listed the appointments the Council could make. Kendall made a

term expired 12-31-91 from the Plan Commission and that position

State law required that a Council member be appointed to the Plan

Story
EMPOWERMENT OF CITY OF CARMEL REDEVELOPMENT COMMISSION:
stated he was not certain Ice, Miller, Donadio & Ryan had been
contacted concerning the issue before the Council. Story stated
the original intent of the Redevelopment Commission was to expedite
moving ahead with the redevelopment bond if the decision was made
to purchase the Civic Square Centre building. Story asked the
Council to consider dissolving the Commission or consider
reappointing the same five or a new group as a special task force
to proceed with determining the fiscal viability of the purchase.
Kendall stated he personally would like to see the dissolution of
the Redevelopment Commission and establishment of an Economic
Development Commission that could focus on bringing business to the
community and, also, be charged with the responsibilities given to
the Redevelopment Commission concerning the Civic Square Centre
building. Kendall made a motion to dissolve the Redevelopment
Commission. The motion was seconded by Quinn. Fleming asked for
the report Steve Andrews, the former City Attorney, was to present
to the Council. Johnson stated a report from Ice, Miller, Donadio
& Ryan indicated, in their opinion, the Redevelopment Commission
was a legal entity. Quinn asked for a copy of the report. Kendall
amended his motion to establish an ordinance repealing Ordinance
720 that created the Redevelopment Commission. The motion was
seconded by Quinn. Six Council members voted aye. Fleming voted
nay. Motion carried.
2
Quinn made a motion to resolve that the disposition of the Civic
Square Center building be solved one way or the other by the due
date of the bond anticipation note, and that the building be turned
over to the bank, or permanent financing be arranged for the
building. The motion was seconded by Kendall. Due to a division
of the house the clerk called the roll as follows: Aye - Quinn,
Kendall, Painchaud, Story. Nay - Fleming, Potasnik, Snyder. Motion
carried.
ORDINANCE D-743/ AN ORDINANCE OF THE COUNCIL ENTITLED PLANTING AND
Story made a motion to
REMOVAL OF TREES AND SHRUB REGULATIONS:
table this item at the request of the mayor. The motion was
seconded by Quinn. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE Z-268/ MOBILE OR CELLULAR TELEPHONE TOWERS IN
Quinn made a motion for immediate
RESIDENTIALLY ZONED DISTRICTS:
approval of Ordinance Z-268. The motion was seconded by Kendall.
Dave Coots, attorney representing GTE, stated that his client
understood the need to adopt the ordinance for purposes of
prohibiting the events as they occurred on Carey Road. Coots
stated GTE would like to obtain a commitment from the Council for a
bit more flexibility than what the current ordinance prescribed.
Coots stated GTE would like to convene the Council and members of
the Plan Commission to present relevant evidence as to why certain
towers of certain heights had to be placed throughout the township
that is currently zoned residential. Coots asked for GTE and other
cellular service organizations to be heard, helping these
organizations fulfill their commitments as state regulated
utilities, providing the service it is required to provide, just
like the telephone company, power company, water companies, etc.
Story asked if the State Utilities Commission is currently viewed
as being the regulatory agency in matters of this kind. Coots
stated the Indiana Regulatory Commission exercises authority.
Coots stated whether or not it is exclusive authority is a matter
of debate. Coots stated whether Home Rule permitted the Council to
do something where the Indiana Regulatory Commission has not acted
was not a settled question. Coots stated GTE was regulated by the
Indiana Regulatory Commission. Story asked if there were
regulations regarding tower height and placement from the Indiana
Regulatory Commission. Coots stated there was not. Coots stated
because the State has not acted in the area of height and
placement, it may be because they choose to allow the utilities to
determine placement and height. Coots stated the counter of that
legal argument would be without regulation, the void could possibly
be filled by communities who may choose to regulate height and
placement. Coots told the Council that, ultimately, the issue
would have to be resolved at the State level or through the
judicial process. Coots stated if cellular corporations choose to
ignore the ordinance, it would not be without risk if the Home Rule
3
statute would permit the City to regulate in this area.
Quinn stated this ordinance would afford the taxpayer the most
minimal of protection, forcing the utility to sue before a tower
could be erected. Kendall made a motion to suspend the rules to
allow Mr. Coots to continue to speak and anyone representing the
homeowners group present to speak. The motion was seconded by
Quinn. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
Coots stated he was not looking to defeat the ordinance. Coots
stated there was protection and risk in adopting the ordinance.
Coots stated the ordinance could be ignored followed by litigation
with the City later, or it could be adopted and be the roadblock
for height, giving the residents of the community some protection.
Coots asked the Council to work with GTE, in order for GTE to show
the Council the possibilities for tower design that would be
compatible with the community.
The Council members engaged in further discussion with Mr. Coots
concerning the towers. Quinn, Kendall, Snyder, and Potasnik voiced
their support for the ordinance in order to protect the community's
residents.
Kendall made a motion to adopt ordinance Z-268. The motion was
