[1:30] Next item up are department head
reports.
[1:33] There were a few copies of the uh me um
department head reports and in the
[1:39] meeting agenda tonight at the back. Are
there any questions from anyone?
[1:46] Thank you.
[1:50] We will move on. I don't see any members
of mayor's youth council tonight. So, we
[1:56] will move into old business, which we
have none.
[2:00] I'm going to I'm going to go a little
out of order on what you see on the
[2:03] agenda tonight. Um,
I'm going to start with our third order
[2:08] of business and which involves Belterra.
Um, Amy Streer is here from the Ripley
[2:14] County Community Foundation to report on
the funds that they received and she is
[2:20] going to give us a an update on how that
worked out. Yeah. So, thank you this
[2:25] evening for yielding a few minutes of
your time to me just so I had the
[2:29] opportunity to come and say thank you.
Um, last fall the council was gracious
[2:34] enough to award uh a $15,000 Belterra
grant for an AED initiative and the
[2:41] whole purpose of that initiative was to
provide every law enforcement officer
[2:45] their vehicle uh to put an AED machine
into their police cruisers. Um, back in
[2:52] the fall when I came, uh, none of our
police cruisers in the county had an AED
[2:58] machine. And now all of our police
cruisers have an AED machine, including
[3:02] 13 or 14 13 that came to the city of
Batesville as well. We um, thanks to
[3:08] your generosity and we received um,
significant support from the Ripley
[3:13] County Health Department, from the
Gilmore and Gilda Reynolds Foundation
[3:16] out of Ozgood. Um, we received some from
the ta uh the um Jim Tyson Foundation
[3:23] out of Versailles as well as numerous
individuals that made um donations. As a
[3:29] result of that, we were able to not only
um buy the enough AED machines for
[3:35] Ripley County, but the Franklin County
Community Foundation came on board and
[3:38] they were also able to raise enough
money to equip all of their law law
[3:43] enforcement officers as well. Um, I will
tell you that um all of the police were
[3:48] very uh police departments were very
grateful for this initiative and for
[3:52] receiving their AEDs. It's kind of um
ironic, but this morning I received a
[3:58] message from the Ripley County Sheriff's
Department that one of their officers
[4:01] last night had to use the AED machine
and was able to um maintain or help
[4:07] maintain a a pulse in a um in an
individual um long enough for the
[4:12] ambulance to get there. and we're all
hoping the best that that individual
[4:15] make it. I don't know enough about it,
but they are being used and they are
[4:19] making a difference. We could not have
done it without your support. So, I
[4:22] thank you. Um, thanks to a another grant
that the community foundation received
[4:27] from another entity. Um, the board of
directors has also been able to
[4:32] establish a an endowment fund that will
help to perpetually support um the AED
[4:38] machines. And so for example, the we
will provide a new set of pads to the
[4:42] Ripley County Sheriff's Department since
they had to use those um yesterday. So
[4:47] thank you very much. Could not have been
done without you. Um and we're very
[4:52] grateful. So So thank you.
>> Thank you, Amy.
[4:56] » And I I just want to put a plug in real
quick. I think Ray Worester is here to
[5:00] make a a Belter request. I have already
worked with Ry. community foundation is
[5:05] well aware of the project that is
occurring at the American Legion Post.
[5:09] We are working with Rey um to get some
grants out to them to help support not
[5:13] only their bathroom project but a sever
several other projects that they have to
[5:17] maintain their building. Um so I saw him
here so I just wanted to give a plug
[5:21] that we are working with him. He is
actively seeking other grant funding as
[5:25] well. So yeah. All right. Any questions
or or concerns?
[5:30] » What do you anticipate? So, you talked
about the pads. Yes. I'm assuming that's
[5:34] going to be the the main thing that
you're going to have to replace once
[5:37] they if they've been used. Do you
anticipate other cost? I mean, I see the
[5:41] 5-year battery. Um,
>> no. And there was a 5-year warranty on
[5:46] the machines provided they were not
submerged in water. If it's not
[5:50] submerged in water, it should be
covered. Any issues? So basically it's
[5:54] going to how can in year six when the
departments maybe need a new machine,
[6:00] how are we going to be able to fund that
to help replace those? Um but right now
[6:05] I think it is just providing pads um to
those officers when they get used or
[6:11] they expire.
>> And what is what do the pads cost to
[6:14] replace those?
>> Uh about $200.
[6:16] » Okay.
>> Mhm. Good question.
[6:22] Any other questions or comments?
>> You guys are going to be unsung heroes
[6:27] at some point. In all honesty, it's a
whole bunch of equipment and obviously
[6:30] we used it once already, but it's
equipment that you purchase that you
[6:33] hope that you never have to use, right?
>> The idea that we have the availability
[6:37] and we have proof of one that's already
had a use. It's that's an amazing
[6:40] opportunity to save lives for sure.
>> Yeah, but you're right. It's one of
[6:43] those things we hope we never have to
use, but yeah, but thank you very much
[6:47] for helping us to reach that goal.
>> Thank you, Amy. Thanks.
[6:53] » Well, um, he already got an
introduction, so Ray, if you want to
[6:58] step up, um, Ray was here, you'll
recall, a couple of months ago, um, and
[7:04] he's back tonight.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I was, um, as a request from
[7:09] the American Legion, do we're upgrading
our, uh, bathroom facilities to make
[7:14] them, you know, ADA compliant.
um because if we hope to be able to rent
[7:20] our hall out a little bit more and and
um be, you know, have a little
[7:26] fundraisers out of it and things like
that. So, um we just hope that we we
[7:32] should have them done by the end of the
month. I mean, we've been in the process
[7:36] of working on them and hopefully they'll
be done by the end of the month.
[7:42] I I know you mentioned or Amy mentioned
you've been working with them on some
[7:46] grants, right? Could you share with us
what others
[7:52] received?
>> Yeah, we we put in but we did have we
[7:55] did re receive some grants already from
the Hillbrand Foundation uh from the
[8:00] Batesville Eagles and from the
Batesville Tool and Die.
[8:05] And uh um I think we do have a couple
other places that we applied for some
[8:11] grants but never heard any response for
them yet.
[8:15] » And again your request
>> um you had a specific request for an
[8:19] amount from
>> Well, we were seeking about 15,000
[8:23] uh if that is possible, but anything
would be greatly appreciated. And uh um
[8:33] » council questions.
