A
Welcome
everyone

is
January
the
17th
believe

we're
rolling

into
February
and,
like
I
said,
we
have
a
great
agenda
tonight.
We
are

meeting
for
archive
purposes,
but
it's

city,
mass
and
YouTube
channel.
So
I
want
to
welcome
everybody
here
as
typical
with
each
of
our
City
Council
meetings.
We
will
Begin
by
standing
and
removing
our
hats
and
reciting
the
Lord's
Prayer,
followed
by
the
Pledge
of
Allegiance,
then
we'll
get
into
tonight's
business.
Thank
you.
A
Boy,
it's
great
to
see
so
many
people
here
tonight
and
the
last
hook,
Treasurer
Randy
for
a
roll
call
good.
A
A
You
moving
on
presentation,
petitions,
memorials
or
Monsters
introduction,
motions
and
guests,
nothing
there
and
we'll
move
on
to
the
two
bills
on
first
reading
and
we'll
get
to
the
rest
of
it.
First.
E
Bill
on
first
reading
is
ordinance
number
2023-1,
an
ordinance
of
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana,
establishing
the
Paul
Braun
non-reverting
fund,
whereas
the
State
Board
of
accounts
in
their
June
2020
cities
and
towns
bullet.
Since
the
state
of
the
separate
separate
fund
for
each
Grant
is
required,
and
whereas
the
city
of
Madison
has
entered
into
a
grand
agreement
with
the
National
Park
Service
and
whereas
the
city
of
Madison
wishes
to
establish
a
fund
to
deposit
funds
and
pay
expenses
related
to
the
National
Park
Service
Paul
Braun
Grant.
E
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordained
by
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana
as
follows.
An
account
is
established
for
the
purposes
of
depositing
monies
from
the
granting
agency
Appropriations
from
the
city's
accounts
and
from
any
other
lawful
source
for
paying
or
required
obligations
for
the
city
of
Madison.
On
the
accepted
Grant,
the
account
shall
be
named.
The
Paul,
Braun,
Grant
and
underverting
fund
and
all
funds
contained
in
the
account
shall
be
expended
only
for
the
exclusive
purpose
of
paying
expenses
relating
to
the
grant.
E
The
account
shall
be
non-inverting
exists
perpetually
unless
terminated
by
a
subsequent
ordinance
enacted
by
the
common
Council.
If
the
account
is
terminated
by
a
subsequent
ordinance
enacted
by
the
common
Council,
the
remaining
balance
of
the
terminated
account
shall
revert
to
the
general
budget
of
the
common
Council.
E
Whereas
the
Madison
plan
commission
has
voted
to
recommend
to
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana
that
the
zoning
map
of
the
following
described
property
be
changed
from
General
business
to
light
manufacturing,
and
that
is
3122.
Clifty
drive
and
3134
Clifty
Drive,
whereas
is
in
the
best
interest
of
the
citizens
of
Madison
Indiana
that
the
zoning
of
the
map
be
amended
accordingly.
And
whereas
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana
concurs
with
the
recommendations
submitted
to
it
by
the
Planning
Commission.
E
Now,
therefore,
be
it
ordained
by
the
common
Council,
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana,
the
section
one,
the
city
of
Madison
zoning
map
be
amended
so
that
the
following
Zoning
for
the
following
described
property,
be
changed
from
General
business
to
light
manufacturing
and
that's
the
same
addresses
that
I
read
above
section.
Two.
This
ordinance
shall
be
in
full
force
in
effect
from
and
after
this
date.
F
Evening,
mayor
good
evening,
Council
a
few
dose
from
the
Department
I'll
go
over
before
getting
into
the
into
the
year-end
results.
We
have
a
four
openings
at
the
police
department.
The
two
were
created
by
Ben
Flint,
being
elected
Jefferson,
County
sheriff
and
with
the
announcement
of
Captain
Dan
Sly
retiring
from
the
Madison
police
department.