seconded by Potasnik. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
Painchaud called for the question. All members voted aye. Motion
carried.
Story stated
ORDINANCE D-742/ PUBLIC HEARING NOTICE REGULATIONS:
Ordinance D-742 brought into statute, by City ordinance, that which
has usually been the case. Story stated the ordinance would offer
additional protection to the public by requiring public hearings
for zoning and map changes. Story made a motion to adopt Ordinance
D-742. The motion was seconded by Quinn. Potasnik made a motion
to amend section C of the ordinance to place a period at the end of
the word `address' on the second line, and include in the next
sentence `when no such common address exists'. Potasnik stated the
amendment would help the general public identify the proposed
zoning change location without having to struggle through a lengthy
legal description. The motion was seconded by Kendall. All
members voted aye. Motion carried.
Terry Jones, from the Department of Community Development stated
item (a) was the only addition to the ordinance, removing it from
Section 10 and adding it to Section 3.
Clerk-Treasurer, Jones asked for clarification, through an
amendment to the ordinance, on whose responsibility it is to
publish the notices. Quinn made a motion to postpone action on the
ordinance until the next meeting. The motion was seconded by
4
Story. Potasnik stated that perhaps the burden of advertising
should remain with the City in the clerk-treasurer's office. Jones
stated that a late mailing or human error could cause the
petitioner to lose construction or development time. Jones stated
it would be an enormous responsibility for her already overburdened
department to possibly make the City liable for a delayed
advertisement on behalf of a petitioner. Potasnik stated the
Council was the body that was trying to inform the public and he
felt confusion would be eliminated by the City taking
responsibility for advertising. Painchaud called for a vote on the
motion to postpone. Story voted aye. The remaining members voted
nay. The motion was defeated.
Story stated he believed the City would be opening itself to the
concern of liability if the City takes on the charge of advertising
for a petitioner. Story stated if it would be determined that the
City's inability to advertise in time has assigned the petitioner a
burden, the tort laws may not be particularly friendly. Quinn
stated the burden of proof in all regards was on the petitioner,
and advertising should not be the exception. Quinn stated the
responsibility should not be on the clerk-treasurer to follow up on
a petitioner's rezone request. Further discussion ensued regarding
the ordinance.
Story made a motion to amend section (b) of the ordinance to add
`it shall be the responsibility of the petitioner to provide proof
of publication to the office of the clerk-treasurer'. The motion
was seconded by Snyder. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
Painchaud called for the question. Six members of the Council
voted aye. Quinn voted nay. Motion carried.
ORDINANCE Z-745/ AN ORDINANCE RATIFYING THE CONTRACTS BETWEEN THE
CITY OF CARMEL, INDIANA AND THE TOWN OF WESTFIELD, HAMILTON WESTERN
UTILITIES AND CLAY REGIONAL WASTE DISTRICT FOR PLANT EXPANSION:
Quinn made a motion to introduce Ordinance Z-745. The motion was
seconded by Fleming. Clerk-Treasurer, Jones read the ordinance.
Kendall asked if an emergency existed that would require action on
the ordinance that evening. Mayor Johnson stated he did not know
if action was imperative that evening. Johnson stated the document
should be corrected on the second line to read `waste water
treatment plant'. Johnson stated the contract was a simple
ratification of documents that had been approved on a number of
other occasions annually with the entities shown on the ordinance.
Johnson stated the City was mandated by federal law to provide
certain capacities for sewage to those entities and certain
additional capacities by contract for which the City is paid.
Johnson stated that the possibility may exist, if the contracts
were not ratified, the entities may not pay the City. Johnson
stated the Council should ask the advice of Steve Andrews who drew
the document rather than pay another attorney to advise the Council
5
in the matter. Potasnik stated this was an annual agreement with
the entities involved and that the signing of the contract was a
formality. Potasnik stated he would defer to the Council if they
chose to bring the ordinance forward to the next meeting.
Kendall made a motion to suspend the rules and act on Ordinance
D-745 with an amendment to correct waste water on line 2. The
motion was seconded by Fleming. Painchaud called for suspending
the rules and acting on Ordinance D-745. Six members voted aye.
Quinn voted nay. Motion defeated.
Johnson stated this was a simple annual ratification of E.D.U's
that the City was committed to furnishing. Johnson stated the
contract is the means to allow the City to receive funds from the
entities to pay for our commitment to them. Johnson asked Quinn
what he would need to assure passage of the ordinance. Quinn asked
for copies of the contracts. Story asked the mayor if the City
would lose revenues by not passing the ordinance. The mayor stated
he was not sure, but he did not believe lost revenues would occur.
Fleming asked that ordinances include copies of contracts where
applicable. No further action was taken concerning this agenda
item. This item will appear on the next agenda under `Old
Business'.
ORDINANCE D-746/ AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE SALARY ORDINANCE OF 1992
Story made a motion to
TO CHANGE AND CREATE NEW POSITIONS:
introduce Ordinance D-746. The motion was seconded by Kendall.