>> Would they be eligible for the uh big
[8:36] grant that's going out as well too?
>> I don't believe so.
[8:42] » Yeah, that's why that's why I was
curious. And that
[8:51] » that's what I thought. Okay. Thank you.
Yeah. Just want to check. Okay. Any
[9:00] other questions?
>> What's the time frame on uh completion?
[9:06] » Um hopefully by the end of the month.
>> End of this month. Okay.
[9:09] » Yeah.
[9:14] » So, where's the money going to come from
otherwise? Because it looks like we're a
[9:17] little short.
>> Well, I mean, we've had some
[9:20] fundraisers. We had um well, we have
stillboard shoots. Um, you know, that's
[9:26] the helps. Plus, uh, we have a barbecue
dinner and we have a steak fry and u
[9:34] that's that's our main
>> made folk made fundraisers.
[9:38] » Right.
[9:45] I'll make a motion to award the $15,000.
[9:54] » We have a motion. Is there a second?
>> I'll second.
[10:00] » We have a motion and a second to approve
a $15,000
[10:04] request to the American Legion. All
those in favor say I.
[10:09] » I. opposed.
[10:14] » I said I
>> I said yeah.
[10:16] » Okay. I couldn't hear everybody.
>> Okay.
[10:18] » Sorry. I got a cold.
>> Okay.
[10:20] » The motion carries. Um that your request
is approved.
[10:24] » Do we have
>> Okay. Hey, appreciate it. Thank you very
[10:26] much.
>> Sorry.
[10:27] » Congratulations. Do we have a uh what's
our total of Belter right now?
[10:32] » Just a hair over $75,000.
>> Gotcha.
[10:36] » Thank you.
>> I I I think
[10:40] put it that way
>> if you want.
[10:41] » That's what's in the binder I inherited
today.
[10:43] » What how much was the hair over?
>> Uh he's got 757342.
[10:51] » Okay. Thank you.
[10:56] All right. Um I'm going to I'm going to
go backwards. I'm going to ask Melissa
[11:02] Herzner. She's with uh Casa to give us
uh she had asked last month to come to
[11:09] give us a presentation and I think we
had kind of what I have people were
[11:13] sick. Um so she's here tonight. So
Melissa,
[11:17] » hello. Good evening everyone. Um thanks
for allowing me to come here. Sorry
[11:22] about last uh meeting but everybody was
sick in and out of the office. We didn't
[11:27] know if we were coming or going. Um, my
name is Melissa Hner and I'm the
[11:31] director of SEI Voices for Children, the
Ripley County Courtappointed Special
[11:36] Advocate Program.
And what we do is we're a nonprofit
[11:40] serving children and and families in our
community. And our mission is simple,
[11:46] but it is incredibly important. We
recruit, educate, support, and train
[11:51] volunteers to advocate for the best
interests of the child victims who have
[11:55] experienced abuse or neglect. These are
the children that are in the court
[12:00] system that are probably going to school
with your kids, grandkids, nieces,
[12:04] nephews, or even sitting in your class
or next to you at church. Um, every
[12:09] child in our community deserves at least
that one adult who shows up consistently
[12:14] for them. But many of these children
don't even have that one adult to show
[12:18] up. um before they even get to their
first initial hearing, they've already
[12:23] changed to DCS case workers because they
have one that does assessment, one that
[12:27] does permanency, and then there's, oh,
let's switch it all up again. Um,
[12:32] however, once a CASA volunteer or staff
is assigned to a child, we try to make
[12:39] sure that we are with that child till
the case is closed. We advocate for the
[12:44] child and we go to b back for many of
children. Um, often foster placements
[12:50] change because sometimes they're just
not going to meet the needs of the
[12:53] children. Um, schools change. So, this
is a lot of stuff on a child. So, having
[12:58] that one person show up for them at
every corner is amazing. No matter where
[13:04] they're, and this is terrible to say,
but no matter where their plastic
[13:06] garbage bag goes, we go with them. We go
everywhere. Um, we actually have
[13:11] children right now placed in Northern
Carolina with grandparents. We have some
[13:16] down in the bottom part of Tennessee,
bottom part of Kentucky, and then the
[13:20] entire state of Indiana, all the way up
north, all the way south, west, east. We
[13:25] see every child in our case at least
once a month. Last year, we served 164
[13:31] children in this community. A lot of
people say, "No way." A lot of people
[13:35] get bothered by that because they have
no idea. And I put some um things in
[13:41] your guys' folder, but these advocates
show up monthtomonth. They go to their
[13:47] visits, they speak with the teachers. I
mean, we have a great rapport with the
[13:50] schools in this area. Um, Margaret Mary,
they we get all medical records for the
[13:55] children, but um through our program in
trained community volunteers like you
[14:00] guys. We are appointed by the judge to
advocate for children in court. These
[14:05] volunteers meet the children regularly
at like I said at least once a month. Um
[14:09] gather information from teachers,
doctors, and caregivers. So it could be
[14:12] daycare relatives and then we monitor
the safety and well-beings and then we
[14:18] report directly to the judge and we
advocate for the child's best interest.
[14:22] And what we mean by reporting directly
to the judge is the way the judge puts
[14:25] it is he has attorneys there that want
to follow the attorney law and the
[14:29] attorney lingo and then you have DCS and
their attorney for them. But who who's
[14:35] there for the child? If you have an
attorney for a child, they don't even
[14:39] meet the child. They show up right
before the hearing and give their two
[14:43] cents. We see the children. We know what
they're about. Um, Judge King really
[14:48] thinks the world of our program and has
helped keep us afloat um with his
[14:54] guidance on what we should do and what
we should not do. He he really feels
[14:58] that our volunteers because they don't
have the background in law give the best
[15:02] unbiased
um recommendations.
[15:06] So you're wonder how we impact your
community and as I said last year we
[15:12] served 164 children. We trained and um
supported
[15:17] throughout the entire year approximately
24 community volunteers and then we
[15:22] provided thousand of hours of advocacy.
So we build what our volunteer hours are
[15:29] on um the lowest paid employee from us
and that's about $19 an hour. So you can
[15:35] imagine that's a lot of money that we're
saving with these volunteers and
[15:39] driving. I mean they they go everywhere.
