We're going to go back.

I apologize, trying to move too fast.

Do I have uh consent for adoption of the agenda?

Thank you.

Thank you, madam counsel.

Now we're proceed to presentations at petitions, memorials, special resolutions and council resolutions.

Proposal number one forty-one, introduced by Councilor Roberts, Lewis, Barth, Evans, Maori, Allen, Ane, Bain, Boots, Brown, Cahill, Delaney, Dilk, Gibson, Graves, Hart, Jones, Mascary, McCormick, Nilsen, Osselee, Perkins, and Robinson.

So hello, everybody.

Uh, thank you all.

Uh, I wanted to write a special resolution here, along with bipartisan members of both parties, to really just uh make clear that the council stands against all political violence.

It is shocking how much I hear concern from our residents about everything going on, and there are really countless examples locally, on the state level, nationally of this happening to both parties.

So I really thought it was very important for people to see very visibly the members of this council were against all political violence and political rhetoric unequivocally.

So, with that being said, this is City County Council special resolution number nine, twenty twenty-six.

A special resolution condemning all forms of political violence and reaffirming the council's commitment to a safe, civil and peaceful democracy where violent rhetoric and acts are not tolerated.

Whereas in the last decade, citizens have witnessed an escalating pattern of politically motivated violence across the country, targeting leaders and public figures across the political spectrum, and whereas democracy depends upon the peaceful contest of ideas and is not well served by intimidation and acts of violence, but rather through debate, dialogue, respect, and civil discourse.

And whereas whereas acts of political violence and threats against elected officials and candidates and public figures undermine the safety of those who serve, the trust and governed and the integrity of the democratic institutions.

And whereas and whereas in October of 2025, the United States Conference of Mayors signed a declaration that the American experiment requires acceptance of pluralism.

There will always be others who hold it, who hold different views than you.

Compromise outcomes will reflect many views.

Your preferences will never be adopted exactly as you desired.

And persuasion, if you want maximum adoption of your views, you must convince people of their merit, which occurs via political arguments that change minds, not the threat of violence.

Whereas such violence or threats, whether carried out or attempted, strike at the heart of representative democracy, impede free speech, discourage civic engagement, and endanger the legitimacy and efficient functioning of government.

Such threats and acts of violence attack the life and liberty of our representatives as well as the right of the people to be represented.

Now, therefore, just be it resolved by the City County Council of the City of Indianapolis and of Marion County, Indiana, the Indianapolis, Marion County, City County Council condemns all forms of political violence of public officials, candidates, and public figures, regardless of political party or ideology.

Section two, the council further affirms that violence and threats have no place in the political arena, and that all political disputes must be resolved through lawful, peaceful, democratic means.

In response, the council reaffirms its commitment to ensuring the safety, dignity, and respect for all legislators, elected officials, and other public servants, and urges law enforcement authorities at all levels to thoroughly investigate, prosecute, and hold accountable those who commit or incite political violence.

In section four, the council calls on all public officials, community leaders, and media to reject rhetoric that dehumanizes or demonizes opponents to foster civil discourse and to commit to creating a safe, civil, respectful, and peaceful democracy where violent rhetoric and acts are not tolerated.

Section five, the Indianapolis, Marion County, City County Council, as a member of the National League of Cities, joins with other cities and towns in pledging to lead with civility, dignity, and respect in order to reduce polarization and create an environment that values shared goals, increased empathy, and genuine dialogue.

Section six.

Furthermore, this council body agrees with the United States Conference of Mayors that even in a pluralistic society, those things we have in common still far exceed those things that make us different.

We will seek ways to inject our shared humanity into debates, even when those debates are emotional, especially when those debates are emotional.

And civility matters because it is a reflection of our respect for our shared humanity.

We acknowledge that everyone participating in the American experiment is motivated by the same thing.

A better life for all of us.

Section seven.

The mayor was invited to join this resolution by fixing his signature here too, and he has done so.

Section eight.

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

And special is sponsored by basically everybody.

And now it's on move, Madam President.

The motion has been properly moved and second.

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

Aye.

Those opposed, same sign.

The motion carries back to the speaker.

Thank you.

And I just wanted to do this also tonight, given that tomorrow it was election day from 6 a.m.

to 6 p.m.

And I am seeing in the news that there are you know always worries of things happening at polling sites on election day.