As
of
January
22nd
of
this
year,
with
22
years
of
service,
Dan
will
be
leaving
us
to
go
to
the
Indiana
gaming
commission.
F
We
appreciate
all
his
years
of
service
to
the
police,
department
and
I
believe
we'll
be
recognizing
him
at
the
at
the
next
city
council
meeting.
So
the
four
that
we've
offered
the
conditional
offers
of
employment
too,
are
Jordan
Blakemore,
Colton,
Fox,
Cody
short
and
Aaron
I
Watson
Jr,
who
is
the
son
of
Aaron
Watson
who's
currently
serving
on
the
police
department,
have
a
have
a
father
or
son
accommodation.
F
F
F
That
we're
getting
them
up
and
running-
hopefully
we
get
them
to
the
academy
he's
scheduled
so
we'll
bring
him
on
probably
a
month
or
so
beforehand,
kind
of
get
it
acclimated
to
the
department
get
the
uniforms
here,
I
think
squared
away.
So
when
they
come
back,
they
can
hit
the
ground
running
in
our.
In
our
dinner
we
did
receive
today
a
7
600
Grant
from
JC
jtap,
which
is
Jefferson
County,
Justice
treatment
and
prevention
program
for
our
canine
program,
so
my
well
needed
and
and
be
well
spent
in
that
program.
F
I
believe.
Maybe
you
have
I
believe
you
have
in
front
of
you.
Our
yearly
stats
from
2022
and
I
do
have
some
differences
from
2021
that
the
I
would
like
to
point
out
to
the
council
and
in
21
we
had
a
total
of
11
000
627
calls
and
we
had
an
increase
to
12
833,
which
is
an
increase
again
of
over
1200
or
yeah
1206
calls.
F
F
F
Showing
progress,
in
other
words
that
I'm
happy
about
is
our
B
and
E
theft
for
businesses,
residents
and
others
is
actually
down
88
from
the
year
before
spoke
of
as
we
battle
narcotics
and
make
a
narcotic
arrest
and
take
drug
dealers
and
drug
users
off
the
streets.
Our
property
crime
should
decrease
and
that's
you
know
pointed
in
the
direction
so.
C
F
Continue
to
to
do
what
we've
been
doing
and
that's
be
aggressive
with
our
drug
dealers
and
our
drug
users,
overdose
calls
were
23
that
we
didn't
have
a
record.
That
was
something
new.
We
started
keeping
this
year,
so
I
don't
really
have
a
lot
to
to
compare
that.
To
that
you
know.
F
That's
kind
of
a
tough
number
to
really
keep
track
of
I
mean
there's
overdoses
that
you
know
maybe
going
to
the
hospital
that
we're
not
aware
of,
and
that
those
are
just
the
calls
that
the
that
we
had
another
call
that
I
want
to
try
to
keeping
track
of
this
year.
Was
mental
health
calls.
Quite
often
you
know
we
get
calls
of
individuals
acting
bizarre,
strange
or
whatever
it
may
be,
maybe
in
some
kind
of
mental
mental
health
issue
crisis
and
we
responded
to
84
of
those
this
year.
The
keeping
didn't
really
have
anything.
F
F
He
actually
had
47
or
involved
in
47
arrests
this
year,
involving
narcotics,
so
we'll
be
able
to
track
them
better
with
all
of
our
dogs
and
also
give
you
numbers
as
far
as
the
amount
of
drugs
that
are
seized
and
the
financial
gain
that
we've
taken
off
the
streets
away
from
these
dealers,
when
we,
when
we
make
these
arrests
so
we'll
continue
to
tweak
our
numbers
and
try
to
try
to
give
you
the
best
view
that
we
can
on.
You
know
what
we're
doing,
but
the
get
a
busy
year
at
the
total
calls
up.
1206.
F
majority
of
that's
related
to
just
being
proactive
out
on
the
street,
working
on
the
on
the
complaints
that
we
receive
throughout
the
community
and
with
that
I
have
Chief.