Johnson stated he was proposing the following personnel changes:
Board of Public Works - Name and job description change from
Receptionist to . - by
Secretary Communication Center Director
removing the police and fire officers who had been running the
Communications Center on a part time basis, Johnson felt the
department needed a full time manager allowing the fire and police
to return to full staff. Johnson stated the position had been
filled anticipating that the Council was aware of the fact that the
Communications Center was in need of reorganization.
Press
- to establish a communication link between the City,
Secretary
media and public. Johnson stated the press secretary would receive
the same salary as the executive assistant to the mayor. Johnson
asked that the Council eliminate his request for Director of
Insurance and Personnel until he could better establish the needs
of the City in that area. Johnson asked that the Council eliminate
the following positions: Executive Assistant and Administrative
Assistant.
Jones requested an additional position for an Administrative
Assistant to the City Council and Clerk-Treasurer. Jones stated
the assistant would oversee the `City Library' effort which would
house original documents such as ordinances, resolutions,
annexations, City codes, State statutes, etc. Jones stated the
6
position would be responsible for maintaining City contracts,
compiling agendas, processing Council and Board of Public Works
minutes and completing development of the City's project to set up
City Council and Board of Public Works minutes on computer files.
Jones stated the demand for research work by Council members could
be made in a more timely manner along with easier access to records
in the `Library effort'. Jones stated the assistant would work
closely with the press secretary in coordinating public relations
efforts. Jones stated the salary would be supervised by and report
directly to the clerk-treasurer.
There was considerable discussion by the Council concerning the
request for the proposed positions and title changes. Story made a
motion to amend Ordinance D-746 deleting the request for the
Director of Insurance and Personnel. More discussion followed by
the Council. The motion was seconded by Kendall. All members
voted aye. Motion carried. Story stated the mayor was elected to
administer to the City and that the ordinance was essentially a
reorganization, and based on his favorable opinion of the request
made a motion to suspend the rules and act on Ordinance D-746. The
motion was seconded by Fleming. Five members voted aye. Potasnik
and Kendall voted nay. Kendall made a motion to amend the
Ordinance changing the salary of the Administrative Assistant to
the Council and Clerk-Treasurer from $900.00 to $899.94. The
motion was seconded by Quinn. All members voted aye. Motion
carried. Quinn made a motion to adjourn for a ten minute recess.
The motion was seconded by Kendall. All members voted aye. Motion
carried. No further action was taken on this ordinance. This item
will appear under `Old Business' on the next agenda.
ORDINANCE D-747/ PROPOSED ORDINANCE TO RESCIND ORDINANCE D-729 AND
REVERT BACK TO CITY CODE SECTION 2-50 AS IT RELATES TO THE PAYMENT
Quinn made a motion to introduce Ordinance D-747.
OF OVERTIME:
The motion was seconded by Kendall. Quinn stated the proposed
ordinance would rescind existing Ordinance D-729. Quinn stated
vacation, holiday and sick pay would not be counted toward `earned
time' when calculating overtime. Quinn gave an example which
pointed out that anyone taking vacation, sick or holiday time in a
given week, who was then required to work overtime during the same
week, would be paid straight time until they actually physically
worked forty (40) hours. Quinn stated he had never seen time and
one-half paid to anyone in public or private industry who did not
physically work 40 hours nor was he aware of anyone in public or
private industry who was able to use vacation and sick time to
accrue overtime. Kendall and Johnson stated they would like more
time to review the ordinance before making any decisions concerning
its' passage. Kendall made a motion to amend the ordinance based
on specific questions he had concerning the ordinance text and
asked the clerk-treasurer to convert his concerns from the tape to
the new ordinance. The motion was seconded by Quinn. Jones stated
7
Kendall had posed different questions concerning the ordinance and
it would be difficult to determine what areas he intended to amend.
Painchaud suggested the amendments be withheld. The motion for
amendment was withdrawn.
Johnson asked that the record show he asked for the ordinance to be
tabled because he had been unable to be given the time to carefully
review the particulars, investigate with other communities and
discuss the problem with the City department heads.
No action was taken on the ordinance. This item will return for a
second reading on the next agenda under `Old Business'.
Story made a motion to suspend the rules and consider agenda item
#13 as the next order of business. The motion was seconded by
Painchaud. All members voted aye. Motion carried.
PUBLIC HEARING - REZONE R-1 TO R-3 - ROGER KESSLER/ ORDINANCE
Jones stated the ordinance should read Z-271 not
Z-701 (Z-271):
Z-701 as shown on the agenda. Jones stated for the record, proof
of publication was submitted and the publication was correct and in
time. Story made a motion to introduce ordinance Z-271 and to
dispense with the reading. The motion was seconded by Potasnik.
All members voted aye. Motion carried. Roger Kessler stated he
was representing Tim O'Connor regarding property north of 103rd
Street and east of Meridian. Kessler stated the property was
currently zoned R-1 and that the request was for a rezone to R-3.

