Ryan (town staff) told councilors the site should have pavement by July and proposed three possible dates for a groundbreaking: July 17, July 22 and July 29, with the July 29 date requiring an evening event. He asked council members about their availability and whether a morning or evening event would be preferable, noting July daytime temperatures.

Council members said they preferred a date when all five councilors, the Redevelopment Commission and school representatives could attend. One council member said the July 29 evening option was preferable because the paving schedule remained uncertain and the July 17 date felt tight for invitations and preparation. Staff said they would coordinate with the schools and the RDC, verify paving progress and return with a recommended date.

Council members also discussed logistics including parking, narrow streets at the Civic Center site and whether a school bus could be used for transport; staff said parking along nearby streets should suffice if paving is complete. A councilor characterized the Civic Center as “the largest project the town has ever done,” and staff said they would arrange site visits for councilors before the event if desired.

No formal action was taken; staff will follow up with scheduling and preparations once paving is confirmed.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Town of Avon Indiana Town Council Meeting - June 26th, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Councilors discussed potential dates for a Civic Center groundbreaking after staff reported pavement work would likely be finished soon; members sought dates when all five could attend and flagged coordination with school and RDC.","taxTitle","Avon Town, Hendricks County, Indiana","taxId",55764,"location","Indiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6183773,"Avon approves $12,500 purchase of debris blower for trail maintenance",163,1813000,1976000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093714-c86633d8f5bd96bcc8928c5041177ad9&start=1813&end=1976","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093714-c86633d8f5bd96bcc8928c5041177ad9/thumbnail_1813000.jpg","/articles/6183773/Indiana/Avon-approves-12500-purchase-of-debris-blower-for-trail-maintenance","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183773-aa0fcc1ae5c89e5701a74007cc55d22e/orig.mp4?Expires=1770961962&Signature=mFhD0Tdp9BWyvNmgz3Qm5KmHJtLS~hsykbdihaeyWBikkcAn04mtM0UQKytA7NHQCuOziojFXb3AIPmtWnFyen6zs2J8489ANhbtcHqYJAnqsHFAQBosxW~cx12GdgcVFDenMxCP3cP46eJ1~Sa-MtJGL7BCoH71ALInLQiYHG2RiE3o2JDyL5p8yRKL15ns1~7LbT0Se5d4OBcDtS8VYDk0i5cInkHDhjt0I4Nn8gLwkaeKY32~xefpoLViqzN29h3JvimGSrw~lFDjirnTySeDGtrLyW0BTXa~BLQtvhNNcePI53BhFOzsEKwja7sJb8smWkyvUw0WlFEq71oyiQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Avon Town Council on June 26 approved a $12,500 quote to purchase a Buffalo Turbine Cyclone KD7 debris blower used to clear town trails and public spaces.

Ryan presented the item on behalf of Parks staff, noting repeated repairs and a shop assessment that the existing unit’s engine was failing. Ryan said the new unit comes with a manufacturer warranty and a three-year engine warranty; because the town’s existing unit had been in service longer than the warranty period, it was not covered. Staff recommended awarding the quote to “Bob Catavindi” for $12,500 for the Buffalo Turbine Cyclone KD7.

Council members asked whether the vendor offered any trade-in value. Staff said the vendor would accept the old unit but would not give monetary trade-in credit; the town intends to keep the old blower for parts. Ryan told the council the new model’s components are largely transferable, which should reduce future parts costs.

A council member moved to award the quote for the debris blower as presented; the motion passed on a unanimous roll call.","Avon Town Council approved a $12,500 quote to purchase a Buffalo Turbine debris blower to maintain trails; staff will retain the old unit for parts and confirmed no trade-in credit was offered.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6183776,"Avon awards Raceway Road/100 North roundabout contract to Midwest Paving; funding gap narrows",607,1453000,2060000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5093714-c86633d8f5bd96bcc8928c5041177ad9&start=1453&end=2060","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5093714-c86633d8f5bd96bcc8928c5041177ad9/thumbnail_1453000.jpg","/articles/6183776/Indiana/Avon-awards-Raceway-Road100-North-roundabout-contract-to-Midwest-Paving-funding-gap-narrows","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6183776-9c53df368bba2e0c2b6dadbe0d08cbc4/orig.mp4?Expires=1770961962&Signature=lcp9FIbntMqtS8xAP0Qi2E9mX6N-aMHWE7sMiMAZ2oQUcl51y2yUvHHzatjLMxxBQtLv1YAC9Km0mr2SvynSI1ZM9RYxVO7cAr6WMjMLR3RUbgdGVN0RwDO8kpOaszoa3leMVtcx3InxbYDd1-EwGedY5r55LpiP6oAryxNPBhWbrHtRH5VYX~Vu3l22Bovw-8~F0nPUn6-2rnmpY3A2Rn9z~q91kfGItwQa03CEocyiipKjNfQg3u1u7ouKytuDFZ~J-me~h9Ltt4KlRaPZn8M-1vW705UCd80i2Qz2ZyM0k8SvTJUVO2G8mR9NV6d5cTRBPPy7lnhU~OYUUAyN8Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Avon Town Council voted June 26 to award the contract for the Raceway Road and County Road 100 North roundabout to Midwest Paving after the low bid came in substantially below the engineer’s estimate. Councilors also approved three right-of-way acquisition payments tied to the roundabout.

