Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz presented the claims and described them as “very, very basic,” noting the total amount of $28,501.95. There was no recorded public comment, and the minutes were approved by unanimous consent.

In the director’s report and wrap-up, commissioners and staff discussed preparations for May events including communications and parking logistics. Kleinhenz said staff had “started doing all of the May stuff” and that planners were working on communications and parking details. Commission members encouraged public attendance and noted low in-person turnout: “We rarely have anybody that actually comes to our meeting,” one commissioner said, inviting residents to attend and follow Town of Speedway announcements.

Commissioners also flagged a recently posted notice of funding availability from the Metropolitan Planning Organization for corridor studies. Kleinhenz said the MPO funding opportunity covers up to $100,000 for corridor or thoroughfare studies; the commission’s local share could be about $20,000. He said deadlines were in June or July and staff would gather more information.

Commissioners closed the meeting with reminders about community events including a movie night (weather permitting) and the Home Helpers volunteer event on Saturday, and adjourned at about 6:15 p.m.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Speedway Redevelopment Commission - April 21, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The commission approved March meeting minutes by consent and approved claims totaling $28,501.95.

Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz described the arrangement as a return of a pre-COVID practice in which the town leases space in the Triangle lot, between the Wilshire Hotel and the Speedway gas station, to an advertising concessionaire for short-term mobile billboards. Kleinhenz said the signs would run Friday, Saturday and Sunday and that the vendor is expected to pay $1,500 per sign; the presenter said the vendor plans two signs for a total of $3,000 and must provide required insurance.

Kleinhenz named the vendor as Matt Murray and said a signed copy of the agreement had not been received at the time of the meeting; he said staff would secure the insurance certificate and finalize signing after commission approval. “I see this as a way for us to garner a little bit of funds for the redevelopment commission to pay expenses and bills,” Kleinhenz said.

Commissioners noted the signs also can carry helpful information such as weather or safety messages in addition to advertisements. The motion passed by voice vote, recorded 5-0.

Action taken: approve the concessionaire basic rental agreement for mobile signage in the Triangle Parking Lot (5-0). Staff will obtain the vendor’s insurance certificate and a signed agreement after the vote.","The commission approved a concessionaire space rental agreement to place mobile billboard signage in the Triangle Parking Lot for race weekend; the vendor (Matt Murray) will pay $1,500 per sign for three days, requires insurance, and expected total payment is $3,000 though the signed agreement was pending.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6265394,"Speedway Redevelopment Commission clears parking plans for Rockin' On Main and race day IMS lot",142,228000,370000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3092092-b4e5e3386a43e20bef717e05bf6fca01&start=228&end=370","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3092092-b4e5e3386a43e20bef717e05bf6fca01/thumbnail_228000.jpg","/articles/6265394/Town-of-Speedway/Marion-County/Indiana/Speedway-Redevelopment-Commission-clears-parking-plans-for-Rockin-On-Main-and-race-day-IMS-lot","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6265394-b0a6c63acc48a49b92a1ed7cfe2d6250/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161712&Signature=c~ZWZN7KKGYDF~-h51wuDXHdIuwe~Sdy5S1Rl1o35~RL1nWBiVRjvsH4UPTxku7DJtBndAqNJDI6Erfnq8a8jHgIrmipRWpPugjLZ6S78A0qsTSnUrYwM9~DF4L7BX3Fwc-iXSK8oy33RMcR-LAWUvdrDDdqv6kfWutLNAXlkGUKPpKv6bmNYwA1GAJJ3N~Bm2hpHgLv3XEUHM2DTU0VcEc3IwdNmane1wgEzDoJDyZOwO82Q~RII9Dm3e5xZXvxYrIWoUzSywC2G5p7~5K1Wobsz8eoaiZ9xyJKpnalBpzDEzlnMS5i7kSNoNBbbHaZVWiRxAMjQpwwqHKtQIBWaw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Speedway Redevelopment Commission unanimously approved two parking-related items Tuesday: a request to reserve several municipal lots and waive fees for the Rockin' On Main 2025 event, and a 2025 parking license agreement with Indianapolis Motor Speedway (IMS).

Grant Kleinhenz, Town Manager, described the reservation request as identifying specific lots — including the 1426 Main Street lot, the Crawfordsville Zelleman Lot and the Sixteenth Street lot — to park vendors and visitors during Rockin' On Main. “We just need your approval of that so that we can use those to park vendors and visitors. It's a very integral part of the Rockin' On Main Event,” Kleinhenz said. He added there are no changes from last year’s plan and that the vendor and logistics teams have organized the run-of-show.

On the parking license agreement, Kleinhenz said the 2025 contract with IMS mirrors agreements used in prior years and covers identified lots (including the Sixteenth Street and Zelman lots). He noted IMS uses those lots on race day and that revenue is shared under the agreement’s Exhibit B; Kleinhenz confirmed he had received IMS’s certificate of insurance and found it matched the contract requirements.

Both motions passed by voice vote, recorded 5-0 in favor.

Kleinhenz and commissioners discussed logistics in brief; no public comment was recorded. Kleinhenz said May preparations — including communications and parking planning — are underway and emphasized the importance of these approvals to manage on-street parking during events.

Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz, who presented the agreement, said the contract sets Markley’s annual salary at $90,000 and provides three weeks of paid vacation. “He will be a town employee, so he's subject to all of those PTO agreements, everything else that we have according to our personnel policy manual,” Kleinhenz said. Kleinhenz also said Markley lives in Speedway and is scheduled to start on Wednesday.

The commission approved the agreement after Kleinhenz noted the Town Council had already reviewed and approved the same agreement approximately one week earlier. Kleinhenz said Markley will attend a Ball State University economic development course as part of onboarding and professional development. He described Markley’s background as having “a good background in economic development” including work with DMD and other partners.

The agreement was presented as a standard town employment contract and, if signed, will require human resources onboarding before Markley begins work. Commissioners gave unanimous approval by voice vote.

Kleinhenz framed the hire as time-sensitive because May is the start of the town's busy event season and noted there are meetings already scheduled to bring Markley up to speed. He also said the commission has reviewed similar employment agreements in recent years and expected a long-term appointment.

Action taken: the commission approved the Speedway Economic Development Director Employment Agreement 5-0. The agreement specifies compensation and leave, makes Markley a town employee under the Town of Speedway personnel policy manual, and schedules an immediate start subject to HR orientation.

The commission did not cite any legal statute at the meeting; the personnel policy manual was referenced as governing employee terms. No public comment was recorded during the item.","The Speedway Redevelopment Commission voted 5-0 to approve an employment agreement hiring Kyle Markley as the Town of Speedway’s economic development director, with a $90,000 annual salary, three weeks’ vacation and town-employee status; Markley starts Wednesday and will attend a Ball State economic development course.","actionData","errors"]
