Good evening, Councillors.

I will now call to order the City County Council meeting for Monday, February 2nd, 2026.

We'll begin our meeting with a prayer and pledge of allegiance, led by Councillor Delaney.

Hello, everyone.

I have the honor this evening to introduce Reverend Mindy Moore from St.

Luke's United Methodist Church.

It's my own church.

And I'm so honored to have her here this evening.

I also wanted to mention that St.

Luke's is a proud partner with the city on our Streets to Home program.

And they they talk about it a lot, so I just really honored to have her here.

Well, thank you so much.

Let's pray together.

God, we pray for our city and all the complex multitudes that it contains.

We know that there are those in our city experiencing deep joy right now, and others who are trying to navigate incredibly painful times.

We especially pray for the most vulnerable among us, those who are sick or hurting, who are without housing, those who are struggling economically or wondering what their future holds.

Help us be aware of and compassionate toward those needs today and every day.

And finally, God, I lift up the leaders present in this room.

The weight of leadership is no small thing.

And I pray that you would encourage and equip them for the work that they do.

Give them strength and courage when it's needed, especially when the tasks before them prove to be challenging or uncomfortable.

Give them wisdom and discernment as they care for this community, and that let the love of neighbor drive all that they do.

We pray these things together.

Amen.

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands.

If all counselors would indicate their attendance by selecting the green button.

Proposal number 59, introduced by Councillor Barth, Gibson and Allen.

Thank you, Madam President.

Um tonight we have a proposal for a special resolution recognizing February 2026 as American Heart Month and February 5th as National Ware Red Day and supporting community-wide efforts to improve emergency preparedness and cardiac arrest survival rates.

Whereas sudden cardiac arrests is a leading cause of death in the United States, with more than 350,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occurring annually and survival rates averaging only 10% and whereas approximately 70% of out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the um, making bystanders often family members the first and most critical link in the chain of survival.

And whereas more than 23,000 children experience out-of-hospital cardiac arrests each year, with almost 20 percent among infants and nearly 40 percent occurring during the sports activities, and whereas immediate accordious that word or triple person's chance of survival, yet only 41 percent of individuals experiencing cardiac arrests receive bystander CPR and fewer than 12 percent receive assistance from an automated external defibrillator before emergency medical services arrive, and whereas the studies show that women are less likely than men to receive bystander CPR due to the fear of causing harm, perceived legal risks, or discomfort from physical contact.

Barriers that can be reduced through public education, training and awareness, and whereas hands-only CPR calling 911 and pushing hard and fast in the center of the chest has been shown to significantly improve survival for adults and teens.

While infants and children require CPR with rescue breaths to restore oxygen and circulation and whereas Indiana Code Section 20-34-8-9 requires in part that all public charter and accredited non public schools develop a venue specific uh emergency action plan for sudden cardiac arrest that includes detailed instructions regarding how to respond to a sudden cardiac arrest and include indicating the location of the nearest AED at the venue, which will increase the likelihood of survival by up to 70 percent.

And whereas the Indianapolis Airport Authority established a nation's first airport-wide cardiac emergency response plan, strengthening the readiness of airport staff, vendors, and volunteers to respond effectively during cardiac emergencies and whereas of 2021, the City County Council passed General Ordinance 40, revised code section 252-405, enabling AED requirements for owners and operators of public spaces, and whereas the American Heart Association, Nation of Lifesavers initiative seeks to double survival from out of hospital cardiac arrest by 2030 by empowering communities, workplaces, and public institutions to increase CPR and AED readiness.

And whereas the City of Indianapolis, Marion County, recognizes that community-based strategies such as CPR AED education and public access to defibrillators and adoption of CERPFs in municipal buildings, public venues, and workplaces strengthen public safety and improves outcomes for residents and visitors.

The City County Council encourages all residents, businesses, schools, community organizations, and city county departments and agencies to learn CPR, promote awareness of cardiac arrests in emergency response, and join in the effort to build an agent of lifesavers, ensuring that every person everywhere is prepared to act in a cardiac emergency.

Section two, the City County Council of the City of Indianapolis and Marion County hereby recognizes February 2026 as American Heart Month and recognizes February 5th as National Wear Red Day in Indianapolis and Marion County.

Section 3, the Mary, the mayor is invited to join this resolution by fixing his signature, and he has uh section four.

This resolution shall be in full force and effect upon adoption in compliance with IC 363414.

Um I still move.

Second the motion properly moved and second.

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Those opposed, same sign.

The motion carries back to the speakers.

Uh Madam President, with your permission, we have representatives of the American Heart Association of Indiana here.

Could they make a few comments?

Yes, sir.

Please proceed.

Thank you, Counselors, for um honoring Heart Month and the work of the American Heart Association.

Thank you, Councillor Gibson, Councillor Barth and Councillor Allen.

We um we appreciate the recognition and the awareness that bystander CPR and immediate AED are the best ways to save lives in Indianapolis.

So as we're on a campaign now of we're the first responders until first responders arrive.

So thank you very much.