So it's especially important right now for people to see there will be candidates we all want that will lose tomorrow, some that will win.

And you know, just lead with having the respect for our democracy and our neighbors because we may not always agree, but we have to coexist.

So I thank you all very much for joining.

Much appreciated.

Thank you.

Thank you, Counselors.

Thank you, Counselors.

The next item on our agenda.

The next item on our agenda is proposal number 142, introduced by Counselor Allen.

I'm not here.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

City uh Madam President, I'm so sorry.

Thank you, Madam Uh President Lewis.

City County special resolution number 10, 2026, a special resolution recognizing mental health awareness month, whereas mental health is essential to our overall health and well-being, impacting how individuals think, feel, and act, and contributing to the strength of our families, communities, and workforce, and whereas mental health conditions affect one in five adults nationally, including more than 1.2 million adults in Indiana and an estimated 160,000 residents in Marion County, reminding us that these experiences are common and that everyone deserves to feel seen, heard, and supported in facing these challenges and whereas.

Meaningful progress requires partnership, and our community is strengthened when residents, providers, mental health professionals, first responders, advocates, and community organizations work together to support mental wellness, promote understanding, and ensure individuals can access care when and where they need it.

And whereas May, the month of May, is recognized nationally as mental health awareness month, providing an opportunity to elevate awareness, encourage connection, and remind all residents that they are not alone.

Whereas the City of Indianapolis encourages all residents to care for the mental well-being, support one another, and continue building a community where seeking help is met with understanding, compassion, and respect now, therefore, be it resolved by the City County Council of the City of Indianapolis of Marion County, Indiana.

Section one.

Section two.

This resolution shall be in full force and effect upon adoption in compliance with IC 36-3-4-14.

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

Thank you so much, Counselor, for your leadership on this SR.

The next item on our agenda is proposal number 144.

Proposal 144 is a submission by Councillor Delaney required under IC 36-1-21-5.

This statute requires that a disclosure form be filed and accepted by the council at a public meeting prior to the city entering into or renewing a contract with a relative of the council of the counselor.

This proposal documents the submission by Councilor Delaney and the acceptance by the council and will be included in the journal for this meeting, and no further action is needed.

Proposal number one fifty-eight introduced by Councilor Jay Brown.

Thank you.

Madam President, uh, my co-author, Councillor Wells would also like to present this with me.

Please proceed.

Mr.

Vice President, members of the council.

Tonight Councilor Brown and I are presenting City County special resolution number 12.

This resolution establishes a statement of policy regarding the development of high impact data centers and urging the Metropolitan Development Commission to implement a temporary stay on approvals.

Whereas the City of Indianapolis is seeing unprecedented interest in the development of hyperscale data centers, which carry significant implement implications for the local electrical grid, water utility infrastructure, and residential quiet employment enjoyment and whereas and whereas the current revised code of the consolidated city and county does not sufficiently define or regulate the unique environmental and industrial impacts of these facilities, and whereas Marshall County, Indiana has issued a permanent ban on data centers, while 11 other Indiana counties have issued moratoriums on data center development, and whereas the Department of Metropolitan Development is currently in the process of drafting a new special use district SU 47 to provide this necessary oversight for such developments.

But whereas initial feedback from constituents, utility watchdog groups, environmental groups, and others have indicated intense criticism and disapproval of the standards detailed in this new special use district, which may necessitate amendments in further drafting.

And whereas the continued approval of data center projects under outdated industrial classification during this transition period risks creating vested rights for developments that may not meet future safety or sustainability standards.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the city county council of the City of Indianapolis of Marion County, Indiana.

Section one, the council hereby establishes a statement of policy that rapid unregulated expansion of data centers poses a potential risk to the public welfare and the long-term stability of Marion County's utility infrastructure.

Section two, the council formally urges the Metropolitan Development Commission or the MDC to exercise its authority to defer or stay the approval of any new rezoning petitions or improvement location permits for facilities meeting the definition of the data center until May 7th, 2027, or until such time as the SU 47 zoning amendment is fully adopted and codified.

Whichever comes first.

Section three, the council requests that the MDC provide a report within 30 days regarding the status of all pending data center applications and the estimated timeline for the implementation of enhanced regulatory standards.

Section four, the mayor is invited to join in this resolution by fixing his signature here too.

And section five, this resolution shall be in full force and effect from it after its adoption by the council in compliance with Indiana Code uh 36-3-4-14.