The child the children receive support
[15:44] and stability early. It's reduces
long-term costs to communities including
[15:49] homelessness, incarceration, long-term
public assistance. We just recently
[15:54] started working with the SMART program
in Ripley County on trying to get mentor
[15:59] in to speak to these older youth that
have most of them have been victims of
[16:04] child abuse previously. So, we we're
starting to give that mentor to them to
[16:08] to be able to to have that one
consistent adult. Um,
[16:15] and supporting these children now is
both the right thing to do and smart
[16:19] investment in our community's future.
The current challenge is historically a
[16:24] large portion of our funding for victim
service organizations like ours has come
[16:28] from the office for victims of crime
through the victims of crime act which
[16:32] is a voca grant. You'll hear that a lot.
Um and we were told at the beginning of
[16:38] the year that it's going to be cut an
additional 40%. So in our budget that's
[16:43] about 60 to $70,000 that we're going to
have to look to to rebudget. But we're
[16:48] not freaking out about it because we
will do it no matter what. Um, this has
[16:52] resulted in major reductions to our VOCA
grants, which that's what I was been
[16:55] working on the last couple days. It's
due Wednesday. Um, including here in
[17:00] Indiana for our organization. That means
we are now facing significant funding
[17:05] gaps. Our staff is totally funded by
grants. We do not take donations. our
[17:11] fundraiser that we have once a year. We
use all that money to go back into the
[17:16] community as in supporting our
volunteers, making sure children have
[17:19] what they need. You'd be surprised how
many kids don't have money to play a
[17:24] sport, um haven't been to a museum,
and things of that sort. So, whenever we
[17:30] hear of a need, we go out there and we
try to support that as well with our
[17:34] donations and our fundraisers.
And then why this matters locally of
[17:40] course is the number of children we
serve. So if you think about it, it's
[17:43] about seven classrooms is how many
children we served last year. That's a
[17:48] lot. That's almost 3% of the total
amount of children in Ripley County. Um
[17:56] we if if the funding declines continue
through the VOCA grant and other grants,
[18:01] the number of children we can serve will
be um more at risk. Right now for the
[18:08] last four years that I've been the
director and then the prior year to
[18:12] that, we've never had a wait list. So
there is not one child that is waiting
[18:16] for a CASA advocate. We cover every
single child. Um, and this is why we are
[18:23] coming to our local leaders and
community partners today. There are
[18:27] three three different ways, not just
money, people in our community can make
[18:31] a meaningful difference. The one is
board leadership. We're always seeking
[18:35] community leaders willing to serve on
our board. We usually meet once a month,
[18:40] um, about an hour and a half of your
time, and we welcome all levels of
[18:47] support from that. um our volunteers to
volunteer if it feel it tugging at your
[18:51] heart. Our volunteers are the heart of
the program. If it wasn't for them, we
[18:55] couldn't do what we do. I mean, we
already do a lot. Um staff advocates for
[19:00] children, supports the volunteers,
attends every court hearing, attends
[19:04] every um child family team meeting and
represents that child. After training,
[19:10] volunteers advocate for a child's best
interest and remain involved throughout
[19:14] the court case. So until that child is
in permanency whether that's um
[19:19] reunification with the parents if it is
adoption guardianship or third party
[19:23] custody for many children this volunteer
becomes the one consistent adult I can
[19:28] remember one child um that I had on the
first case when I moved here to this
[19:33] area he had no one he was adopted by his
grandparents and they abused and
[19:39] neglected him and he wanted to play
football so I had to reach out to the
[19:42] school because he was starting in the
middle of a year a Assa volunteer at the
[19:46] time got him into be able to play
football even though it was already
[19:50] started because he wanted to play. I'm
like just let him be on the team. He
[19:53] doesn't have to be out there in the
field all the time. Um
[19:57] one time uh myself and his family case
manager from DCS was the only people
[20:01] that ever showed up to his games. Not
even where he was placed for foster care
[20:05] showed up. So that's a lot of things
that our volunteers do. We have great
[20:10] stories. We have sad stories. It's hard.
I'm not going to lie. But yet the
[20:14] support that you get from my staff is
absolutely amazing. We all started out
[20:19] as volunteers. So we know what it takes
to be a volunteer and we know what it
[20:23] means. And then of course the final is
financial support. But before I get to
[20:29] that, the volunteers is 30 hours of
initial training at your own pace and
[20:33] then um pass the background check have
to be 21 years of age or older. And then
[20:38] the financial support with reductions,
like I said, with the VOCA funding, um
[20:43] the community support is now more
critical than ever on any of that.
[20:46] Having more volunteers, taking more off
the staff. Um donations help us with
[20:51] recruiting and training volunteers. We
provide supervision and support and we
[20:56] ensure every child assigned receives a
quality advis an an advocate. So what
[21:02] that means is we oversee we have a lot
of experiences staff. So, we oversee our
[21:06] volunteers and guide them. Um, even
small contributions from local partners
[21:11] can help ensure no child waits on a list
for an advocate.
[21:16] Um, why this matters to our little town
here. Every child we serve comes from
[21:21] our community. They may not be placed
back in this community at the time, but
[21:25] that is our community. They attend our
schools. They grow up in your
[21:29] neighborhood. Their future will shape
the future of our town. So instead of
[21:34] trying to change the entire town at
once, let's start with changing a
[21:37] child's life one child at a time.
When we invest in protecting and
[21:42] supporting vulnerable children, we are
in investing in a stronger, safer
[21:47] community for everyone.
We are incredibly proud of the impact
[21:52] this program has made in our county. Um
I think we moved here in 2018 to
[21:57] actually open an office here. We started
out in one small little office. We
[22:02] invite the council and members of our
communities to partner with us by either
[22:06] sharing our mission, sharing it on
Facebook, sharing any brochures,
[22:10] encouraging people to volunteer. If it's
not you that's going to step up, you
[22:14] know, somebody like you're already
thinking of somebody, reach out to them
[22:17] and encourage them to be a volunteer,
considering board services, um, and then
[22:21] supporting the program financially.
Together, we can ensure every child has
[22:25] a voice and a chance for a better
future. I thank you for your time and
[22:29] would be happy to answer any questions
or statements.