residents of the area were in agreement with the rezone and floor
plan. Kessler stated the proposal was for a duplex with 225' of
frontage on Pennsylvania Street. Kessler stated Mr. Fillenwarth
had a similar request for the lot one space away from the proposed
lot, approved by the Council in December. Kessler stated the plan
had the unanimous approval of the Plan Commission.
Painchaud opened the hearing to the public. Hearing none Painchaud
closed the public hearing and opened discussion for the Council.
Story stated that in so much as the plan received unanimous
approval from the Plan Commission, and a similar lot adjacent to
the property had been approved by the previous Council, and since
there were no remonstrators or suggestion that remonstrance had
occurred, there appeared to be no reason to not move ahead. Story
made a motion to suspend the rules and act on Ordinance Z-271. The
motion was seconded by Potasnik. All members voted aye. Motion

PROPOSED ESTABLISHMENT OF LIBRARY FOR RECORDS/ CITY CODE ON THIRD
Johnson stated if the Council had a consensus to move ahead
FLOOR:
with plans for the establishment of a City library to house the
City's legal documents, he would go to the Building Corporation.
Johnson stated it was very possible the Building Corporation had
adequate funds to do the job since the ceiling grid, ceiling tile
and the floor tile was available, for the job, on the fourth floor.
Kendall asked for an estimate for the job, furniture and fixtures.
Kendall stated the Council could use that type facility to help
them make better decisions and allow the Council to do the
necessary research that was often required, but not currently
available. Jones stated if the library was created, housing Board
of Public Works and City Council minutes, ordinances, resolutions,
etc., the library would require a deputy from her office, since
state law charged her with the care and responsibility of those
documents.
Quinn made a motion to request the mayor to inquire with the
Building Corporation, if the funds were available to proceed with
the project. The motion was seconded by Kendall. All members
voted aye. Motion carried. Johnson stated bookcases could be