This special resolution was sponsored by Councillor Jay Brown and Councillor Wells and was passed by the City County Council this fourth day of May 2026.

And Madam President, we so move.

Second.

The motion properly moved in second.

Majority Leader Evans.

Thank you, Madam President.

The City County Council of Democratic Caucus reiterates its support for proposal 158.

A special resolution urging the Metropolitan Development Commission to limit data center approvals and take the necessary time to develop appropriate zoning regulations for high impact developments.

It is important to note though that proposal 158 is a special resolution, not an ordinance, and does not carry the force of law under the Indiana law, not Indianapolis City Council law, only the Metropolitan Development Commission has the authority to initiate changes to zoning policies that could limit or regulate these types of developments.

Thank you, Madam President.

Thank you, Majority Leader, Councilor Hart.

Thank you, Madam Chair.

And I just want to take an opportunity to make sure at least that you know the media, I got a few words for them when they're listening in the people in audience and the people on TV because I was asked about this proposal the other day.

Um and I believe what's happening today is completely misleading to the public in general.

Right.

I've already seen news articles on TV, I've seen posts on social media that the public thinks we're we're putting a moratorium on data centers right now with this vote, and we're not.

And I want that to be very clear that this is a special resolution, and if you watch the previous resolutions that happened before us, we condemned violence, of which the authors were not a part of that.

We recognized mental health, we recognized the Hope Academy.

Special resolutions are generally reserved for honoring those positive things that we see in the community, these sports neighborhoods.

There are ways to go about doing what we're trying to do.

Prime example, I just did it last year with AES and rate hikes.

You can do a general resolution, you could do an ordinance.

But what you're doing, what's happening, Madam President, was happening audience, is political theater.

It's trying to route get people all riled up to think that we're actually doing a moratorium and we are not.

So I don't want people to be misled tonight.

And I want to make sure that is very clear this evening, Madam President.

Thank you very much.

Thank you, Councilor Hart.

So again, the motion properly moved in second.

All those in favor signify by saying aye.

Rezonings that were certified to the council for the approval by the Metropolitan Development Commission.

If no district counselor wishes to call down any of these proposals for hearing, they were passed into law.

Counselor Brown.

Thank you, Madam President.

Indiana Code 36-7-4-608C reads in part.

The legislative body may, by a majority of those voting, schedule the proposal for a hearing on a date not later than its next regular meeting.

The legislative body member in whose district the parcel of real property under consideration is located, may submit a request to the president of the legislative body that the proposal be considered under this subsection.

The plain text of this language indicates that although the district counselor may make that request, this is not specified as a requirement.

Therefore, I move to call the MTZ approval of both 2025-ZON 124 and 2025-VAR012 down for a public hearing.

My constituents have been adamant in requesting a public hearing on this matter.

All of us are aggrieved parties, whether or not this body has adopted the special zoning rules under ADNA Code.

Thank you.

Madam Parliamentarian.

Madam Chair, uh the motion is out of order because it's in conflict with the state law.

That is not a proper interpretation of the state law.

The chair has been advised that the motion is out of order because it conflicts with state law.

Robert rules of order, a motion that is contrary to state law cannot be considered.

Therefore, the motion is ruled out of order.

Proposal number 159 is a rezoning that was certified to the council for approval by the Metropolitan Development Commission.

If no counselor wishes to call down this proposal down for a public hearing, it will pass into law.

Councilor Evans.

Thank you, Madam President.

And that the clerk read the announcement of such hearing and enter the same in the minutes of this meeting.

Madam President on 415 2026, Chief Terry did come and speak before the committee and share her thoughts on why we want this to extend.

And she's here, and I would uh ask that this passed today.

The motion has been properly moved and seconded.

Comments from counselors.

Okay.

I'm sorry.

Mr.

Chairman, did you want the chief to come to the first time?

So yes, the Chief Terry, she's present.

She spoke to us eloquently about the need for IMPD as using this as a tool.

Okay.

Uh for the men and women of IMPD, so she's here.

She can speak more to the proposal.

Thank you.

Chief.

Good evening.

Good evening, Madam President.

Yeah, I did go into uh quite a bit of detail in front of the public safety committee uh regarding what we've been seeing and and how we got here.