Ryan (town staff) introduced the bid results, saying the project received five bids and that the low bidder, Midwest Paving, submitted a bid of $2,000,009.55 compared with the town’s engineers estimate of $3,000,007.12. Ryan told the council that coming in under estimate was “really, really good” and that the town expects to use proceeds from a geo bond to pay its share of the project.

Ryan said the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) agreed to adjust the project participation split from 70/30 to an 80/20 arrangement because the bid came in under the allocated funding, reducing the town’s share. Ryan flagged one remaining question about whether the MPO would cover change orders if the project later exceeds the initial allocation and said staff would follow up.

Steve (town inspector/engineer) reported he had checked references for Midwest Paving and that Braun Rogers, the project inspector who previously worked on similar roundabout projects, had positive experience with the company. Steve told councilors Midwest Paving had reviewed its bid and told him it was comfortable with the price and anticipated a profit.

A council member moved to award the contract to Midwest Paving “as presented.” The motion passed on a unanimous roll call. Later in the meeting, staff asked the council to add and approve three claims to acquire additional right-of-way parcels needed for the roundabout; councilors approved those checks to allow utilities to be relocated and to keep the project on schedule.

Town staff said the low bids on this and another recently advertised project could allow the town to complete both projects with the geo bond and still have money left over to leverage for additional work, including potentially matching Community Crossing grants.

The council’s action authorizes award of a unit-price contract to Midwest Paving and immediate payment of right-of-way claims so utilities relocations and construction can proceed to keep the project timeline on track.","The Avon Town Council awarded the contract for the Raceway Road and County Road 100 North roundabout to Midwest Paving after low bids and favorable funding adjustments.

The council’s vote cleared a required annual certification tied to the project’s tax-abatement agreement. John Taylor, Economic Development, introduced the item and invited the developer’s representatives to address questions about construction delays, occupancy and job counts.

Developer representative Ethan Michael, identified in the meeting as the project CFO, told the council, “We have been open a year now out on Ronald Reagan. We are a year behind and I think that's what the concern is.” He said Phase 1 opened in May 2024, is about 75% occupied, and that the company has invested “almost $13,000,000 in the site.” He described plans for Phase 2 and Phase 3 with additional building and tenant space; he said phase 2 would add more tenant businesses and bring the park to an estimated 102 businesses and a projected employee count of about 510 after buildout.

Council members questioned the employee numbers after documents filed with the town appeared to show differing counts. Ethan Michael acknowledged a discrepancy in the form, saying the number he placed on the application reflected the incremental increase since the previous SB-1 filing and that he had omitted more recent tenant additions: “So that was my mistake.” Town staff and council members clarified that many of the employees are tenant employees rather than direct employees of the developer, a distinction the council said is important for evaluating compliance with the SB-1 tax-abatement standards.

John Taylor told the council he had asked Jim Sapp, the company owner and developer, to be present to answer questions. After discussion, a council member moved to approve the CF-1 form “as presented.” The motion passed on a roll call showing all five council members voting yes: Robert Pope, Don Loudon, Bill Holland, Jason Puckett and Greg Zuzin.

The approval is an annual procedural certification the town requires to confirm that recipients of local property-tax abatements are meeting the performance commitments in their SB-1 filings. At the meeting, the developer and staff said the project remains under construction and that some promised investment and occupancy milestones have been delayed but are expected to be met in the coming year.","The Avon Town Council unanimously approved the CF-1 compliance form for a tax abatement for the RISE development, after the developer and town staff clarified project timing, occupancy and job counts.","actionData","errors"]
