Lindsey Bennett, corporation counsel, told the council the ordinance was updated to harmonize standards with the UDO, add commercial property requirements (landscape, drainage, exterior maintenance, trash enclosures, lighting, fences and gates), and create specific vacant‑premises rules including timelines to secure or repair openings and remove signage within six months. She said the ordinance had not been updated since 2014 and that multiple departments — building, planning and zoning, and the health department — would have authority to cite and pursue remediation.

Enforcement tools: Counsel outlined four enforcement mechanisms: (1) citations through the Ordinance Violations Bureau (OVB) with specified fines that double if unpaid; (2) an action to enforce compliance where the city completes corrective work and places a lien; (3) judicial proceedings seeking fines or injunctions (statutory maximums described); and (4) remediation plans negotiated with property owners. Counsel said statutory notice requirements govern some steps and that the ordinance references the statutes rather than repeating statutory timelines.

Appeals and process questions: Council members pressed about appeals and timelines. Counsel replied that the right to be heard is preserved through existing judicial and OVB appeal processes, but she welcomed a possible pre‑court appeal opportunity between first and second reading. Council members said they favor voluntary compliance and that citations or litigation are last resorts.

Why it matters: The rewrite increases the city’s ability to address blighted, vacant or poorly maintained commercial properties and aims to support the rental registration program by clarifying maintenance expectations.

Next steps: Council recorded a first reading; staff said they will review council feedback and consider adding an administrative appeal step before a matter goes to court for second reading.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City Council Meeting: 6/16/2025","oneSentenceSummary","City attorneys and planning staff on Monday presented a comprehensive first reading of a rewritten property‑maintenance ordinance that adds commercial and vacant‑property standards and expands enforcement authorities.","taxTitle","Fishers City, Hamilton County, Indiana","taxId",4054,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515676,"Council approves Great Eagle TIF district and developer‑purchased bonds",240,1064000,1304000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca&start=1064&end=1304","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca/thumbnail_1064000.jpg","/articles/6515676/Fishers-City/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Council-approves-Great-Eagle-TIF-district-and-developerpurchased-bonds","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515676-26f355882ef4941706f8dbbf2180d4bd/orig.mp4?Expires=1771220074&Signature=n~ggbrKwyIbaSN252ki5y0pMcgdJjSZxu6StFFQeRHcqnR7otykFX4mv51eb0J8jJAexElF0~Hby~n7rPn-sN2op~VnnQi~vE~hi92W8lNRLke4V5xk9sTxxFogjoJ3RJaFQG3ZvkP7h6bcyUfhn-GtA6hpAUfAs5PwOsbZqguTTy4C4wHri9HlkN8WoowGvMrs7~vMObQo5O7nzGM0ZqLaMiSX4hybVxWypWU74DeV2Mx~bE4t76tJxc2RSL1iYT31bHGzrpR8pyV492xGV09oLOvelbPJIv0xin-QxN8L5iiN48dbqI31EBv-sxLTB7PGCNHce3UDHda1xZ0NFLA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fishers City Council voted to establish the Great Eagle tax‑increment financing district and to authorize related steps to issue developer‑purchase bonds for a mixed residential project at the intersection identified by staff (Brook Square Road and 126th Street notwithstanding an earlier address correction).

City staff described the proposal as two bond allocations: up to $750,000 for a clubhouse component and up to $7,000,000 for the multifamily development. Staff said the bonds would be developer‑purchase bonds — Gray Eagle/Grama Eagle (recorded in the packet) would purchase the bonds and be responsible for payments; the city would not be liable for the debt.

Why it matters: The proposal supports JC Hart’s development of roughly 155 age‑targeted multifamily units and conversion/ rebuilding of the clubhouse. Staff said the developer anticipates closing construction financing in July and beginning construction shortly thereafter.

Council action: After staff presentation, a council member moved approval and the council conducted a roll‑call vote; the motion passed. The council then recorded a first reading for the bonds.

Key details: Staff said there are two separate allocation areas in the TIF — one for the golf course/clubhouse parcel and one for the multifamily parcel — and that no additional incentives were provided beyond the developer‑purchase bonds. The project originated in 2021 and went through entitlement; staff and the developer described the development plan and timing.