Uh obviously uh what uh got us talking about this last summer was the tragic incident that we had uh the night of July 4th in downtown Indianapolis in which we lost a 15-year-old and a 16-year-old at 1 30 in the morning, and five additional people were injured by gunfire, including two juveniles and three adults.

Um that prompted us to as a city uh adopt an emergency uh curfew, public safety curfew last year, and uh we have seen some concerning trends uh since then involving youth violence, and uh certainly my position from a public safety standpoint is this is just uh like councilor Robinson Robinson said, one tool among uh many different strategies that as a city I think that we should come together and adopt.

Uh some of the statistical information that I shared with the committee that gives me concern is the increase now.

While the city on as a whole is seeing a decrease in uh gun violence uh year to date, we're down over 20 percent of homicide victims, and over 16 percent of uh non-fatal shooting incidents.

However, uh the thing that was catching my attention is the percentage of overall victims that are juveniles in both homicides and non-fatal shootings.

So, as it relates to homicides, uh what I reported to the committee is that we're seeing a over three percent increase of the percentage of our victims that are juveniles from this year to last year, and um over a four percent increase of non fatal shooting victims that are juveniles, and then several concerning events uh this year uh that I highlighted uh to the committee, uh including um just three weeks ago, a little over three weeks ago.

Uh, we had a 13-year-old uh that was out at 1 30 in the morning uh as a passenger in a vehicle uh that was participating in uh street takeover activity, was accompanied with a 20-year-old uh that had a uh handgun with a machine gun conversion device on it and an extended magazine, and the 13-year-old was armed with an AR-style pistol.

Uh that was at 1 30 in the morning after curfew.

Uh we also have made several arrests involving um juveniles this year in February.

We arrested a 17-year-old and a second teenager for uh murder of a victim uh in the 38th and Illinois area.

Also in February, we arrested a 16-year-old for a murder that occurred uh last November in the 38th and Meridian area.

There was another arrest of a 16-year-old and a 17-year-old for a fatal shooting of a 17-year-old and a non-fatal shooting of another 17-year-old that we made also in February.

Also in February, it must have a really bad month this year.

Occupants in that vehicle were suspects in another homicide.

Some of the other concerning trends that we've seen on a national scale are related to social media and teen takeovers, so to speak.

Now, I did mention to the council or the committee that we did have an advertisement locally for a teen takeover at the Castleton Square Mall that was supposed to be at the end of March.

However, we did put a public safety plan together, and the mall also provided additional staffing, and nothing came of that event, but it was an advertised event.

What we have seen across the country with these incidents that developed very quickly and without notice in most cases is just a lot of young people that are unsupervised and engaging in risky behavior, dangerous and criminal behavior, including fights, property damage, gun violence, and sometimes death.

Other examples include in Los Angeles, more than a hundred people took over an intersection, uh vandalized city bus and set off fireworks.

Uh in which residents' vehicles have been damaged with teenagers jumping and running on top of them.

Um over 30 cars were damaged in the neighborhood there.

In Detroit has seen it, and the DC area, Navy Yard has seen it on multiple occasions.

Typically, when we see trends like that, um Indianapolis is not immune to that.

Social media and those types of trends with uh the age of technology, that that kind of thing travels very quickly, and those trends uh tend to hit us eventually.

Uh so again, I would just propose that curfew is one tool, it is not the answer, it is not the end all be all.

Uh but our goal is to keep our kids safe and to keep them out of situations in which uh they're subjected to dangerous behavior or victimized by dangerous behavior uh late at night.

Uh adjusting the curfew to me encourages more uh parental and uh parent and guardian involvement in our kids' activities and what they have going on, uh, where they are, who they're with, and uh engaging the family uh to keep tabs on on that type of activity instead of having unsupervised kids out late at night uh doing who who knows what.

We've also uh teamed up with multiple community partners.

When we think that we might have unsupervised teenagers, uh we've stood up what's we're calling a connection center in which uh we can bring kids that are engaged in behavior that draws our attention that might be unsafe.

Uh maybe they're out after curfew, and we can take them to a safe location and get them connected with resources for them and their entire family.

Uh so that's that's the the piece that I think is really critical in all this is that our goal is not punishment, it's it's really prevention and partnerships.

And uh this is just one tool of many that I think uh not just IMPD but other city agencies and other community-based organizations need to step up and come to the table uh to keep our kids safe.

Thank you.

Chairman Robinson.

One quick follow-up, Madam President.

