PUBLIC HEARINGS 119
120 Council President Worrell announced the Second Reading of Ordinance D-2692-23: An 121 Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, Amending Chapter 9, Article 122 2, Division IV, Section 9-55 and Restating the Schedule of Rates and Charges Collected by the 123
Water Utility; Sponsor(s): Councilor(s) Worrell and Finkam. Council President Worrell stated 124
that the Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee had met and that he would provide a summary of 125 their discussion. In 2001, there were 3 different companies providing water service to Carmel, 126 and the city decided to consolidate this. The purchase of the other 2 companies took until 2005 127 to be completed, which added 10,600 new customers. The existing lines were not sufficient and 128
had to be upgraded. In 2008, the Common Council authorized an $85 million debt to build a new 129
water plant, install new wells and put in new, larger mains. This was done through a $35 million 130 bond anticipation note and a traditional $50 million bond. Utilities Director John Duffy stated 131 that the goal was to keep the rates low, while also upgrading the service. The current plant will 132 now serve the city for generations to come. When the Council voted in 2008 to approve the $35 133
million, ($20.5 million of which was used), there were no payments made. It was intentional to 134
wait until the upgrades were completed, so that the cost increase would be absorbed by all of the 135 new users. This will be a 35% price increase on water. Councilor Green asked if there was any 136 way the 35% rate increase could get phased in. Scott Miller of Baker Tilly Municipal Advisors 137 replied that phasing in would not be advised because we have $17,745,000.00 of bond 138
4
anticipation notes coming due on May 1, 2024. Additionally, the outstanding bonds that remain 139 from the 2008 transaction are being restructured, and we need the new rates in place to do that. 140
That financing is anticipated to happen in the Spring. Councilor Rider asked what dollar amount 141
an average Carmel customer would expect to pay with a 35% increase. Mr. Miller responded that 142 the average customer, using 4,000 gallons per month, could expect their monthly rate to increase 143 by $11.27. This still keeps our rates right in the middle of the range that our surrounding 144 municipalities pay. Council President Worrell opened the public hearing at 6:28 p.m. 145
146
Seeing no one who wished to address the Council, Council President Worrell closed the public 147 hearing at 6:28 p.m. Councilor Rider moved to approve Ordinance D-2692-23. Councilor 148 Campbell seconded. There was no discussion. Council President Worrell called for the vote. 149 Ordinance D-2692-23 was approved 9-0. 150
151
Council President Worrell announced the Second Reading of Ordinance D-2693-23: An 152 Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, Amending Chapter 9, Article 153 2, Division II, Section 9-44, Chapter 9, Article 2, Division III, Sections 9-45, 9-51 and 9-52 and 154 Chapter 9, Article 2, Division IV, Sections 9-58, 9-62 and 9-75 of the Carmel City Code; 155
Sponsor(s): Councilor(s) Worrell and Finkam. Council President Worrell stated that this came 156
out of the Finance, Utilities and Rules Committee with a unanimous favorable recommendation. 157 Council President Worrell opened the public hearing at 6:30 p.m. 158
159 Seeing no one who wished to address the Council, Council President Worrell closed the public 160
hearing at 6:31 p.m. Councilor Rider moved to approve Ordinance D-2693-23. Councilor 161
Finkam seconded. There was no discussion. Council President Worrell called for the vote. 162 Ordinance D-2693-23 was approved 9-0. 163
164 Council President Worrell announced the Second Reading of Ordinance D-2694-23: An 165
Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, Amending Chapter 9, Article 166
3, Division IV, Section 9-171 of the Carmel City Code; Sponsor(s): Councilor(s) Worrell and 167 Finkam. Council President Worrell stated that this came out of the Finance, Utilities and Rules 168 Committee with a unanimous favorable recommendation. In summary, this is for a 20% increase 169 in Sewer/Wastewater rates. Although the current system is fine, we are looking toward future 170
growth, which will require expansion, including installation of a larger keystone interceptor. In 171
the interest of timing this expansion with road improvements on Carmel Drive, it makes sense to 172 only tear up the roads once, so time is of the essence. There is currently $2.6 million in debt for 173 the next 3 years, this drops to $2.5 million, and the adjustment in rates would provide for 174 improvements of $14 million plus remove the $10.5 million band that was done earlier this year. 175
Councilor Aasen asked if future population growth would conceivably cover any future bonds. 176
Utilities Director John Duffy responded that future fees collected would reduce the bond needed, 177 and our goal is to issue the bond without having to raise rates again. Council President Worrell 178 opened the public hearing at 6:33 p.m. 179
180
