Top issues during term (20)
2026 street paving program progress
2027 city budget and 5% employee raises
Raises stack on last year's 10% — roughly 16% over two years of fixed salary cost, per Blair's estimate.
2027 sewer budget review schedule
Not yet determined — the board's budget figures await presentation.
Downtown fiber optic expansion
No direct cost to the city, though past restoration problems cost staff time to fix.
Slate Run Road geotechnical investigation
Part of an existing federal-aid reconstruction project; no new cost approved beyond the investigation itself.
Animal Sales Ordinance
License fees and civil penalties will go to the general fund.
Harvest Homecoming safety and street restrictions
Revenue split is 75% to Main Street, 25% to the redevelopment commission; the value of earlier Thursday hours is unknown.
Trail connection to animal care facility
Up to $25,000 in design costs.
Door-to-door solicitor permits for AT&T vendor
Silver Street park soccer field renovations
$250,000 in tourism bureau funds toward a ~$2 million project; no city funds obligated.
Alley vacation for Oxbo mixed-use development
Taxpayers probably won’t see a direct bill, but the city could take on maintenance, liability, or legal costs depending on how the alley is handled.
Passing of longtime planner John Rosenbarker
Other potential new district designations
National Register listing could bring tax benefits to homeowners; a local district would add review requirements for exterior work.
DePauw Avenue conservation district
Unenforced property deterioration affects neighboring property values in historic districts.
Pageant site Bank Street closure and access
No direct cost to the city; road and water line work is tied to the developer's project obligations through December 2028.
UV project fund shortfall and $141,824.91 transfer
The exact amount of Pay App #6 wasn't stated, but it's a payment on a sewer utility construction contract.
Playground and flood-zone park planning
Claims of $287,916.64 were approved to cover district operations.
Downtown event season
One Southern Indiana funding appropriation
Would commit EDIT, General, and Riverboat tax revenue to One Southern Indiana; the exact amount is not stated on the agenda.
Alley traffic safety near Reno Avenue
Minor cost for two warning signs; any stop sign or speed control would cost more later.