Chief, thank you, chief.

So again, you spoke to a lot of different uh violent episodes that occurred locally across the country.

But but can you just reiterate the fact of this curfew extension?

Uh that's the majority of kids that are out there, and the idea was to connect them with the connection centers and the mentors is the priority, not to arrest them.

Could you speak to that, please?

Yes, that is correct.

The uh the goal of curfew is really not a curfew enforcement.

My hope is honestly that uh we will implement this curfew, and parents will take heed, and this will be a deterrent.

Uh, but if if kids are out uh past curfew, arrest is really our last option that we want to use.

We really want to connect kids with resources and get to the root cause of why are they out without supervision, why are they engaged in risky behavior and see if we can change the trajectory that they're on.

Um thank you, uh Chief Terry.

Um I'm all for I don't want to use the word reducing, but curving gun violence, and I do want to see our youth um and everyone across the country here, even in the city of Indianapolis live.

I want us to be, I've been a very I'm an advocate for gun violence to make sure that we have a safe city, right?

Um and so I was opposed for the I was opposed to the um curfew hours from 120 days and wanted to do it 60 days because I understand we're doing a proactive approach.

Um my understanding of it is I have always had youth at the table, um, especially with Brandon Rando, um, and I've cut you know been at the table with the children's policy and law initiative of Indiana.

And one of the things um that I've heard even from one of the students, I mean one of the uh young ladies that was presenting, um guns are accessible right now, and when we decided to I ain't gonna say we, but when the state decided to do the permanent law, that put guns in everybody's hands to me, and that that hurt it our community, and as that young lady, and I can see her face when she was presenting.

She said, if I want a gun right now, and I can go get one less than 30 minutes.

That is real.

I've been at many funerals where I've had to speak, I've held the hands of a mother and father.

So I do believe accountability needs to be heard, but our children want to be heard at the same time too.

So when we come up with these laws and these ordinance, I think they should have been at the table.

And granted, I know everybody said we're getting ready to be on budget season, we can add it into our budget to give them something to do.

We was at the same, we was at this same stage last summer.

We did not do, we did not have that conversation.

So I urge my colleagues as we begin to vote, and I want to be clear.

I'm I want to protect everybody.

I I really, really do.

I do care about my community.

I'm a mother.

I'm gonna say I'm I have little people in my next generation.

I have cousins, I have nieces and nephews, um, and I have family of friends.

Like I've been impacted personally by this.

And so as we do this, I urge my colleagues to please um let's have a conversation with the youth and see what this looks like.

And again, I'm all for accountability, but we do need to speak to our youth as well.

If we want to tackle gun violence, we do have to address from a state level, to be honest with you.

Thank you, madam president.

Thank you, Council Allen.

Mr.

Vice President.

Thank you, Madam President.

Just um re restating something I think the chief said and and Chairman Robinson um emphasized, and that's that the intent here is prevention and connecting youth with their parents or guardians to make sure that they are supervised and connected to family and not out uh in the community when they shouldn't be.

This is especially selling to me.

The chief referenced uh uh incident in 38th in Illinois, which is I think that was adjacent to my district this weekend, uh not directly analogous to to the situations we're talking about, but multiple people were shot in in my council district, including someone killed uh by youth who had access to guns.

Um in addition, there was a situation I had to deal with for that took quite a long time to manage where youth were around tarking the park and making the the park dangerous um because of the gun activity.

But the ultimately the curfew played a role in ensuring that those kids got connected back to family and guardians and the prevention aspect really took effect.

So I think really emphasizing that the IMPD here is oriented towards connecting youth to family, making sure the guardians and other responsible adults are involved, and I think that's probably the the cornerstone and the most important part.

So thank you.

Thank you, Mr.

Vice President.

Counselor Bain, then Chairman Boots.

Thank you, Madam President.

I just want to applaud Chief Terry for bringing this proposal forward.

I think it's a very pragmatic approach to what we're doing here.

I know there's a lot of conversations about are we being proactive or we being reactive.

I just think we're being pragmatic when it comes to protecting the youth, because at the end of the day, it's about protecting youth and protecting people around youth who are not um who are probably out too late and shouldn't be uh doing whatever it is that they're doing.

So really appreciate your leadership on this, bringing this to the council.

Look forward to supporting it tonight.

Thank you.

Thank you, Councillor Chairman Boots.