Seeing no one who wished to address the Council, Council President Worrell closed the public 181
hearing at 6:34 p.m. Councilor Rider moved to approve Ordinance D-2693-23. Councilor 182 Finkam seconded. There was no discussion. Council President Worrell called for the vote. 183 Ordinance D-2694-23 was approved 9-0. 184

NEW BUSINESS 186
187
Council President Worrell announced the First Reading of Ordinance D-2697-23: An 188
Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, Amending Chapter 9, Article 189 6, Sections 9-224 and 9-231(k) of the Carmel City Code; Sponsor: Councilor Worrell. Councilor 190 Rider moved to introduce the item into business. Councilor Campbell seconded. Councilor Rider 191 introduced the item to Council. Utilities Director Duffy presented the item to Council. In 2011, 192
the City and the Common Council created an ordinance to allow the Utilities to put out a bid to 193
find a city-wide solid waste and recycling service, which resulted in rates being 150% lower than 194 what they had been previously. Republic Services won that bid and we signed a 5-year contract 195 with them. In 2016, they won the bid again, and we signed a 7-year contract, which expires at 196 the end of 2023. We recently put out a bid and Republic won again. The program requires that 197
the Council adopt the new rate, and this ordinance sets that rate. Councilor Green asked Director 198
Duffy to go through the rate differences. Director Duffy presented the bid responses, and 199 Republic’s bid was lower throughout the 7-year contract than the other two companies. 200 Councilor Hannon commented that this bid system has helped to achieve lower costs and less 201 waste removal traffic on the roads, but more should be done to educate the public on more 202
efficient recycling practices. Director Duffy responded that Republic’s current contract requires 203
them to spend $5,000 per year on education and the next contract will require $10,000.00 be 204 spent per year. Councilor Aasen commented that although some citizens were initially hesitant to 205 move to a city-wide program, this program has proven to be beneficial to the community. 206 Council President Worrell stated that some of our senior citizens have arranged to have their 207
cans brought out to the curb, and we want to make sure that arrangement continues. Director 208
Duffy stated that those residents should call the Utility directly and they can facilitate making 209 sure that stays in place. Council President Worrell also asked about the secondary bid that went 210 out regarding electric vehicles. Republic uses compressed natural gas, which is greener than 211 diesel. Director Duffy responded that although Republic has a plan to roll out electric vehicles in 212
the next few years, it doesn’t make sense to pay higher rates for electric vehicles now, while they 213
are not available. Councilor Rider moved to suspend the rules and act on this tonight. Councilor 214 Finkam seconded. There was no discussion on suspending the rules. Council President Worrell 215 called for the vote. The motion was approved 9-0. Councilor Rider moved to approve Ordinance 216 D-2697-23. Councilor Finkam seconded. There was no Council discussion. Council President217
Worrell called for the vote. Ordinance D-2697-23 was approved 9-0. 218

CARMEL HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
QUARTERLY REPORT TO CARMEL CITY COUNCIL
JANUARY 2024
October 2023 to December 2023
•The Preservation Plan for the Caperton-Carter House was approved by the Commission. The designation

• CRC
Developing the Strategic Plan
• Develop plan for 1 year, 3 year and 5 year measurability
• 6 months to have a dra� strategic plan.
• We will have to work in between our quarterly mee�ngs to work on it.
• Are we free to meet in between or do those have to be publicly no�ced?
• Biggest bang for the buck to start.
o Rela�vely quick with rela�vely low expense.
• Things that are already being done, but aren't done yet by the City.
o Maybe they don't have funding and that's why they are stalled.
• We could go to the Depts. and ask what they plan to work on this year or in the future and what
resources they need.
• Jeremy just bought an electric vehicle for the price of 2 hybrid vehicles and they are learning
from them.
• We could do a priori�za�on of the strategies like we did with the Climate Vulnerabili�es
• We could look at the Greenhouse gas emissions inventory to see which strategies will have the
biggest impact to get us to net zero.
• Should we group the commitee into subgroups for certain sec�ons of the CAP to look at instead
of everyone looking at all 42 strategies?
• Sustainability Coordinator could help us get some of this work done.
o We could put it into the budget for 2024
o We need a job descrip�on and work with HR Director
o We could start working on this right away.
o For this Fall we will have a Climate Fellow that is part-�me to focus on the CAP.
• Are we only working on items that the City has control over because government emissions is a
lot less than the City as a whole.
o We should lead by example first, but then also start to form partnerships to work with
organiza�ons outside of the City.
