
two
houses
on
east
were
a
part
of
your
blight
plan.
We
ran
into
it,
knew
all
about.
It
thought
it
was
going
to
be
taken
care
of
if
you're
standing
at.
What's
going
to
be
the
new
marriott
and
you
look
out
the
right
you're.
J
Rubbish-
I
don't
know,
but
if
you're
a
walker,
then
you
notice
everything
in
town
which
has
a
bad
part
too,
but
for
it
to
be
literally
you're
standing.
If
you
stand
at
the
marriott
look
to
the
right,
you're
looking
at
the
back
of
both
of
those
houses
that
are
paving
in
front
and
backsides-
and
I
just
keep
thinking-
is
the
mayor
out
there
to
do
something
about
this?
J
Good
things
that
are
going
on
with
you
know
the
property
you're
purchasing
and
all
of
that
at
the
same
time
I've
sent
patrick
pictures
of
the
buzzwords
that
are
in
that
house.
That's
the
welcome
madison
house,
you
know,
and
I
guess,
a
year
ago
somebody
was
going
to
work
on
that,
there's
no
windows
or
doors.
There
are
homeless
people
in
there
because
I
have
pictures
of
their
camp.
J
You
know
it's
beautiful,
it
is
to
say,
welcome
to
madison
and
the
money
that's
being
spent
there.
That
house
is,
I
guess,
it's
salvageable.
I
didn't
think
the
one
down
home
west
maine
was
from
the
fire
a
year
ago,
but
that's
been
amazing
to
watch
them,
restore
that
property
by
the
pocket
theory
or
whatever
that
in
town.
J
But
you
know
I'm
thinking
about
enhancing
our
town
and
what
am
I
doing,
that
is
asking
people
to
take
care
of
life
and,
on
my
note,
that
I
always
say
is:
please
always
think
anytime,
there's
a
city
enhancement.
The
american
flight
is
the
most
beautiful
enhancement
we
can
have
so
that
welcome
to
madison
sign
would
just
I
told
bob
I'll
dance
in
the
streets
today
they
put
a
flight
pull
up
there
and
I
don't
think
that
was
a
good
thing
for
me
to
tell
him.
A
If
those
properties
that
you're
mentioning
and
frankly
I
haven't-
I
I
think
I
know
which
two
you're
talking
about.
If
they
are,
if
they're
unsafe
structures,
then
what
we'll
do
is
have
our
building
inspector
look
to
see
if
there's
some
action
being
taken
through
an
ordinance
with
regard
to
unsafe
structures,
if
it's
not
an
unsafe
structure
generally,
what
happens
is
we're
appealing
to
the
property
owner
to
sell
the
property
so
that
somebody
else
could
take
on
the
restoration
project?
There's
generally,
a
cost
benefit
and
economic
analysis.
A
A
G
B
A
Service
stations
there,
the
house
that
you
mentioned
councilman
seminole
across
the
street
from
there-
and
it
is
happening
it
just
it
just-
doesn't
happen
as
quickly
as
we
like
it
and
there
are-
and
there
are
some
structures
that
you
know
that
have
pace
drinks
where
the
progress
on
their
restoration
has
been
slowed
down.
And
here
we're
in
an
environment
where
construction
costs
are
between
25
and
50
percent
higher
as
well,
and
that's
creating
a
lot
of
pressure
on
projects.
A
A
We
have,
let's
say,
structures
ordinance
which
would
allow
our
building
inspector
essentially
to
condemn
a
property
and
order
it
demolished.
But
we
really
don't
have
effective
policies
that
deal
with
blight
in
another
way.
We
don't
have
a
property
condition,
ordinance
a
property
maintenance
ordinance,
for
example.
Those
are
things
that
are
definitely
on
our
radar
to
to
craft.
They
just
take
a
lot
of
time
and
and
to
try
to
model
up
an
ordinance.
That
is
a
works
and
it's
enforceable.
H
H
A
It's
often
very
difficult
to
improve
so
well
I'll.
Maybe
leave
it
at
this,
which
is
the
victorian
which
has
been
a
a
blight
on
the
east
end
for
many
many
years
finally
looks
like
it's
getting
some
new
life
with
the
new
owner.
They
have
already
come
before
they've,
either
already
come
or
about
to
come
before
the
historic
district
board
of
review
for
their
restoration
plan,
their
exterior
restoration
plan.