[22:39] » I think you did a very good job on uh on
advocating for CASA and the and the
[22:42] importance of the community. So no
question.
[22:45] » Yeah, it's I am very passionate about it
and that's what I tell everybody. You
[22:49] can you can't teach passion. So we
always want passionate people that want
[22:54] to step up for children. I can teach the
rest.
[23:00] » All right.
>> And I will I will echo some of the
[23:02] sentiment that and I'm sure Mike can
probably attest to some work with with
[23:05] some CASA volunteers too just in my line
of work and down at the prosecutor's
[23:09] office. But um from an action item, the
the VOCA funding is a serious threat.
[23:14] Um, we have a victim advocate at the
Ripley County Office, Alan Baker for the
[23:19] prosecutor's office, and then, um,
Bradley Ramy at the Franklin County
[23:23] Prosecutor's Office who is funded
through the VOCA um, funding at the
[23:27] federal level. And, um, I know both of
their budgets were cut about 15%. And
[23:32] so, um, I understand I assume that they
both are continuing in those roles
[23:36] despite those cuts um, annually. So,
from an action item standpoint, I would
[23:41] if you run across one of your
legislators, ask them because it's not
[23:45] just in the volunteer realm with CASAs.
It's um at the prosecutor level, I
[23:51] assume that there's cost there's VOCA
funding that comes through with police
[23:54] enforcement um and things of that
nature. So, that grant program is is
[23:59] under threat um just like most
government funded programs. Um but
[24:03] certainly something that is is
meaningful and worthwhile um especially
[24:07] in the you know in in legal realm and
DCS cases. So I would echo that and I
[24:12] appre I appreciate what you all do at
CASA without a doubt.
[24:16] » Thank you. I appreciate it.
[24:22] » Thank you Melissa.
[24:26] » Now we will move up to item one on our
agenda. Um, item one on our uh, new
[24:32] business agenda tonight was a first
reading of ordinance number one-2026
[24:38] and uh, it was a planning commission
recommendation on uh, B4 zoning. I don't
[24:43] know, John, would you like to um, bring
council up to date?
[24:50] » Um, yeah, this came up a few months ago.
We were variance request where we found
[24:56] out to be fall zoning. The only thing
that was allowed was small cell
[25:00] facilities. So, we've just been trying
to update our zoning code to allow
[25:05] what's actually out in that zoning
district. You look at the map, the only
[25:09] place in the city that zone this is
around 46 in. There's about 10
[25:14] properties there. The things that I was
recommending we put in there are pretty
[25:19] much what's out there now. You know,
just trying to make approvable what's
[25:25] there and keep what's there. So every
times something changes, they don't have
[25:29] to come in for variance because
it's just, you know, there's no reason
[25:35] to make them do that. It's not good for
the zoning to not allow anything. We're
[25:38] just trying to make what's there
approvable.
[25:42] » I think we recently had to
grant a variance
[25:47] housing out there. That's how this came
up.
[25:50] » Someone variance and we looked at the
code, asked me what was allowed there
[25:53] and there's basically nothing.
and
[25:59] » was looking to buy a property there and
they were asking the same thing and
[26:03] we'll just try to update it so when
these properties change hands they don't
[26:06] have to get a variance every time.
So the added the added uses as permitted
[26:12] uses within the B4 would be a dwelling
townhouse
[26:16] uh a live work dwelling,
child care facilities and these were
[26:20] previously not allowed um but are now
would now be permitted uses dental
[26:25] medical or clinic and dental medical
office or clinic and off all other kind
[26:31] of offices.
a retail sales, service, repair and
[26:36] special handling uh location. Retail
sales service and repair all others.
[26:42] Um
and I believe that was the only added
[26:47] » in addition to the per previous
permitted uses of a small cell facility
[26:51] and then a specific or special use
permit for rooming or boarding house
[26:57] um would be re would be added as
permitted uses. So again, nothing out of
[27:02] the ordinary from what it's already
there though. It's not like there's
[27:05] something added, you know, I mean, we
have something in the vicinity of those
[27:09] categories already.
>> Yeah. Like the townhouse was just
[27:12] approved through that variance.
I mean, the walk live, walk, dwell, and
[27:16] there's a couple houses there and people
have been walking out of them. There
[27:20] used to be a dental office. No, an eye
doctor's office there. You know, that's
[27:23] where the, you know, that special
handling retail sale. That's for like
[27:28] the salon, the beauty salon there.
under that and then they also sell uh
[27:34] that other shop behind it that's owned
by the same people. That's, you know,
[27:37] it's it's basically what's already out
there.
[27:41] » And Andrea, thank you for bringing
printing those out and sending those.
[27:45] So, this is again to John's point, this
is in the area of 46 and Tuli Road. Um
[27:50] those exhibits shaded red or those
properties shaded red are the um before
[27:56] the properties at issue. And so, um,
from a council option standpoint, so
[28:04] area planning had a meeting last month
and passed up this res this
[28:08] recommendation,
uh, or last week, sorry, and and passed
[28:12] up a recommendation to council. Council
now has the option to approve the recom
[28:18] ordinance as drafted and recommended,
reject it outright, or reject and
[28:23] provide changes for APC to reconsider.
Those are your options tonight um from
[28:27] area planning.
>> But just to be clear, we're we're
[28:31] looking at the just the ones that are uh
zone B4, not the B2s. Correct.
[28:36] » Correct. Correct.
>> Yep.
[28:42] » And obviously the planning commission's
recommendation was to move forward. Yes,
[28:48] they
>> with the recommend John just mentioned
[28:52] » and if there is a use that is on these
parcels right now for clarification if
[28:56] there's a use on these parcels right now
that's nonconforming with this ordinance
[29:01] amendment or adoption or that was not in
conformance with the 2022 adoption that
[29:06] would be permitted to continue but if
there was a change of hand if or of
[29:11] ownership or if there was a se like
termination of that use for a period of
[29:15] a year they would not be permitted to
re-upstart that non-conforming use. So,
[29:19] it doesn't affect current property
owners, it's a forwardlooking ordinance.
[29:23] » So, the the one property that just sold,
which is on the corner uh to Calv 46,
[29:29] which is um which is where that dentist
office was or
[29:33] » an eye doctor. Yeah.
>> Is is what's going to go in there? Is
[29:37] that okay for what what that zoned?