A
I
would
say
that
you've
had
a
busy
year
in
20,
22
and
the
cause
and
effect
here
is
more
focused
on
drug
interdiction,
which
is
actually
reducing
drug
related
crime
and
more
focus
on
traffic
related
issues.
And,
while
you
know,
citations
and
warnings
are
up,
complaints
about
speeding,
which
is
always
a
problem
across
a
town,
seem
to
be
subsiding
a
little
bit
so
sure.
B
F
I
think
the
parking
complaints
down
53
would
also
indicate
the
actions
that
we're
trying
to
take
with
the
abandoned
vehicles
or
vehicles
that
are
left
for
extended
period
of
times
in
areas
which
they
shouldn't
be
so
I
know.
We
got
a
long
way
to
go
and
I
know
each
council
person
hears
a
phone
call,
probably
daily
about
speeding
or
or
vehicle
complaints
and
and
whatever,
but
we're
giving
it
our
best
and
we'll
keep
trying
to
trying
to
be
perfect,
but
we'll
keep
working
at
it.
A
F
A
It'll,
be
you
know
later
this
year
before
they
are
really
introduced.
Yes,
through
field
training
here
locally,
that's
correct,
being
productive,
but
we
need
to
continue
to
make
that
investment.
Absolutely
yes,.
F
F
A
All
right:
well,
our
second
staff
report
will
come
from
massive
Fire
Department
chief
Ken
washer.
A
G
G
G
G
The
men
and
women
take
their
time
because
we
think
that
that's
important
they're
taught
stop
drop
and
roll
they're
taught
how
to
stay
down
low,
have
a
meeting
place.
We
go
through
all
of
it
with
the
kids.
We
try
to
train
them
young
and
get
them
in.
While
we
can
Festival
coverage,
that's
starting
the
year
before
long
and
city
of
Madison
firefighter
for
whatever
Festival
last
year,
where
they're
providing
EMR
coverage
or
Fire
Protection
in
the
pit
area.
The
firefighters
are
on
the
job.
A
G
And
that's
and
that's
something
that
a
lot
of
times
is
overlooked
when
it's
in
the
middle
of
summer
time,
emrs
on
that
mule
and
a
lot
of
times,
it's
not
it's
something
as
simple
as
handing
out
bottles
of
water
to
people,
but
we're
there
on
the
job
doing
it.
G
H
How
many
volunteer
firefighters
do
we
have
currently
110.
A
G
G
We
go
to
the
park
numerous
times
for
high
angle
rescue,
sometimes
it's
as
simple
as
walking
in
the
mountains.
Sometimes
it's
not
just
depends
on
what
they've
gotten
themselves
into.
G
We
not
only
stay
in
the
state
of
Indiana.
We
go
across
the
river.
We
have
a
mutual
agreement
with
Milton.
G
They
will
come
and
help
us
and
they
have
the
they
have
equipment,
not
only
there
but
they'll
come
here
if
they're
a
phone
call
away.
If
we
need
them
here,
they're
a
phone
call
away.
We
are
looking
at
a
rescue
craft
in
the
future
for
the
city
of
Madison,
Fire
Department,
that's
something
that's
needed.
G
G
Milton
has
been
there
countless
number
of
times
when
we've
had
people
on
the
bridge
and
things
of
that
nature
with
their
rescue
little
rescue
boat.
But,
yes,
we
do
have
quite
a
few
Mutual
Aid
agreements.
We
also
have
mutual
Aid
agreement
with
Hanover.
If
the
one
of
the
taller
structures
in
the
college
out
there
gets
on
fire,
we
will
respond
to
Quint
out
there
automatically
to
that
and
same.
If
we
need
them,
they
will
respond
with
us.
A
Another
very
busy
and
robust
year
and
as
I've
said
before,
when
you're
not
responding,
you're
training,
yes,
sir,
and
look
at
the
hours
that
have
been
committed
by
our
volunteer
firemen
over
the
course
of
a
year.