Utilities Department Manager, Jim Dougherty appear before the
Council to answer questions concerning the sewage bond refund along
with his opinion concerning matters the Council may be unaware of
in regard to needs for the cash such as expansion, etc. Johnson
asked that the Council resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
Johnson asked Potasnik and Fleming if they were aware of a bill
received from Umbaugh for analyzation of water and sewer. Johnson
9
stated that, to his knowledge, a water analyzation report had not
been received. Johnson stated that unless Potasnik and Fleming
were aware of a report on the water analyzation, he intended to
withhold payment of their bill until it could be produced. Johnson
stated the contract was $12,000 for sewer and $12,000 for water and
Umbaugh had billed for both. Potasnik stated his only recollection
was for sewer, but he would check the record to verify his
recollections. Fleming stated his recollection was for sewer only.
Johnson stated the contract was given to them for water and sewer.
No further action was taken concerning this item. This item will
appear on the next agenda under `Old Business'.
REQUEST FOR REPORT ON STATUS OF 116TH STREET AND GRAY ROAD
Kendall stated
INTERSECTION AND WIDENING PROJECT ON 116TH STREET:
nothing seemed to be happening on the 116th Street project.
Kendall asked what steps the mayor wanted to take to move the
project along and resolve, in particular, the problem with the
dangerous intersection of 116th and Gray Road. Kendall asked who
paid for an environmental study in Carmel from Keystone Avenue to
I-69. Johnson stated he met with the engineer for the project and
that the intersection had been designed, however,there were still a
few right-of-way difficulties, but the road would be let in March
for spring construction.
Johnson stated the engineer who did the design for the rest of
116th Street had advised him that Mayor Hancock had instructed the
firm to put the project on hold until the new administration had
taken office. Johnson stated that portion of the project had not
been designed and would take approximately 18 months for design and
paperwork such as share funds. Johnson stated it would take two
construction seasons to build the project extending the anticipated
completion time to about 3 & 1/2 to 4 years. Further discussion
followed concerning the project. Johnson and Jones stated an
environmental study for approximately $1,000 was appropriated
encumbered from `local roads and streets' the previous year.
Johnson asked for the Council's indulgence to allow him the time
and opportunity to investigate and review the project and handle
the sensitive subject of right-of-way himself. Johnson stated the
process of widening 116th Street which was proposed by the 116th
Task Force was his charge and responsibility and he intended to
proceed with that responsibility. Johnson assured the Council he
would appraise them of his progress at each Council meeting if any
new information was available. Further discussion followed
concerning the project. No further action was taken regarding this
item. This item will appear on the next agenda under `Old
Business'.
Quinn made a motion to

10
remove this item from the agenda at the request of the clerk-
treasurer. The motion was seconded by Potasnik. All members voted
aye. Motion carried.
REQUEST TO ADOPT AN ORDINANCE TO REINSTATE AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Johnson stated the Economic Development Commission
COMMISSION:
could be a vital source of activity to bring new businesses into
Carmel. Johnson stated he would like to reactivate the commission.
Quinn asked that illegally transferred funds be restored. Johnson
stated he was inclined to look toward the future rather than relive
the past and waste time getting the commission going by attempting
to recover money that has been spent without formal approval from
the Council. Quinn stated the commission could be reactivated and
the illegal transfers could be investigated concurrently. Johnson
stated he would look into the matter. Kendall asked if State law
stated who would have appointments to Economic Development
Commission and how many. Johnson stated either federal or state
law did outline the appointments. Kendall asked that the mayor ask
a City attorney draw up an ordinance for the next meeting. Johnson
stated yes.
Jones asked the Council to take the money out of the General Fund
and place it under the control of the treasurer of the Economic
Development Commission. Jones stated the money is currently under
a Council budget called the `Economic Promotional Fund'.
Potasnik suggested the mayor make the proposal at the next meeting
to the Council. No further action was taken on this item. This
item will appear on the next agenda under `Old Business'.
Story asked if the Council could direct the clerk-
OTHER BUSINESS:
treasurer to be more concise abbreviating minutes, hitting the
highlights only. Jones stated audio and video tapes could be made
available to any member of the Council on an as needed basis.
Painchaud stated the clerk-treasurer could proceed on consensus.
Story made a motion to appoint a Civic Square Centre Task Force the
identities of whom are those people currently on the Redevelopment
Commission allowing the Task Force to meet and `get the ball
rolling', in the event the Redevelopment Commission is dissolved.
The motion was seconded by Snyder. All members voted aye. Motion

Council.

motions and seconding.

11
evenings agenda. The motion was seconded by Kendall. All members
voted aye. Motion carried.

desired the claims to be returned to the Board of Works that could
be done. Discussion followed concerning the claims approval
procedures.
Quinn made a motion to approve the payroll claim dated 12-26-91 for
$303,692.27. The motion was seconded by Story. All members voted
aye. Motion carried.
