C ray, IAMC App ved,   Jame ~r~ City of Carmel Date: March 5, 2001 Hamilton County Commissioners Hamilton County Council Members FR: Carmel City Council We respectfully request that you appropriate the necessm3, and available funds to make the improvements we discussed in our joint meeting toward Springmill Road. We would further request that Carmel's City Engineer, Kate Weese-Boyl~, be included in the planning of the improvements to insure that they will meet our guidelines and expectations when an annexation may take place. We believe that it is appropriate for the COlT money, which is collected by the county from the residents of Clay Township, should be spent in Clay Township for the benefit of its taxpayers. These road improvements are necessary to accommodate the current and future lraffic concerns in Clay Township.

I am the President of the Hamilton County Council this year, I am here simply in the capacity as an individual member. Much attention and money has been spent on improving roads throug~aout Hamilton County by the Board of Commissioners and County Council. I have been a leader among the Council in setfing aside funds specifically for Clay Township the last 4 years, but unfortunately not all of those funds have been used in Clay Township because the Commissioners decided to not prioritize those intersections. As you are all aware, currently the County is in a holding pattern regarding improving the Springmill intersections at 106~ and 116m Streets due to the annexation discussions re-introduced as fall and which were believed to be imminent. A couple of joint meetings have been held since then with members of the Commissioners, the County Council, the Mayor, and yourselves to discuss the status of annexation and to receive your ideas regarding the timing of the intersection improvements. As of today, neither the Comtrdssioners nor the Council as a body have heard from the Camel City Council regarding your preferences with respect to these two intersections. I am here to encourage your body and members of the Carmel/Clay Township community to contact the Commissioners immediately and state your position on whether or not you desire the County to proceed with improving Springmill intersections immediately or to spend the money somewhere else. I can state confidently that more than a simple majority of the County Council shares 1t~ my view that the County has an obligation to make these improvements but as we have seen from the past, just because we allocate money towards a project does not mean that it ~vill be started or completed timely. The Conuff~ssioners must be persuaded that these projects are of a higher importance than some of their current priorities. Thank you for the opportunity to speak before you tonight.