G
So
we
come
up
with
number
one:
each
firefighter
in
the
city
of
Madison
be
a
factory
firefighter
has
to
have
12
structural
firefighting
hours
of
training
per
year.
He
has
to
have
his
Hazmat
Hazmat
update,
along
with
everything
that
OSHA
requires,
so
the
average
firefighter
must
do
a
minimum
of
20
hours
a
year.
G
Roughly
now,
if
you
are
in
rescue
there's
an
additional
four
hours,
if
you
are
in
the
hazardous
material
station,
there's
another
four
hours,
if
you're
an
officer,
there's
another
10
hours,
so
the
higher
up,
you
go
the
more
training
you
have
to
do,
the
more
responsibility
you
get
the
more
returning
you
have
with.
That
being
said,
we
have
some
members
that
go
so
far
beyond.
Above
and
beyond
we
have
trained.
We
have
some
members
close
to
100
hours
of
training.
G
We
have
some
members
that
have
attended
100
fires
this
year,
100
calls
they
made
now
that's
above
and
beyond
their
normal
job
and
their
commitments
to
their
families
and
everything
else.
They
have
done
that.
So
we
got
our
heads
together
and
we
come
up
with
well.
How
are
we
going?
How
are
we
going
to
award
these
people
well
number
one
right
off
the
bat
we
didn't
want
to
call
it
first
and
second
place,
because
these
people
have
done
so
much.
There
is
no.
No.
There
is
no
one
in
second
place
here.
G
G
G
G
G
That's
next
year,
all
right
now
our
Top
Gun
Awards,
like
I,
said
some
of
these
guys
just
are
so
far
above
that
it's
way
up
there
station
one
Lieutenant,
Jesse
Plummer.
G
H
G
G
I
have
no
doubt
in
my
mind
that
they're
going
to
be
here
next
year
and
they
might
be
very
first
next
year.
That
was
due
no
fault
with
their
own.
E
And
we
have
ordinance
number
22-35,
an
ordinance
of
the
common
Council
of
the
city
of
Madison
Indiana
authorizing
the
issuance
of
Economic
Development
local
tax
revenue
bonds
series
2023
to
provide
funds
for
a
portion
of
the
cost
of
the
acquisition,
construction
and
installation
of
certain
improvements
to
Crystal,
Beach
pool
and
addressing
other
matters
connected
there
with,
and
this
is
on
third
reading.
So
we'll
have
a
roll
call
vote.
H
H
B
A
A
C
A
D
Good,
how
are
you
great?
Thank
you?
My
name
is
Michael
Fox
and
I
live
at
1119,
Wells
Drive
and
we're
having
a
problem
with
water.
D
It's
pretty
bad,
our
neighbor
next
door
to
us
I'm,
not
going
to
mention
his
name.
You
can
find
that
pretty
easily
what's
happening
is
his
yard,
and
this
was
even
during
the
drought
and
everything,
but
it
wasn't
draining
as
bad
there's
something
going
on
I,
don't
know
if
we've
had
two
or
three
officials
from
the
City
come
out
and
look
at
it
and
they
can't
find
anything,
but
the
water
is
standing
so
much
that
it's
getting
into
our
yard.
We
sink
in.
D
You
know
four
or
five
inches
on
the
side
of
our
house,
and
it
is
constantly
running
from
a
pipe
that
was
installed,
which
I
understand
is
is
illegal
on
his
property.
It
cannot,
if
it's
natural
I,
can't
do
anything
about
it
and
I,
don't
know
if
the
city
is
able
to
do
anything
about
it,
but
it's
starting
to
erode
the
dirt
around
the
streets.
Water
is
seeping,
I
know
it
is
the
guy
came
out
and
looked
at
it
today.
He
didn't
talk
to
us.
D
Yes,
yes,
but
the
water,
the
water
has
been
standing,
but
not
as
bad
in
his
yard.
