The Avon Town Council on Dec. 4 approved multiple year‑end financial measures, a required fiscal plan tied to an annexation petition and a salary ordinance that applies a 3.1% increase to the town manager and the clerk‑treasurer.
The council first approved the consent agenda, then voted 5‑0 to adopt Resolution 2025‑33, the fiscal plan for the Reserve at Shiloh Creek Section 2, a document required by statute to describe how the town will provide services to an annexed area. The council later adopted Ordinance 2025‑30 (additional appropriations) to authorize spending for grants received this year; staff said the ordinance includes a transfer to the rainy‑day fund and listed CCMG/INDOT reimbursements.
On personnel, the council discussed the 2026 salary ordinance, reviewed minimum/maximum ranges and FLSA status for positions, and debated whether to set exact salary figures now or in a later executive session. After discussion the council suspended the rules and approved Ordinance 2025‑33 (salary ordinance) by roll call, applying a 3.1% increase to the town manager’s and clerk‑treasurer’s positions while council members received no increase.

Several other year‑end items were introduced for later action, including Ordinance 2025‑34 (end‑of‑year reappropriation) and Ordinance 2025‑35 (updated investment policy consistent with Indiana Code 5‑13‑9). Staff said reappropriations will be finalized after closing November books and that the next meeting on Dec. 18 will include final readings as needed.
Council members asked staff and the town’s financial adviser to confirm figures before final filings and to provide the clerk‑treasurer with updated ordinance text for signatures.