• Tony was voted into the Chair.
• Nanete is interested in being Secretary.
• We would like to have a mee�ng between now and October.
• Dr. Hannon will work with HR on a job descrip�on for a full �me employee.
• We should come up with an electronic par�cipa�on policy.
Second Mee�ng: 9/20/2023
Atendance: Dr. Tim Hannon, John Duffy, Leslie Webb, Tony Reck, Michael Klitzing, Alexia Lopez, Jeremy
Kashman
Commitee decided to go through the 7 different sectors and evaluate the strategies based on the groups
that were formed. The goal will then be to Iden�fy a few key strategies that will have a large impact.
7 Sectors
Public Educa�on
• Already done on 2 ini�a�ves.
• Climate Fellow has started working on Public Educa�on about Impacts. She is working on a
Sustainability Webpage on the City’s website as well as educa�onal handouts about climate
change and other topics that we can post on the webpage.
• We can loop in other Depts. into the webpage and work with them and not reinvent the wheel.
• The Commitee asked about how we could assess impacts of the webpage on the community.
o Clicks on the website, feedback form on the webpage.
• PE-1, 2, and 4 were elevated.
Energy and Built Environment
• EB-5, 6,7, and 8 have high GHG Reduc�on impacts.
• EB-6, 7, 8 are short �me frame
• Some might be a higher level to entry.
• Some strategies on the municipal level might be easier to start.
• For example, could we put a policy in place for the City to meet certain standards for
renova�ons.
• EB-2 on energy benchmarking would be doable and have an impact. Water is the biggest energy
user for the City so water reduc�on would help this too.
• EB-6 is a high GHG Reduc�on and could help residen�al energy conserva�on measures.
• EB-1, 2, and 6. Elevate those.
• Full Time Employee (FTE) could help. They could help with looking for grants.
Transporta�on
• Some things we are already doing, but what is the baseline and how do we want to see it grow
or measure it.
• Engineering is using a loaner e-bike to test it out and look at usage.
• We could even do a policy that if it is a short-term trip, employees should use a bike.
• FTE could check in with Depts. to see if they are using any bikes or e-bikes.
• How do we encourage employees to use the employee bikeshare?
• Pool of e-bikes to be used across departments.
• T-4 is something the city could do.
• City is working on an EV readiness plan. We've developed it somewhat, but we would like a
consultant to take it up a notch. Timothy Renick is spearheading it.
• Police have some plug-in hybrids. Eng. Has one plug-in hybrid. They have 2 hybrid trucks.
• U�li�es is looking at charging EVs off of solar. It would be nice to have an FTE to keep track of
this all over the City and help with researching this.
• FTE could be in DOCS, but has a sponsor from someone higher up (Exec. Sponsor), like Mayor,
Deputy Mayor, etc.
• As transi�on to EV takes place, the grid will need to grow by 3X.
• Status of hiring a FTE Sustainability Coordinator. Budget workshops are Thursday and Friday.
Should be finalized by end of Oct. The FTE would show up the first of the year.
• Could ERI present to us next year and present what they do? Could we get a fellow next year
too?
• T-1 (includes T-6&7), T-4 were selected to Elevate to the top of the list.
• T-2 - Commuter line feasibility study. May be hard poli�cally to get done. An internal circulator
might be more feasible.
• Could we work with the schools on electric buses or no-idling policies.
Solid Waste
• Our waste contract is up soon and we will look at where the waste goes and incorpora�ng a
greener aspect.
• Do we get metrics on what goes into recycling?
• Separated recycling is beter but people don't want to do that.
• Compos�ng - Asked bidders for compos�ng. Republic and waste management offer something
like that. So we may end up with compos�ng in the next waste contract.
• Could we do the outdoor compost bin voucher program?
• We have the rain barrel voucher program.
• SW-3, 4 were decided to elevate.
Water and Wastewater
• Tony shared an idea to put guters on solar panels on the parking garages to collect rainwater
that goes into cisterns on the parking garage that can be used for water trucks to water hanging
flowers.
• WW-1 might have more bang for the buck regarding GHG reduc�ons as this would help reduce
hot water usage as well which requires energy to heat up.
• Are we audi�ng water use in municipal opera�ons? How is the City doing on using water.
• Add a number 4 to Water and wastewater to audit the City's water use.- Or lump it into the
Municipal energy benchmarking.
• WW-1, 4 (City water u�liza�on audit) were decided to elevate to the top of the list.
Local Food and Agriculture
• Ashlyn and Rebecca were not present to report back on the strategies they looked at.