>> I think so.
[29:41] » It's an it's an office
>> from my understanding. Yes. Yes, they
[29:46] » cuz they asked me about this.
That was the one that was selling that
[29:50] asked me about it. I, you know, I sent
the stuff that we were going to change
[29:53] it to, so they're aware and they haven't
came and questioned it. So, you know,
[29:59] they never told me specifically what was
there, but they know what we were doing.
[30:04] » Well, I guess my question is, if we're
making these changes, does it make sense
[30:06] to I mean, I don't want to throw a a
wrench to this whole thing. Does it make
[30:11] sense to look at a couple of these along
46 that are B2
[30:15] to to also include those ju and maybe
we're just talking about those two
[30:20] pieces of property to B4 to give it kind
of continuity around everything else
[30:25] there
John without what's it don't share
[30:29] information if you're not at liberty to
to share but is it do you know what the
[30:33] use of that building is going to be
>> actually tell me specifically they
[30:37] » Derek do you by chance know
>> I knew it was it was within the line of
[30:41] something with a medical side. That's
what I was told like
[30:45] » which is kind of what's there
>> from my and again I'm not the legal
[30:48] scholar that's your area blame but no
for from what I understand it would be a
[30:52] very similar setup to what was in there
with the eye doctor
[30:55] » okay yeah they they just told me they
would talk about expanding the parking
[31:00] and do
>> it was going to be a whole variance
[31:05] thing then because they were changing
something unless we you know
[31:10] » but they didn't you provided them a copy
of the updates and they didn't have
[31:14] balls or they didn't squall like mash
>> cats.
[31:19] » Um so they should be aware and they came
to the one meeting at plan commission
[31:25] when we talked about this
>> la last week
[31:28] » no
>> oh okay
[31:30] » trial where we were discussing how we
wanted to move forward with this.
[31:35] So
[31:39] » this is obviously the first reading. Um
I my recommendation would be I would
[31:47] like to see if we could entertain a
motion to suspend the rules and just do
[31:51] this under one under one reading
rather than have a second reading again
[31:58] next month. This had been delayed.
>> I'll make a motion to suspend the rules.
[32:04] » Okay. Okay, I need a second.
>> I'll second.
[32:08] » I have a motion and a second to suspend
the rules. All those in favor say I.
[32:12] » I.
>> I.
[32:13] » Opposed.
>> That motion carried. So, since we had
[32:17] the motion to suspend rules. Now, I will
ask for a motion to approve ordinance
[32:22] number one, 2026 as presented by uh
planning and zoning.
[32:28] » I'll make that motion.
>> I'll second the motion.
[32:31] » Have a motion and a second. All those in
favor say I.
[32:34] » I.
>> Real quick. Sorry. I apologize. My bad.
[32:38] Hey, I just want to get my layout
straight. So, I know where the the old
[32:42] uh office was. Right across from there
is the lot they're putting the uh
[32:47] apartment complex on. Correct. Where it
was. Woods, right by Doug Anders.
[32:51] » Doug.
>> Then there's Doug's. And then what are
[32:53] those other three B4s that go?
So, right after Southeast. So, I'm just
[33:00] seeing with the lots. I'm just trying to
figure out what's there right now cuz we
[33:04] got I think the one right beside 46 is
Doug Amber is that before the second one
[33:09] from from the intersection.
>> So the woods they're not they're not
[33:12] doing anything there are they doing the
as you get next to Doug Amber
[33:19] » they're putting in apartments there but
I don't know if that encompasses the
[33:23] woods as well. I'm not
>> I think you're right now. I think that
[33:26] woods is that first B4. The second one
is the new apartment. Then the third one
[33:30] would be Doug Hamburgers. And then but I
lose where B4 comes in after Doug's.
[33:35] What other business?
>> I think there's residential there.
[33:38] » That's what I thought. Ralph Hostel or
whatever used there, right? That's what
[33:41] I thought.
>> Yeah.
[33:43] » Okay.
>> No, I was just getting my bearings. I'm
[33:47] absolutely for the motion. So, sorry.
>> I I think Doug Hamburger owns that last
[33:52] that last
>> empty lot.
[33:55] » Okay. That's what I'm trying to figure
out. And I I think it he had
[33:57] contemplated expanding his office at one
point in time, but I don't know where
[34:01] that's at currently.
[34:09] » Okay. Do we have any other questions?
Okay. We did have a motion and a second.
[34:15] All those in favor of approving
ordinance uh 101-2026
[34:20] say I. I. Opposed.
>> That motion carries.
[34:27] That completes our new business for
tonight. The next item up is clerk
[34:32] treasures report.
[34:45] report. Brad is actually attending a
clerk treasure training this week. So,
[34:51] uh, Michelle is covering for him.
[34:58] » I don't have any questions. I will ask
for a motion to approve claims.
[35:03] » So moved.
>> Have a second.
[35:06] » A second.
>> All those in favor say I.
[35:10] » I. I.
>> Opposed. Motion carries.
[35:15] Next item up is mayor's report. But
before I get into that, I'm going to ask
[35:20] um Amy Lunsford
to step to the microphone and um just
[35:27] give us a brief update on the um the
MSRP grant that um Main Street uh
[35:34] applied for earlier in the year and how
we're moving forward with that.
[35:39] » Okay. So, you guys all probably remember
about this time last year, um, we came
[35:43] and we did the initial movements to, uh,
apply for a Main Street revitalization
[35:48] grant through OKR. Um, it falls under
their community development grant funds.
[35:53] Um, we did not apply that round one. We
just didn't feel our application was
[35:58] solid enough to make that happen. We did
apply for round two. Um, unfortunately,
[36:04] we did not receive that grant. Um it was
announced last week I believe. Um that
[36:11] grant opened again for round one of
2026.
[36:15] Uh we are going to take another stab at
it. Um and we are going to start that
[36:21] process again. Um with the proposal for
that due I believe on the 3rd of April.
[36:28] Um so we do have the grant administrator
going after that again. Um, I know that
[36:33] we're going to have some meetings with
OKRA to find out where we can tweak that
[36:37] application to make it a little
stronger. They did not approve any Main
[36:42] Street Revitalization Program grants in
that round. Um, the CDBG holds several
[36:48] different construction type of grants
and we're all kind of against each
[36:52] other. So, a lot of them were drinking
water grants that were approved and not
[36:57] that main street revitalization.