So
there's
a
lot
of
positive
momentum
happening
all
over
town
and
particularly
on
the
east
end
and
we'll
just
continue
to
chip
away
at
it.
A
That'll
take
place
over
the
course
of
the
next
couple
of
weeks
and
then
they'll
be
winding
down
on
the
relative
to
this
year's
state
budget.
This
year
in
next
year's
state
budget,
there
was
500
million
dollars
appropriated
in
the
state
budget
that
will
be
utilized
to
grant
to
regions
across
the
state
city
of
madison.
In
partnership
with
jefferson
county.
A
The
other
thing
that
we're
working
on
and
you'll
see
this
on
the
next
council
agenda,
which
would
be
an
ordinance
to
create
the
fund
for
the
american
rescue
plan
act
monies
that
the
city
of
madison
will
receive
approximately
2.4
million
dollars.
We're
still
working
through
that
particular
federal
act
on
exactly
how
those
monies
can
be
spent.
A
It
looks
in
general,
like
it
is
really
earmarked
for
water
sewer
broadband
public
safety
income
replacement,
those
types
of
things,
so
we
need
to
refine
that
we'll
have
an
ordinance
in
front
of
you
next
week
in
order
to
create
the
fund
in
which
those
monies
will
be
deposited,
we'll
get
it
into
installments
half
this
year.
Half
next
year,
jefferson
county
will
will
benefit
as
well
hanover.
A
All
literally
all
towns,
cities
and
counties
across
the
state
of
indiana
will
benefit
from
this
plan,
and
the
state
of
indiana
believe
received
the
2
billion
approximately
two
to
three
billion
dollars
from
that
act.
Bless
you
from
that
app.
So
we're
really
at
a,
I
think,
an
important
time
in
history,
where
there's
a
lot
of
capital
that
is
accessible
to
us.
What
we
need
to
do
to
be
good
stewards
of
that
capital
is
leverage
it
up
with
private
investment
and
really
make
that
money
go
a
longer
way
and
be
more
impactful
across
our
communities.
A
I
want
to
mention
covet
response.
Governor
holcomb
did
issue
another
executive
order
that
extended
the
public
health
emergency
until
may.
The
31st,
all
of
the
mandates
that
were
in
last
year's
executive
orders,
have
been
essentially
converted
into
advisory
level
guidance,
we're
working
closely
with
the
health
department
to
make
sure
that
everybody
knows
that
vaccinations
and
testing
are
both
in
ample
supply.
A
All
of
those
things
are
really
really
important
and
the
reason
I
bring
it
up
again
is
that
we're
heading
into
a
very,
very
robust
event
season.
The
board
of
public
works
has
been
entertaining
literally
dozens
of
event.
Coordinators
for
chautauqua,
regatta,
fireworks,
music,
festivals,
car
shows
music
in
the
park.
Poker
runs,
you
name
it.
I
think,
just
about
every
every
typical
public
event
is
going
to
come
back
online.
A
A
A
And
this
is
teacher
appreciation
week,
there's
so
many,
so
all
the
teachers
in
the
world
and
in
madison
thank
you
for
everything.
You're
doing,
we
are
still
celebrating
our
interns
who
have
been
interning
with
us
over
the
spring.
We've
had
some
fantastic
interns,
so
lots
going
on
across
the
city
and
across
the
community.
So
thank
you
guys
for
all
you're
doing.
A
Thank
you
all
for
all
you're
doing
and
being
a
part
of
it,
and
I
will
I'll
just
leave
it
there,
which
is
we
continue
to
work
hard
and
make
improvement
in
a
lot
of
different
areas,
and
you
know,
chief
chief
wallace
is
a
great
example
of
literally
having
a
vision
for
where
he
wanted
public
safety
to
go
and
what
you're
seeing
are
the
intentional
outcomes
of
that
vision
and
strategy.
So
gee.
A
Thank
you
for
all
that
same
thing,
true
with
our
our
fire
chief
bill,
devries,
who
isn't
here
tonight,
but
the
things
they're
doing
for
us
public
safety
wise,
is
phenomenal,
my
opinion.
So
I
appreciate
all
the
law
enforcement
in
our
community
and
and
all
of
our
volunteer
farming
too.
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions
from
either
the
audience
or
council.
If
not,
we'll
will
entertain
a
motion
to
adjourn
our
next
meeting
will
be
may
18th.
