On trash, the mayor said the administration audited its 311 responses and created a trash task force integrating code enforcement, the street department, city maintenance and Republic Services to address large items and illegal dumping. He said crews pick up items as well as issue citations and that the task force averages six to eight trailer loads on a single Wednesday when working through a district.

On street sweeping, Sackville said the city is dividing Terre Haute into zones and will publish a standardized operating procedure and schedule so residents know when to move vehicles for sweeping; the plan will be posted on the city\rataHub and coordinated with Republic Services to avoid conflicts with trash pickup.

The mayor said bids for the community crossing program came in about 10% under estimates and that the first half of this year\fity sidewalk work came in roughly $25,000 under the engineer\u000estimate; he said those savings may allow the administration to add an additional street project or cover change orders. The administration has provided maps of streets and sidewalks targeted for paving and repair and plans to publish estimated timelines.

On state tax legislation, Sackville summarized recent changes to Senate Bill 1 that would limit the marginal growth quotient and alter referendum timing and business personal property tax treatments. He said the city
nd school corporation would be negatively impacted by some of the amendments and that, based on local modeling, an estimated 1.4% local-option income tax would be needed to offset the shortfall for local governments — which he translated to roughly $739 per year for a median household of $52,789 under the assumptions he described. He said April is the end of the legislative session and that more updates would follow as amendments move through the House.

Council members asked questions about where project maps and data would be published and whether street-sweeping layers on DataHub already reflect all funded work; the mayor said he would integrate HUD-funded redevelopment work onto the DataHub street map and circulate more detailed consultant calculations on SB1's projected impact.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Terre Haute City Council Regular Meeting 2-13-2025 at 6:00 p.m.","oneSentenceSummary","Mayor Sackville told the Terre Haute City Council the city has launched a trash task force, is creating a consolidated street-sweeping schedule, and saw infrastructure bids come in under estimates; he also briefed council on how recent amendments to Senate Bill 1 could affect local revenue and potentially require a 1.4% local-option income tax to replace lost business personal property tax.","taxTitle","Terre Haute City, Vigo County, Indiana","taxId",4154,"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},6032604,"Terre Haute council approves $6.9 million bond for Terminal Hotel after lengthy debate",3271,735000,4006000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433363-ff943fe833d09929f15d67853d33a936&start=735&end=4006","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433363-ff943fe833d09929f15d67853d33a936/thumbnail_735000.jpg","/articles/6032604/Terre-Haute-City/Vigo-County/Indiana/Terre-Haute-council-approves-69-million-bond-for-Terminal-Hotel-after-lengthy-debate","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6032604-2a5279b091fa54f116bf3ab683859c34/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179587&Signature=BGC8gsJwo5jb5ozGngpSGSDEbRIzS64zXCiCRwJ1SGqYX2aAtG2VgWVeyZhfEAScQH9nQ6EirZ025D-~Cb~Ud94Kd2NBHMpm16G9kcMkJ2syxCgtiH1LfgI0PS3-BLCvJRD5al~9G9HCh6WrjgVPQVlWHxey3et41d7MFVjQUPIom3GXNkrHsAu2Ju0TQ7-ajZ-XbhNk62cfDC450apSukcO7WWDRNh4k7wgkA5I5ZAOuh8nPWpiANmps-SVEzQZo8--bzArC4n2qQhqZlvf7bcVTyzAumXJOe1LLH98Bp9TCNLhhy0TxIcf22~pHEDyBUJogywBReAUC-igBpXpSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Terre Haute City Council on March 6 adopted Special Ordinance 02/2025, authorizing a $6,900,000 economic development revenue bond for Terminal Hotel Partners LLC to advance a downtown hotel project. The bond measure passed by roll call vote, 9-0.

The ordinance authorizes issuance of short-term bonds that redevelopment officials expect will be paid immediately or within days; bond counsel and the developer said the $6.9 million figure includes the $6.7 million in incentive funding pledged by the redevelopment commission plus costs tied to issuing the bonds. Dustin Meeks, bond counsel with Barnes & Thornburg, told the council the economic project and loan agreement recognizes that the redevelopment commission needs the council’s approval to act, but that the council itself is not a direct contracting party to that agreement.

The question of process dominated discussion. Several council members said they had not received key contract documents until the day of the meeting and pressed for more transparency and time to consult the council attorney. Councilperson Thompson said the timing put the council “in a position” where she felt compelled to vote for the project but warned: “Do not put city council in this position ever again. Be transparent. Be honest.” Other council members echoed frustration about late delivery of loan documents and attachments and requested clearer notice from the redevelopment commission in future matters.

Eddie Felling of Linden Felling Law Firm, representing Terminal Hotel Partners, said the project already had committed public funding and that the TIF cash was on hand. He explained the $6.7 million is the amount Terminal Hotel Partners could receive under the purchase and sale contract and that the $6.9 million bond amount includes issuance and administrative costs required by state statute. Felling said the structure is essentially a short-term passthrough: the bank would advance funds and the bonds would likely be paid off almost immediately.