We
have
no
water
standing
in
our
yard,
except
for
off
of
his
property
and
and
in
a
ditch,
we've
like
I,
said:
we've
lived
there
24
years
and-
and
we
have
never
had
this
problem
before,
and
the
city
came
out
and
tested
the
water
to
see
if
there
was
fluoride
in
it
or
something
from
the
city,
and
they
said
there
was
none
and
the
other
guy
the
guy
came
out
today.
D
He
said
that
there
was
no
water
seepage
underneath
the
road,
but
you
can
tell
there
is
again:
he
didn't
talk
to
us,
you
know
or
anything
which
I
think
he
should
have.
But
you
know
it's
either
here
or
there
we
were
home
and
I
tried
to
talk
to
the
neighbor
and
I
told
him.
Something
needs
to
be
done
about
this,
because
it's
on
your
property
and
he
cussed
me
out,
you
know
and
I
tried
to
be
as
nice
and
friendly
as
I
could
be,
and
he
said
he's
not
paying
for
it.
D
Well,
that's
neither
here
nor
there
I
just
need
some
advice,
maybe
from
the
council
or
from
the
mayor
or
somebody
of
what
can
be
done
about
it.
If
anything,
it
is
not
run
off.
It's
constantly
standing
water
and
when
it
rains
yes,
water
stands,
but
it's
not
rained
that
much.
You
know
it
has
sort
of,
but
this
is
before
it
rained.
It
was
standing
water
in
his
in
his
yard
and
it's
all
over
his
yard.
D
It's
even
seeping
into
the
Neighbors
on
the
other
side
of
it,
and
it's
it's
getting
pretty
bad,
especially
with
the
drainage
in
the
front
where
he
put
that
height,
it's
eroding
our
yard
and
it's
in
our
driveway
and
I
understand.
There's
laws
about
this
and
I
might
have
to
take
him
to
civil
court,
but
I
don't
know
if
the
city
can
can
help
or
or
what
they
can
do.
B
He
has
a
privacy
fence
and
I
went
on
the
side
of
our
yard,
which
is
like
I'm
talking
about
the
east
side
of
our
yard,
near
our
driveway
in
our
garage
and
I
can
actually
hear
running
water.
It
sounded
like
a
spigot
that
was
on
spraying,
and
this
was
like
two
or
three
weeks
ago
and
I
never
did
find
out.
I
couldn't
see
where
it
was
coming
from,
but
his
whole
backyard
on
rabid,
Lane.
B
D
A
Solving
storm
water
related
drainages,
it's
not
storm
water.
It
is
a
if
it's
like
I.
H
H
H
E
So
the
yeah,
the
issue
is
going
to
be
whether
or
not
it's
natural
or
whether
it's
something
else
in
the
law.
There's
this
Doctrine
called
the
common
enemy
Doctrine
and
the
kind
of
everybody
can
control
the
flow
of
water
and
they
can
you
know
people
can
divert
water
out
of
their
yard
onto
their
neighbor's
yard,
and
it's
it's
okay
under
the
law,
because
it's
the
common
enemy,
Doctrine
and
water
is
a
common
enemy
of
all
and
you
can
move
it
along
and
that
person
can
move
it
along
too.
D
E
E
E
A
Talk
detector
and
engineer
about
how
do
you
or
or
a
contractor
about
how
do
you
then
capture
and
divert
the
water
back
out
to
a
normal
drainage
so
that
it's
you
know
dispersed
if.
H
H
I
Water
department
has
been
out
there
to
test
it
and
it
did
not
test
positive
for
chlorine
right
so
and
then
Tony
surrounds
was
out
there
today
to
try
to
check
to
see
if,
if
he
could
figure
out
where
the
water
was
coming
from,
and
if
there
was
anything
that
he
could
do
and
unfortunately
he
he
couldn't
tell
where
the
water
was
coming
from.
Only.
C
A
D
C
D
D
A
Thing:
Mr
Fox,
thank
you,
Miss
Fox.
Is
there
anyone
else
here
who
would
like
to
make
a
public
comment.