Thank you, Madam President.

And thank you, Chief Terry, for presenting this evening.

Just to clarify a couple questions to address issues we've been hearing, and some of our counselors have been contacted about.

Um if a youth is picked up, they will not receive any type of criminal record in the system as a result of that.

Well it's a that's a status offense, and uh those don't follow anybody uh beyond when they turn 18.

It's it's a status offense, it's not even a criminal charge.

So they're not arrested, correct?

Well, they could they could be taken to to juvenile.

They could be.

Uh I can tell you that we haven't done that.

Uh really, I don't think we've done it at all since last July.

But that's not the goal of this program.

It's not the goal.

The goal is to get to the root of why the kids are out without supervision, without parental involvement.

And in one case involving the connection center, I would like to highlight.

Uh we actually intervened in uh some young young ladies who are with an adult.

The adult was giving them alcohol, and our um analysts in the real-time crime center observed what was happening, called it out to the officers, officers were able to enter intervene.

We brought them to the connection center, got their parents involved, and uh the kids were actually somewhere where their parents didn't think they were.

Uh so they that fan those families were connected to resources.

But yes, that's that's the goal of what we're we're looking to do.

Um prevention, uh if it's some if it's a curfew status offense today, maybe it prevents, maybe there's an intervention that prevents that conduct from escalating into something even more dangerous, or maybe it gets a kid out of a situation in which somebody else is doing violence and they're a random victim.

They don't need to be there.

Yes.

And I just want to encourage my fellow colleagues here to appreciate that um again, no one's being sent to jail.

This is not the final solution and answer to what we're addressing.

This is just one tool that that the IMPD has asked for, and I think it behooves us to grant them this one tool.

Um we have historically tried to address the systemic causes of crime, and I think this is one step in that direction.

And in association with the OPHS and those programs, I think this complements that quite nicely.

And I do like the preventive approach to this versus the punitive.

So I would encourage all fellow counselors to approve this proposal.

Thank you, Mr.

Chairman.

Counselor Hart, then Counselor Graves.

Thank you, Madam President.

Uh, and uh you know, I I've heard a couple counselors bring up the word parent a few times.

I I think even you know, Chief, you you brought up the word parent, and what sticks out to me is last year we were in the same position.

We brought up the same um ordinance uh special ordinance, and we actually have a tabled ordinance for pronoun accountability on curfew, just as a reminder to everybody.

Um, you know, I do agree that this doesn't stop here.

There are more things we can do, both programmatically, but also while we are connecting parents of children at the center, if that's where it ultimately happens.

Uh but we have an opportunity, I think, and I think it's I know it's on the on our agenda at any time that anybody, this body wants to follow through and and join in.

Um happy to make the motion and bring it back up.

So if you guys want to have that conversation, I encourage you to have it with me uh going forward.

Thank you, Madam President.

Thank you, Chief Terry, for the presentation and for the the real clear images of what's happening across the city and across the country.

Um Chief, I I just want to ask if you um could perhaps talk about uh those crimes that you mentioned that are actually happening happening after the proposed hours.

You mentioned so much that's going on.

You didn't you didn't differentiate it if it's before the curfew hours or after.

Uh and I'm just curious to know if you have data that would even heighten the need for this because those crimes happen after the proposed hours.

Yeah, I would say uh admittedly the majority of those crimes are not during curfew hours, but um we've had one out of three homicides involving uh juvenile victims this year that have been during curfew hours.

That's one.

Uh and I think um that's somebody that lost their life that was out past curfew.

I think that one was at uh 1 30 in the morning, if I recall.

Um maybe it would have made a difference.

Maybe not, I don't know.

Uh as far as the uh non-fatal shootings, uh, and these these are uh not to today's numbers.

Um but we had four uh that were out of past curfew for non-fatal shooting victims, and uh I that doesn't count what what happened this weekend uh on the north side of town after uh you know an after after party in which other people were injured by gunfire, young people.

Um that get I hope that helps give you some idea um of I think that every one of them matters, and um well I I would admit that the majority are not during her few hours, but everyone counts.

Thank you.

Thank you, Madam President.

Uh Counselor Jay Brown, then Council then Chairwoman McCormick.

Thank you, Madam President.

Thank you, Chief Terry, for sharing um all the stories.

I think all of us should be horrified, and I think all of us are horrified hearing about that.