Council members sought legal clarity about whether redevelopment could be sued if the council failed to approve the bond ordinance. Felling said redevelopment could face breach-of-contract claims; Meeks confirmed the loan agreement’s language is intended to reflect that redevelopment’s performance depends on the council’s approval of a bond issuance. Councilmember Dinkel and others stressed the redevelopment commission negotiates separately from the council and said they expect clearer communication from redevelopment going forward.

Several members quantified the public contribution to the project during the debate: council discussion listed $3,000,000 from ARPA, $6,700,000 in redevelopment/TIF commitments, $4,171,000 in REDI grant funds and other in-kind contributions such as city-owned property conveyed for $1 and demolition paid by the city. Developers and administration representatives said there were no further requests to the council anticipated at this time.

Councilman Chalos moved to adopt Special Ordinance 02/2025; Councilman Azar seconded. A subsidiary motion to table the ordinance was made earlier in the discussion but was withdrawn. A roll call vote followed and the ordinance passed 9-0. The council record shows the action as: adopt Special Ordinance 02/2025 authorizing issuance of economic development revenue bonds for Terminal Hotel Partners LLC — outcome: approved.

The developer team present said the project remains on schedule and that the bond step is a statutory formality necessary to enable the pledged TIF payment to flow. Bond counsel said the form economic project and loan agreement and trust indenture would be executed following the council’s approval of the bond ordinance.","The Terre Haute City Council on March 6 approved Special Ordinance 02/2025 authorizing a $6.9 million economic development revenue bond for Terminal Hotel Partners LLC, passing the ordinance by a 9-0 roll call after extended debate about process and transparency.",{"_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},6032600,"Council rezones 1519 Washington to M-1 and vacates adjacent alley to allow fenced vehicle-parts operation",98,4232000,4330000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5433363-ff943fe833d09929f15d67853d33a936&start=4232&end=4330","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5433363-ff943fe833d09929f15d67853d33a936/thumbnail_4232000.jpg","/articles/6032600/Terre-Haute-City/Vigo-County/Indiana/Council-rezones-1519-Washington-to-M-1-and-vacates-adjacent-alley-to-allow-fenced-vehicle-parts-operation","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6032600-d911df4c16e5653b38e6afbfdb56944a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771179587&Signature=agC2r35Eh6CllmVjyI5RGTqxMR43uX9sls3GM~q-5tz3GajW7POK7ol~uEpODnFhvJrpACFklBMCJGBF~7kG2C7YzVYd~DnBVE2AQBrI882j42kA7egtKL5KuImjHnNTTZjnxqL6jYeRGWhGQqP05tth4gyTlRux9N8LXlyPihTZ-8iUvyG7GGwE2dwecjWriTpWwo58BlUrzIN-MIyr~bfASXZGeeMPEYe8CxvD6-o2Jylkjku3DftNBRZQYDDlFWG~ixp70G7ttOrunFFfprwRTdShQWsmGDqAmAXuGOMYtSAXAT4vtO86XUm1go4d~k7cX2VZoSD5VPctMcDgjg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Terre Haute City Council approved Special Ordinance 43/2024 to rezone the property at 1519 Washington Avenue to M-1 industrial zoning and also adopted Special Ordinance 6/2025 to vacate a portion of the east-west alley adjoining the site.

Attorney Eddie Felling said he represented property owner Jared Smith and that the owner intends to erect a solid fence around the site and operate a small vehicle-dismantling and parts resale business. Felling described the operation as: vehicles would be brought in one at a time, taken apart and component parts such as airbags sold online; he said no large-scale on-site processing would occur and that the fence would shield vehicles from public view.

Area Planning recommended approval with conditions, Felling told the council, and he said surrounding parcels already contain M-1 and M-2 zoning and tow yards. No members of the public spoke against the rezoning at the meeting. Councilman Dinkel moved approval of Special Ordinance 43/2024; Councilman Chalos seconded. The motion passed on an aye/voice vote.

Later in the meeting, council members approved Special Ordinance 6/2025 to vacate a portion of the east-west alley immediately south of 1519 Washington Avenue; Felling said the alley had largely functioned as private driveways and that the vacation would allocate 7.5 feet to adjoining owners. That ordinance was moved by Councilman Azar and seconded by Councilperson Boland and passed on an aye/voice vote.

Eddie Felling and Jared Smith were present to answer council questions. Council members asked no substantive conditions beyond those recommended by area planning. The council approved both actions as part of its consent items and planning agenda.","The Terre Haute City Council approved rezoning of 1519 Washington Avenue to M-1 (industrial) and approved an adjoining alley vacation to allow property owner Jared Smith to erect a solid fence and operate a vehicle-parts business that dismantles vehicles one at a time and resells parts online.","actionData","errors"]