Um, so we are going to try again and we
[37:02] are going to have another public
hearing. That public hearing is going to
[37:05] be on the 30th. So it's a Monday evening
um at I believe we said 5:30 was the
[37:12] time for that and it will be in this
room. Um but that would give us another
[37:17] chance to show what the options are,
what we're doing, get some public
[37:22] feedback and start for round one of
2026.
[37:27] um and hope that things go a little bit
better for us in that round. Does anyone
[37:31] have any questions about that?
[37:35] Um 5:30 5:30, right? Yeah.
[37:41] » All right. Great. So hopefully we see
everyone here um on the 30th and give
[37:47] your feedback on the plans and and how
everything's going to move forward.
[37:52] » Thanks, Amy.
So, now I will move into my mayor's
[37:56] report.
I'm going to start off with a lovely
[38:00] topic.
Um, we've been made aware of an increase
[38:06] of dogs defecating on public and private
property. I think we've I think we've
[38:12] seen it on uh on Facebook and um we've
heard different department heads comment
[38:18] about it. Um, I actually had a little
stop with one of our police officers. We
[38:26] had a a woman came into the office a
couple of weeks ago to point out a
[38:32] sidewalk that was so completely covered.
You couldn't walk down the sidewalk to
[38:38] which point our officers did address the
issue um with a citizen and we got that
[38:45] taken care of. Um, but I just like to
remind everyone that, you know, to clean
[38:51] after your clean up clean up after your
dog, um, we actually do have an
[38:56] ordinance and the penalty for a
violation,
[39:00] um, is up to $1,000,
um, if you choose not to clean up the
[39:06] mess. And I don't understand it, but it
seems like wherever wherever we see
[39:09] those signs that say, you know,
I think some of them say no poop zone,
[39:17] apparently that people interpret that as
an interpret interpret that as an
[39:21] invitation um because those seem to be
the worst spots.
[39:26] So, I just want to remind people and I
will we'll share this also to remind
[39:31] people who own pets, you are required to
license your pet and I think there are
[39:36] more than five pets in the city of
Batesville.
[39:39] » Um, five.
>> So, um,
[39:43] » I will just share that too to remind
people to to come in and register their
[39:47] pets.
>> It does help us keep track and if one of
[39:51] a pet's picked up, it's easier for us to
locate. Now, I know a lot of people say,
[39:55] "Well, I chip my pets." But not
everybody does. Um, so it just helps us
[40:00] and um we depend on a lot of volunteers
for that, so it helps them. So, we're
[40:05] grateful for that. Um,
this is a a little old news, but uh Duke
[40:12] is, you know, weather permitting, going
to be flying the power lines, and
[40:16] they're going to be doing some uh tree
trimming along easements and so forth in
[40:20] the coming in the coming months. Um,
this is a little dated too, but I, you
[40:27] know, again, I want to congratulate
Schmidz. Apparently, their sold total
[40:31] for this year was over 239,000
thingalings.
[40:36] More recently, congratulations to the
Baseville High School boys varsity
[40:40] basketball team and their recent
sectional win. They will be playing uh
[40:44] Silver Creek, um, who I think is ranked
number one in class 3A. Um, and I
[40:51] believe that game's at 400 p.m. this
coming Saturday
[40:56] and um, it is in Charles Town. So,
congratulations to the the basketball
[41:01] team on that victory. And also
congratulations to the Bassville Choirs
[41:07] on winning best vocals and placing as a
first runner up at the Avon show choir
[41:12] competition this past weekend. Uh, the
show choir has been doing an awesome
[41:17] job. Um, and there's another feather in
their cap.
[41:22] Uh, you can test your March Mad Madness
knowledge at this month's Main Street
[41:26] Trivia Night on Thursday, March 12th
from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. at Little
[41:31] Charlie's. Uh, registration starts at
6:30. Um, again, the host location is
[41:37] Little Charlie's, and I believe the
first place winner receives a $25 gift
[41:41] certificate from Little Charlie's.
I know we had last month's uh mayor's
[41:49] book club last week and we are having
this month's mayor's book club this
[41:53] week. On Wednesday, March 11th, uh we
will be meeting at the Batesville
[41:57] Memorial Public Library to discuss the
book Sidewalks in the Kingdom.
[42:04] Uh
it's a uh I will say a ministerial
[42:09] approach to
um urbanism and community.
[42:19] Finally, let's see. We continue.
Congratulations to the Batesville
[42:25] Intermediate School, the middle school,
and the high school for qualifying for
[42:29] the 2026 Indiana uh state archery
tournament.
[42:33] Um they will be competing against nearly
5,000 archers from over 300 schools. Um
[42:38] the Bulldogs secured have secured top
scores in the state across all three
[42:42] divisions. We wish them all the best as
they compete this year. Um
[42:48] we have the Friends of the Library book
sale which I think that's twice a year.
[42:53] That is happening again on March 14th
and 15th at the library annex from 9:00
[42:58] a.m. to 5:00 p.m. They take cash check
or Venmo and again it's in the annex.
[43:04] That's the building on the corner of Elm
and um Bow Ringer.
[43:09] Finally, the chambers uh Easter egg hunt
is Tuesday, March 31st at 6 p.m. There
[43:16] will be three age groups and they will
be searching for 5,000 eggs. Uh bring a
[43:21] basket. uh co-sponsors
um or the chamber member businesses and
[43:27] the mayor's youth council. I know our
youth council will be helping out at the
[43:31] event. Um
finally, uh tomorrow night is the uh
[43:36] chamber uh members appreciation dinner
and awards dinner. Um I believe it
[43:43] begins at 5:30 and it's at the
>> Ronweber Marketplace.
[43:52] That is all I have. Are there any
comments from any citizens tonight?
[44:01] If not,
that will complete our agenda. Our next
[44:06] regularly scheduled meeting is Monday,
April 13th at 6:30 p.m.
[44:12] » John, I got I got a question when you
get done. just um so one of the things I
[44:18] was looking through the notes um and
specifically with Angela um can you guys
[44:22] help me just understand one of the
things you Angela brought up was uh
[44:26] continue to exploration of opportunities
to expand distribution of local and city
[44:30] news right now what exactly do we do to
distribute is it just through I mean I I
[44:38] love your newsletter um so I I see that
but what when we've got a an
[44:44] announcement that we want to get out.