A
Mr
stemmer
we'll
follow
up
with
you
on
this
I'm,
sorry
that
you're
having
a
we'll
do
whatever
we
can
to
help.
Is
there
anybody
else
here
who
would
like
to
address
Council
or
mayor's
office.
A
Well,
I've
got
a
couple
of
updates
I'd
like
to
share
particularly
quite
a
bit
of
activity
in
today's
Board
of
Public
Works
and
safety.
We
approved
our
first
quarter,
Pace
grants
11
projects
and
almost
a
half
a
million
dollars
in
new
historic
preservation
occurring
across
the
district,
several
of
which
were
in
our
targeted
revitalization
areas
for
dilapidated
endangered
property.
So
I
want
to
continue
to
thank
property
owners
for
the
investment
that
they're
making
all
across
town,
because
it
is
making
a
big
difference
in
our
neighborhoods.
A
After
a
two
or
three
year
long
process,
we
did
Issue
a
notice
to
proceed
to
the
three
contractors
who
were
awarded
contracts
for
our
2023
water
Improvement
project,
so
that
occurred
today,
and
we
also
outlined
today
an
initiative
that
Tony
steinhardt
had
been
working
on
for
the
city,
which
is
a
Services
agreement
with
Duke
for
Energy
savings.
A
So
we
are
doing
an
energy
audit
on
the
900
902
light
public
light
fixtures
that
we
have
across
the
city
and
we're
estimating
that
we
can
reduce
our
annual
costs
by
converting
to
LED
efficient
lighting
with
Duke
reduce
our
annual
cost
by
about
30
percent,
as
well
as
capture
an
over
thirty
thousand
dollar
rebate.
So
working
on
that
and
then
about
a
week
ago
at
our
Southern
Indiana
Redevelopment
Authority
meeting,
they
approve
the
final
or
should
say
three
additional
ready
destination,
Madison
projects
for
the
city.
A
So
we
are
now
in
the
final
stages
of
getting
that
money
fully
allocated
by
the
Indiana
Economic
Development
commission,
and
then
we
will
have
all
five
of
our
destination.
Madison
projects
gone
through
the
approval
process,
two
of
which
are
already
under
construction,
and
these
three
will
be
starting
construction,
probably
early
second
quarter
of
this
year.
So
it's
been
a
very
busy
last
couple
of
weeks
with
lots
of
investment
across
the
community,
a
lot
of
co-investment
a
lot
of
leveraging
City
dollars
to
make
a
tremendous
impact
in
the
multi-million
dollar
level
for
the
community.
A
So
great
things
are
happening.
There
I'll
pause
there
before
we
get
to
the
motion
to
adjourn,
but
counsel
is
anything
you'd
like
to
add
before
I
make
one
final
comment.
A
Subject
to
hopefully
no
surprises
and
final
inspections,
but
we
will
be
coordinating
to
have
the
Tuesday
February
7th
2023
city
council
meeting
in
our
new
space
at
Crystal
Beach,
so
be
on
the
lookout.
A
For,
for
that
we
are
continuing
to
finalize
punch
list
and
inspections,
the
installation
of
the
elevators
nearly
complete,
but
I'm,
I'm
cautiously
optimistic
here
that
we
will
have
our
February
7th
meeting
at
Crystal
Beach
and
give
yourselves
and
the
community
who
is
attending
that
night,
an
opportunity
to
see
the
newly
renovated
space
so
we're
going
to
keep
plugging
away
to
make
that
come
to
fruition,
and
that's
all
I
have
for
tonight
appreciate
everybody
for
being
here.
Is
there
any
you're
moving
Debbie?
Are
you
moving
toward
the
podium?
Oh
you're,
moving
out
the
door.
A
I
want
to
thank
everybody.
That's
here
tonight
and
I'll
pause
there
and
if
there's
anything
else,
if
not
we'll
have
a
motion
to
adjourn
I
moved
to
adjourn.