Thank you.

Comments from counselors.

Councilor Hart.

Thank you, Madam President.

I have just one question.

You know, I wasn't I'm not a committee member on this, but it struck my attention when I had a couple uh individuals send me videos from all the snow we had recently in its regards to proposal 14.

Uh it's talking about the agreement for the metered parking systems to be maintained by uh park Indy.

And there's just a video circulating downtown, and and I even experienced it personally a couple days after it's not coming downstairs downtown where I was uh unable to park at a meter, essentially because there was just you know snow all in this area.

And the question that was proposed uh multiple times to me through again through video, uh, but a resident business owner was if we're contracting out to park Indy to maintain these meters.

Um, where does the responsibility lie and why doesn't the responsibility lie with them to also remove the snow from the parking spots where these meters are because this was prohibiting business from the business owner?

So my question is has there been any discussion um either when amending this proposal or in the past with Park Indy uh to have responsibility to uh keep those parking lots operable um during any any season.

Madam Chair, do you have a response?

I I see Director Wilson.

He's coming to the podium.

Thank you, Director Wilson.

Thank you, Councilor Hart, for your question.

Thank you, Madam President.

Um Todd Wilson, Department of Public Works, Director.

Uh Councilor Hart, uh good question about the snow removal on our uh parking meter uh spaces.

Um this snowstorm that we got uh last week uh was something that um we were anticipating having to remove snow in those parking spots.

Um the uh the agreement with Park Indy does not address snow removal.

So I think uh our next time we um uh entertain that a new agreement with Park Indy, we might uh you know address that with that uh right now.

Um during extenuary circumstances like we got this last week.

Um the city is committed to making sure that our uh the our business owners along those corridors are are are uh have their I guess constituents and those uh their their um their vendors or not vendors but their their uh patrons.

I'm sorry.

Looking for that can access those businesses.

So we did uh act this time and we remove snow in parking spaces along Mass Av and along uh Broad Ripple Avenue and Westfield Boulevard this last week.

Thank you.

Councilor Brown.

Thank you, Madam President.

Uh and thank you, Director Wilson for that.

Uh I did want to thank Councilor Hart because I've absolutely heard uh a lot of frustration from constituents about that exact issue, although they they do acknowledge and appreciate the efforts that have been made and the extended circumstances.

Uh for the record, I'm like very opposed to Park Indy and wish that we didn't privatize away our parking.

Uh but this proposal um actually just increases enforcement to protect vulnerable road users, and so I think it's uh nothing but a good thing, even though I'm like the biggest park indie hater.

So uh just wanted to uh mention that.

But my main point uh, Madam President was uh to ask to be added uh as a co-sponsor to proposal number thirty-one.

Uh really you should always watch our public works committee meetings, but for anyone in the audience who has not watched that meeting, I think uh my fellow counselors, especially uh counselor Ali Brown did a wonderful job of explaining the hundred different reasons why having responsible uh union apprenticeship programs uh helps everybody in the city, whether you're in a union or not.

And so I'd love to be added to co-sponsor if possible, and just wanted to praise this work being done.

Thank you.

Thank you, Councilor Brown, Mr.

Vice President.

Thank you, Madam President.

I will I think I appreciate Councilor Hart's comments.

I had um similar um issues during the the height of the storm resident, I mean uh business owners in Brownerport brought the same issue up to me.

I did reach out to DPW and the very next day they went and cleared all those.

Um, but as which I appreciated.

That was quick uh response, especially uh for small businesses who were affected significantly during during the storm.

But I think you bring up a fair point for the next round of contracting.

Thank you, Mr.

Vice President.

Leader Evans.

Thank you, Madam President.

I think uh it would be good to have clarification on the term the contract.

Is this in reference to the agreement that was originally done in 2000 before my time?

14, 15, 13.

I think that should be clarified so that this the public who are watching know that this council is not signing off on Mr.

Director, do you okay?

Mr.

Director, you have uh I want to respond to that briefly.

Yes, thank you.

Uh this is uh re revising the one the original agreement we have from 2017.

Yes.

Thank you.

Councilor Boots.

Thank you, Madam President.

Good recognition.

When is the current term of the I do not know off the top of my head the current term, but I can get that to you.

It'd be helpful because we keep saying we renegotiated let's consider that.

Yes, yes, sir.

But if I understand it, these agreements are 25, 30 years long terms typically.

I I can get you the exact term date.

Secondly, uh I know in certain instances, for example, if we block a streak off for pedestrian or a festival and then uses parking spaces, we the city a for eight hours of parking spot.

Does the city pay for anything similarly in this situation where the spaces are blocked by snow and they're not used by patrons?

No, sir.

The city does not pay if the parking spots are blocked by snow, no sir.

Thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Counselor Delaney, thank you, Mr.

Director.

Thank you, Madam President.

Jumping back to proposal number 31.

I would like to be added as a co-sponsor.

No, thank you.

Thank you.

Additional comments from counselors.

CNN will proceed to the board for our vote.

The proposal carries 24, 25 to zero.