What's what's the process there?
[44:48] » So, depending on the type of
announcement, either Andrea or I will
[44:51] create a press release. So, if it's a
press release type of an event, then
[44:55] those will go out and we have a list of
media sources that those will go out to,
[44:59] including Tom and other local sources.
If we're just trying to get information
[45:03] out through the newsletter, then
everything that goes through the
[45:06] newsletter goes out once a month.
Usually, the first week of the month, we
[45:10] have about 1,600 people or so on that
email list. Um, we do make hard copies
[45:15] of that and take it to the library and
to a couple other places in town, but
[45:19] it's pretty cost. I mean, it it is
expensive and high maintenance to do
[45:23] that. So, we don't do thousands of
those, just a couple hundred. Um, and
[45:28] then everything that goes through the
newsletter or through a press release
[45:31] also gets put out on social media.
>> And so, through the media, it's WRBI. Is
[45:36] there other station, other radio
station? And and I guess where I'm
[45:39] getting is, you know, back in the day we
approved what WRBI and the Herald
[45:44] Tribute as our news people. Um but
things have changed over time and and
[45:48] I'm I reached out to uh Steven Harmire.
Um just to kind of see, you know, where
[45:54] where what that reach could be. Um
Stephen has about 13,000 people in
[45:59] Batesville. Now that could be a husband
and wife, those kinds of things. But I I
[46:03] guess I'm questioning is that would that
not be and we've got you know a social
[46:07] media that a rising social media star I
think on council that uh might be able
[46:12] to to maybe add some input but but the
but the A12 I think is is something that
[46:18] is just another way to get the news out.
So I'm curious if we if we include them
[46:23] with that or
>> depends on what it is. if it is um if
[46:26] it's something that we know we have a
pretty we have a really broad social
[46:29] media contact to and that's really where
most of his content is. So if it's
[46:34] something I need to get out outside of
Facebook then I definitely make sure
[46:38] that these guys get it. If it's
something that I know needs to be rep
[46:41] needs to go out through social media we
have a pretty big social media presence.
[46:47] So depending on what it is I may or may
not send something that just needs to be
[46:50] pushed out through social media there.
What would be the harm for him pushing
[46:54] it out?
>> Um I don't know that there's necessarily
[46:57] harm for it.
>> So I'm I'm just I mean if if it's we
[47:01] struggle with this and we've struggled
with this. How do we get people educated
[47:04] on the city going on?
>> Yeah. I for let's first off social media
[47:11] informs it doesn't educate necessarily.
>> Okay. I agree with that. I mean
[47:15] sometimes there's some there's some bias
to that. I understand that. Um but
[47:19] » let me just be candid. I I know Stephen
is upset because he did not get a copy
[47:23] of the news of the press release that
was about Sarah's resignation and I um
[47:28] received a late night message from him
that was a little abrupt. So I'm sure
[47:32] that's why he reached out to you but and
that's fine. It it was really just an
[47:36] oversight. That's really the only thing
I think that he hasn't received.
[47:40] » So he didn't reach out to me. I reached
out to him just like I said just because
[47:44] again
>> timing thing. Um well just again if
[47:47] we've got 13,000 more people that we can
get information to
[47:52] I think it's a fair point. Yeah.
>> Well and to that and like you said elf
[47:57] in the room. So what whole goal is that
I'm doing is the same concept right? We
[48:02] don't we have we're fragmented uh in
Batesville. We got a million different
[48:06] groups that all have the same vision but
nobody that has a microphone able to
[48:10] direct people on how to go. And to your
point, whether it's 812, which is an
[48:13] incredible way to do it, but the media
has changed. The way we consume the
[48:17] media has changed, finding that
adaptation to your point on we have all
[48:22] this information and we put it out and I
see it all the time. I study it. Like we
[48:26] put it out, we'll put a little slide out
telling what it is, but it's nothing
[48:29] really to introduce what the slide's
about. And in a world of white noise,
[48:33] you have people scroll through. So you
need to have someplace that those slides
[48:36] are good, but you got to have somebody
with a microphone that actually directs
[48:40] people on what to go, how to how to
contact people. All those things fall in
[48:44] line with 812. And
>> well, and Brad, I think, and for
[48:47] everyone, I think you also need to have
someone on the back end who is managing
[48:51] how that communication is being
addressed once it hits the public. If I
[48:56] put out something on our social media
account, I can manage if there is
[49:01] aggressive or inflammatory or
inappropriate backlash or there's a
[49:06] comment that maybe is detrimental to one
of you that needs to be removed and
[49:11] frankly I can't do that when it goes out
on someone else's website. So I think
[49:15] depending on what it is, we do have to
be realistic about whether we want to be
[49:19] able to have be a part of the
conversation or not. if it's social med
[49:24] if it's social media based
>> well and unfortunately social media you
[49:27] can say a lot of things good and bad and
so and I guess as as public officials we
[49:33] got to have a little bit thicker skin
and or not look at the stuff because
[49:36] some of the stuff you just you cringe
about um but I wouldn't be opposed to
[49:41] you know again using social media as a
way to educate it I mean send it to
[49:46] Derek and if Dererick could put it out
there for him for for his what he's
[49:49] doing the more I mean the more people
get that information, people are going
[49:55] to talk about it one way or the other.
So, we might as well at least try to get
[49:57] something out there that's that's and I
guess I I think the point I I don't want
[50:02] to put words in Angela's mouth, but I I
think the it the communication it has to
[50:07] be consistent.
>> I agree.
[50:09] » Um, and sometimes it's not going to be
that way.
[50:13] » Everything that happens, everything that
goes on our social media, we send him
[50:16] press releases that are specific that
need to go out to the to the broader
[50:20] media. So, I'm not going to send Stephen
or you every single thing I post on
[50:26] social media.
>> I'm not So, what if we just say the
[50:29] press releases that we're sending out to
the other me news media that we send it?