• We can discuss this sector at the next mee�ng.
Greenspace
• G-4 Increase the number of trees annually
• G-1 - rain garden loca�on and iden�fica�on and installa�on in urban heat islands.
• Could we do rain gardens in the roundabouts.
• There is a rain garden outside of city hall along Veteran's way.
• No gas-powered mowing policy - May not be poli�cally supported. But could we work with our
mowing contractors? Transi�on blowers and weed whackers. Something Parks is working on
but it is more of a long term goal.
• G-3 - Na�ve and Drought-resistant landscaping
• Turf is the biggest issue for irriga�on and watering. = Automa�c irriga�on. Irriga�on has a huge
impact on Carmel’s overall water usage.
• G-1, 3, 4 were picked to elevate.
Going forward we will compile everything we've selected and Tony will send it out and then we will
knock it down from there and end up with a list of about 5.
Third Mee�ng: 10/25/2023
Atendance: Tim Hannon, Leslie Webb, Kelvin Okamoto, Tony Reck, Ashlyn Walker, Alexia Lopez, Nanete
Barret, Jeremy Kashman, John Duffy,
Strategies:
We narrowed it down to 17 strategies at the last mee�ng.
2 strategies received a 4.5
The 2 lowest were in the 2s.
PE-1: Climate Change Educa�on - Should probably be one of the top strategies
PE-2: Climate Vulnerability Assessment - What would this be?
• The assessment is done, but the report is not finalized. A step 2 of the assessment is to have a
second workshop to brainstorm ideas for how to prepare for or reduce the climate
vulnerabili�es.
• The commitee would like to have a presenta�on of the report, so people know the outcome.
PE-4: Climate Sustainability Commitee. Already up and running. May need our support.
EB-1: Municipal Energy Efficiency Evalua�on and Upgrades. If we don't measure, we can't show
improvement. Lead by example. It might be easier or quicker for us to implement since we have more
control over our own opera�ons. The City may have already done some of the easier upgrades like LED
ligh�ng.
• Does our GHG Inventory count as our Baseline? It might be too broad and doesn't get into
building by building.
• Could we use Duke to do an energy audit? They offer a free evalua�on.
EB-2: Municipal Energy Benchmarking and Disclosure Program. Builds on EB-1. If you are doing EB-1 you
should do EB-2 as well. They kind of go hand in hand.
EB-6: Residen�al Energy Conserva�on Measures. Work with Duke on this.
• Get Duke to present to CNAN.
• Does this impact new construc�on? It would be hard to require higher standards.
When looking at these strategies, the City focused ones are good, but we should also pick some that
keep the ci�zens involved.
Conversa�on seemed to be leaning toward government strategies, that we can control.
Can we also bring the residen�al and commercial communi�es along at the same �me so we don't have
to wait un�l all of the government strategies are complete. The Climate Crisis is urgent.
Water is a high consumer of energy for the City Government opera�ons.
However, water and wastewater are the lowest of the Community Emissions as a whole. The highest
community CO2 producers are Transporta�on, Residen�al Energy, Commercial Energy.
Educate people about water conserva�on especially related to watering grass and irriga�on.
Energy Evalua�on and Upgrades and Benchmarking and Wastewater Assessment. Add Compos�ng.
SW-3: Food Compos�ng Pilot Programs. Can't just do food compos�ng, need lawn compos�ng. Landfills
are a high methane producers. If we can reduce food and yard waste going to the landfills, that will
reduce the methane.
• Can the City Government start commercial compos�ng yard waste?
• Could we do a city compos�ng facility? Or could we do it through Republic? Republic already
has a compos�ng facility?
• A City wide Commercial compos�ng would have a longer set up �me. It is good to have on the
list because of its big impact, but it may not be one of the first things we work on.
T-1 Encourage Mul�-Modal Transporta�on and Walkability with Updated Policies
• We have great infrastructure, but people s�ll drive. How can we encourage more biking?
• Incen�vize kids and schools. Have a program like the old Pizza Hut Book It! program in the
schools. Call it Bike-it?
• Neighborhood support centers were men�oned, but not all ci�zens want that.
Top priori�es to work on
• EB-1, EB-2, WW-4 (G-3), SW-3, SW-4
o PE-1, PE-2 are already being done
o PE-1 call it Public Educa�on about Climate Impacts and Solu�ons.
o T-4 can be worked on by the Sustainability Commitee and has been started by a City EV
working group.
Maybe the City could use a sustainability intern as well.