Ending: Council approved the TIF district and advanced the financing steps; staff will return with final bond documents and closing information.","The council approved creation of the Great Eagle tax increment financing (TIF) district and voted to proceed with developer‑purchase bonds; the measures capture tax increment for a mixed housing development including 155 age‑targeted units and a clubhouse remodel.",{"_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},6515681,"Council approves incentives for California life‑sciences company relocating to Fishers",462,1469000,1931000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca&start=1469&end=1931","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca/thumbnail_1469000.jpg","/articles/6515681/Fishers-City/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Council-approves-incentives-for-California-lifesciences-company-relocating-to-Fishers","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515681-54a3775f848d7e25d67511f9c3ab93f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771220074&Signature=oe-Wgkm7p2UyPwSvA6VIOBm2O1XJcPp9WNorSzUIQ0b-DvPaZHCXPIl9L7zenR-LLlQYiv6mOMw8DbgD7kCOwI3RMiiIQTEjP3vwTw4CzVStvfeeIDKk7Z~JKKapnT6oZgmY7rgxkfZHWiLupIhfws-2XQwvjlivZsc0dpaqgPcaKy6snbJIm4RQ-RmWLzZUzUflTXUkIDsZ2bFAHqGsCTTINUUXiQ0Y7GvPyHPWE50RV2pGnlSZp9ROu2qomHEvR47QcfdpC2RZ9sdI0dLfAC83pkVEswPnfT~Y0cMQImRr~zVvLtP6LSv8kUq3NLKHy9qeUycZWLl5BQnzJUA1Pw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fishers City Council on Monday approved an economic development agreement and two tax‑abatement measures to support 1 11, a California life‑sciences company relocating its compounding pharmacy and related services to a vacant building in Fishers.

The council voted to approve the economic development agreement (item 11), to adopt a declaratory resolution beginning the vacant‑building tax‑abatement process (item 12) and to approve the company’s statement of benefits (item 14). Council members recorded aye votes during roll calls for each item; each motion passed on a majority voice/roll‑call vote.

The measures are intended to support 1 11’s planned investment in the former Juno Lighting building at 12001 Exit 5 Parkway. Meghan (economic development staff) told the council the company plans to invest “anywhere between $7 and $10,000,000” in building improvements and equipment, and expects to create about 120 jobs over the next 10 years with average salaries around $90,000.

Why it matters: Council economic development staff said the incentives are aimed at reusing a long‑vacant building and expanding Fishers’ life‑sciences cluster. The package includes a 10‑year, 100% vacant‑building tax abatement and a 10‑year, 100% personal‑property abatement; staff said the building currently carries roughly $120,000 in taxes annually and that the abatements are part of the inducement to secure the tenant.

What council discussed: Economic development staff highlighted that 1 11 plans vertical integration — starting as a compounding pharmacy with plans to add an eHealth patient navigation service and, eventually, in‑house peptide manufacturing. The council asked clarifying questions and voted without extended debate.

Next steps: Council adopted the declaratory resolution and the statement of benefits so the company can proceed with its planned improvements and tax‑incentive processes. Staff will return with implementation details, including final abatement paperwork and related compliance requirements.

Ending: Council members congratulated the company’s principals, who attended the meeting, and welcomed them back to Indiana.","The Fishers City Council approved a package including a 10‑year vacant‑building abatement, a 10‑year personal‑property abatement and related resolutions to support 1 11’s move to a vacant industrial building in Fishers; the company expects to invest millions and hire about 120 employees over 10 years.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515660,"Votes at a glance: council approves annexations, fee changes, salary amendment and abatement compliance actions",826,3877000,4703000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca&start=3877&end=4703","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca/thumbnail_3877000.jpg","/articles/6515660/Fishers-City/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Votes-at-a-glance-council-approves-annexations-fee-changes-salary-amendment-and-abatement-compliance-actions","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515660-589d4558ac0a42d29bd144d1e281463f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771220074&Signature=WOMU~5aAQfDvgqdNXrPBf2fm5loKe2Az0Oyf-D3v7fI95CRUw~5R4cu9IJfEsQ7Juc7mo5zfktLtsyrLUfhh~WRG13lskzRwoWPdybOuAkGiEimZDC9iOj7lvlkgPGq46PNniPPvXzzpL70-a66-iecFwlLFchToCmnhyuIMk~DHRtab9DAkhKj4uQ8VD29t2UBidWkCeB1B6CJJEDYBuCxOL~aaOdzIIGBRu1hFZebrSwKUTu2hapItQ~nMCh0X6ijUBXpO5bYWALhhwoHChz8wsM95L5blfRuEkk1o8JNXG01L07~f0UgNMFWKN0Zq2OKnyWo9kiKkIlWfdx7SbQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At Monday’s Fishers City Council meeting a number of items were adopted or finalized. Below are the key votes and short details; where discussion was limited, the council acted by roll call.

Votes and outcomes

- Garrett PUD (final reading, item 19): Approved. The council approved rezoning roughly 9.15 acres at 11052 Cumberland Road to a planned unit development (PUD) for 21 single‑family lots. Roll call showed a majority in favor; two council members recorded “no.”