[50:34] I again I Derek has has gotten a
following. if Derrick wants to put that
[50:37] out there on his his site just to and
and we can monitor it obviously um in
[50:44] that if we see it's getting abused and
there's becoming more of an opinion of
[50:49] how that stuff is done then then we make
changes. That's just my I mean again my
[50:55] my only thing with it is there's just a
lot of people out there. Unfortunately,
[50:59] my wife gives me a lot of information
because she's heard from the 812 or WRBI
[51:04] going in, as she calls it, tried and
true. So, uh, she gets a lot of, you
[51:09] know, a lot of the messages from both
those places. And I just thought it'd be
[51:13] another avenue and and Derek's.
[51:19] And with that being said, thank you,
Sarah, for everything you've done. Yeah.
[51:24] » Yeah. I
I was getting ready to go there since uh
[51:29] » Yeah, I would like to thank Sarah, too.
I know uh Sarah stepped into her role.
[51:35] Andrea, did you have something?
>> I I Well, I saw you had up and then I
[51:40] then you went like this. Well, you know,
I just wanted to uh address the uh
[51:46] certain um press releases like if
WRBI, the Daily News, there are a couple
[51:54] of organizations or news outlets who
have reached out and sent formal letters
[51:58] requiring a a a
following the Indiana code. So, if Mr.
[52:05] Harmire wants the information, he can
certainly reach out to us and and
[52:11] request the information that he be
included within the the notice that is
[52:18] sent out to other news outlets. More
than welcome to do that. I would say
[52:23] though he can capture
just like every other news organization
[52:30] can capture if they follow if they're
doing social media and can follow that
[52:34] on the page and if he had any additional
questions or a followup to that article
[52:41] or whatever we have put out on our
social media then he can more than happy
[52:46] to reach out to Angela or myself or
somebody else within the the city if it
[52:52] would be the parks,
uh, social media. He's more than welcome
[52:56] to do that and we'll be happy to answer
any questions he has.
[52:59] » Okay, fair enough. I'll let him know to
to reach out to to request the
[53:03] information. That again, my only thought
was there's 13,000 people that were
[53:06] could be missing. So, if if it needs if
he needs to do some things on his end,
[53:12] then that's certainly up to him.
>> Yeah. And what Angela or Andre is
[53:16] referring to is is when we have a public
notice of a hearing, um, news entities
[53:22] can or media entities can send requests
that when we have those kind of
[53:26] notifications that it gets sent directly
to them. And I will say Andrea does a
[53:30] fantastic job and Angela as well when we
do have those types of things, I think
[53:33] that they send them voluntarily over to,
you know, WRBI or or the Basil leader,
[53:38] whomever, right? I I think that they are
very transparent in that. I don't think
[53:41] we have just meetings or public hearings
that we don't broadcast to the media
[53:46] generally speaking. So, but as far as
the other the other work, you know, with
[53:50] the newsletters and and public service
announcements that Angeline puts
[53:55] together, council or whomever, I think
to your point, I think that that's more
[53:59] of a um discretionary thing for for
Angela. That's not necessarily anything
[54:03] required by statute. So,
[54:09] » good. Good.
I think Sarah uh I want to say off the
[54:16] top of my head because I wasn't here
when that happened but um started with
[54:21] the city over 12 years ago
and I think at the time your role was
[54:27] initially you came in as sort of
community development and and we'll say
[54:33] we didn't have it we Main Street was
kind of a just happening thing and Um
[54:40] this was under uh Mayor Flutterman and
then under Mayor Flutterman Sarah's role
[54:46] did evolve into economic development
which she continued to be part of under
[54:53] Mayor Bettis and has continued to be a
big part of. She was a a very integral
[55:00] part of all of the um the ready uh
program when that program was announced
[55:08] back in what 23.
What I think was it um may well Sarah
[55:17] and Mayor Bettis um
got involved with our our regional our
[55:23] regional group and actually I think it
was Mayor Battis at the time that kind
[55:27] of made the decision
where we were going to go with our
[55:34] as as far as what we were going to be a
part of. Um, but I know S Sarah was
[55:39] involved in the in the projects that
were selected and the projects that were
[55:44] presented
um
[55:47] for the city of Batesville and those
have all been I think I think we can all
[55:52] agree Batesville was very lucky with the
projects that we got awarded. Um, we we
[55:59] secured $2 million for Margaret Mary. We
secured a million dollars for uh KDF.
[56:05] We've secured $2 million for the library
innovation center. Um, we've secured
[56:14] almost $2 million to to finally complete
our our road at the industrial park
[56:24] to make the rest of that property
sailable. Um, so those were um well,
[56:32] what else am I the skate park um and
prior to that she was involved with
[56:40] marketing the um
the infamous Shell building. Um and um
[56:49] we've uh we're we're moving on, you
know, hopefully to the next steps with
[56:54] that property. So, she's really been a
part of a lot of things, a lot of good
[57:00] things that happened in the community.
And I think um
[57:06] there's there's probably hiccups to some
of the things that we got involved with
[57:11] my first year, as we well know. I think
everybody that got involved with some of
[57:16] those projects thought, "Wow, this is
going to be great." And then, "Wow, this
[57:19] is not so great." Um but we worked
through all that and um just want to
[57:26] thank thank you for all the things
you've done over those 12 years. Um
[57:32] I know my uh my sister-in-law was
walking in the neighborhood last night
[57:36] and met Peter and May and they have a
their second one's on the way here soon,
[57:43] right? So, I I think Sarah's going to
enjoy some time with family and and
[57:47] grandkids, and I uh I envy her that I I
was hoping to see some of mine uh
[57:56] yesterday, but I thought better of it. I
better if I go up there and get one of
[58:01] those kids sick before they fly back to
New York, I'm going to be in big
[58:04] trouble. Um anyway, thank you, Sarah. We
appreciate it.
[58:18] Did did I ask for a motion to adjourn?
>> Anybody else?
[58:23] » I will. Oh.
[58:33] out of order then. Jerry, thanks for
correcting me.
[58:38] » I would have been at the bar by myself
all night, Jerry. You know, nobody
[58:43] there.
>> Thank you, Jerry.
[58:46] I I will now entertain a motion to
adjourn.
[58:50] » I make a I'll make a motion to adjourn
the meeting.
[58:53] » We have a motion to adjurnn. Do we have
a second?
[58:56] » I'll second.
>> Motion and a second. All those in favor
[58:59] say I.
>> I. opposed.
[59:04] The meeting is adjourned.