- Annexations (items 21, 22, 23, 24): Approved. Council adopted voluntary annexations and related fiscal plans for properties including 10056 E 126th Street and parcels tied to the Garrett PUD.

- Abatement compliance forms and terminations (item 13): Approved. Staff reported 24 active abatements with two companies out of compliance; the council moved to terminate abatements for those two properties (Republic Services call center and Stanley Security Systems property) and accepted compliance forms for the rest.

- Local income tax petition to Department of Local Government Finance (item 9/resolution): Approved. Council approved a petition enabling the city to increase its maximum levy to capture more local income tax under recent state law changes; staff emphasized this does not change tax rates paid by residents.

- Fire department emergency medical services fees (item 16): Approved. The council approved updated basic life support and advanced life support fees (staff noted amounts previously presented; the council suspended rules and approved on first reading).

- Salary ordinance amendment (item 18): Approved. Council added incentive pay for a police executive lieutenant position to the 2025 salary ordinance; the council suspended rules and approved the amendment.

- Economic development compliance (items 11, 12, 14) and Great Eagle TIF (item 8): Covered in separate articles.

Why it matters: These votes finalize land‑use changes, financial and personnel adjustments, and compliance actions that will affect development, city revenues and departmental operations in the near term.

Ending: Staff will complete ministerial steps — filings, bond documentation, and administrative follow‑ups — and return to council or Board of Public Works where required.","The council approved a set of routine and substantive measures in a single meeting, including annexations, compliance actions for tax abatements, EMS fee updates, a salary ordinance amendment for a police position and the Garrett PUD final reading.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6515665,"Council records first reading of residential permit‑parking enabling ordinance after months of complaints",0,3081000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca&start=3081&end=3081","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3845816-d934056f0f9f5b9005b18de6a9121cca/thumbnail_3081000.jpg","/articles/6515665/Fishers-City/Hamilton-County/Indiana/Council-records-first-reading-of-residential-permitparking-enabling-ordinance-after-months-of-complaints","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6515665-810d573799409243f3b5bf3612084fe8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771220074&Signature=Ry2PoqACUQfZaophA9sSsTo2BCGO0yIAk0ZWq~iQyWh3U2mwOiuW8IAnFKB8U4SbmMBs6OZoJ5wh-dDYQQLmZO1KtOppV9Zwnjcji4oPGD0wHeYsLBM0d~e9AO8betnp5UaBJX00lRdMW9xiRbCl~rYToB6VhBogudnIQ4oUNGboPrEVWgpiyqq5VOYY8cCEmPWlsswUUSnGI6i8pzYGBc0rF-X3cSno4r2LtdaxS4nDHblbJD9bkQqbh00t5iPQZ0DzjChz4cyuWs9eTsfrNYP4tOe5Jv0S8MfPihQF9r1uPjWyu3r~Wtm64TEMXaja-VS~T-9GoWziVa0LvhQWhw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Fishers City Council recorded a first reading on an ordinance that would enable the police department to issue residential parking permits for specified streets and times, a response to repeated neighborhood complaints about overflow parking at two locations.

Chief Ed Gephardt and other presenters said the proposed ordinance is an enabling measure: if adopted, specific streets, dates and times would be set later by the Board of Public Works. The chief described two problem areas that prompted the proposal — a commercial use (King Jubs/prolific visitor parking) and Alhuda Mosque on Landau Road — and said enforcement to date (no‑parking signage and targeted citations) had not solved recurring overnight and event‑time congestion.

What the ordinance would do: The chief said permits would be issued from the police lobby; residents would provide identification and be issued a number of passes suited to their needs. He suggested a $150 fine for violations and said the street list could be amended over time as parking displacement occurs.

Council discussion: Members asked whether the council should suspend rules and adopt the ordinance quickly; others urged more time to answer residents’ questions. Several residents spoke during public comment in favor of permit parking; others asked for clarity on guest passes and special events. Council recorded the ordinance as a first reading and did not adopt it on the floor. Staff emphasized that the Board of Public Works would set specific streets, hours and formal implementation steps.

Next steps: Staff and the police department said they will meet with neighborhoods, refine permit logistics (including how many initial guest passes a household would receive), and present street‑specific recommendations to the Board of Public Works for public consideration.

Ending: Council members urged common‑sense enforcement and said they prefer to use permits as a targeted tool for short windows of acute parking stress rather than a blanket nightly ban.

","Police and council members presented an enabling ordinance to allow residential permit parking in specific neighborhoods; the measure passed first reading amid questions about timing, appeals and implementation and will return to the Board of Public Works to specify streets and times.","actionData","errors"]