Um youth behaving extremely dangerously, people losing their lives in ways that none of us want to see.

Um, it just strikes me that that that's not naturally how young people behave.

And I think uh you know, I want to give um my commendations to Chairman Perkins of the education committee last month.

If anyone in the audience has not watched that committee meeting, it was maybe my favorite committee meeting I've had on the council.

Um we had multiple different uh professionals who work with youth talking about how to help their mental health, how to help them uh avoid violence and and you know have different paths in front of them.

So so we know what policies we need, and I want to commend Counselor Allen for just excellent comments.

I want to co-sign and ditto everything you said, and specifically the part where granted the state put us into a very difficult position when it came to the budget, and we knew that last year, but you know, um, we heard that the IMPD is stuck doing a lot of overtime work while the CIB still has a contract from 2012 that hasn't adjusted as officer salaries have gone up, so we're ending up subsidizing billionaire sports team owners and then don't have the money for this type of programming that we know is the actual solution here.

And so you know, these are all political decisions, and you know, earlier someone brought up political theater.

I you know, I I'm not accusing you of that, uh Chief Terry, and I know your officers work hard and are in a dangerous position.

I do understand that and believe it.

I don't think that this curfew sets the right message to our constituents, though.

I believe you're coming in good faith, and I appreciate it.

But when you know uh youth leaders, when when Brandon Randall, when uh you know the Children's Policy and Law Initiative of Indiana, the counselor Allen mentioned, are all reaching out expressing strong disapproval or asking us to please just center the voices of our youth.

Um, I'm just gonna have to uh honor their call, honor the call of the Black Church Coalition who is here tonight as well, and I would encourage my fellow counselors to vote no.

Thank you.

Majority leader then, Counselor Perkins.

Thank you, Madam President.

Uh Chief, thank you for the presentation, the commentary, and Chairman Robinson.

Uh my comment is is more directed to my colleagues.

Uh much of what Councillor Allen has said earlier.

Uh when I hear the word intervention, I I almost scoff at it because I think our youth don't need intervention, they need something to do.

And it's time that we put our money where our mouths are at.

If we can support economic development deals all over this county, it's time to start supporting youth focused family-oriented businesses.

And if we don't have the means to do it today because of whatever avenue, then we figure it out.

If we've got to work with the state, then we get over there and we start advocating for what we need because it is frustrating to be right back here.

And I understand this is a tool, and I'm all for having all the tools, but the fact that there is a need is what bothers me, and an entire year has gone around, and we have not attempted to even move the needle on this issue.

And I'm no offense to uh churches and all that stuff.

Uh I I support all the the youth-oriented and focused camps and things they do.

The bottom line is what is there for a kid, a youth kid could do, and they don't necessarily want to go to church camp or have the Friday night movie over there or whatever the case.

So no offense, Councilor Perkins.

Um they want to hang out with their friends and they want to socialize, and they gotta have avenues to do it, and we're not producing the results for that.

Thank you.

Preacher, Pastor Perkins.

Uh thank you, Madam President.

Um, at a risk of being repetitive to my colleagues.

Um, one, we honor the work that churches have continued to do.

Um, when government failed, churches have always stood in the gap to provide uh services to our families.

Um I will uh will share.

Uh thank you, uh Councillor Brown.

Uh last month through an education uh committee meeting.

We invited uh not only individuals that are on the ground doing the work, uh, but folks that are in uh the academic space that are doing the research, but we also invited the young people to be at the table, and we heard clearly during that committee meeting what they believe will be not only intervention but services to help them.

There are very few things that we bring to a full council meeting and engage in this level of conversation.

Usually it happens in commit uh committee, and we come to the full council and we call for a vote and we pass it or we deny it.

This clearly is an important issue for community.

And while I honor uh the chief is asking for another tool in the toolkit, I want to encourage my colleagues that during our spring fiscal and doing a budget season that the same level of passion and commitment that we're equipping and offering IMPD a tool that we are also offering service agencies that are servicing our community at the grassroots level.

We oftentimes back away from these difficult conversations and find a number of excuses why we can't do it.

The same level of passion that we're now empowering our chief and our police department to go out and implement this particular ordinance.

I am encouraging us to make sure that we bring that same passion when we're talking about where we are putting our money as it relates to our young people.

Thank you, Madam President.

Thank you.

The motion has been properly moved and second.

We'll now proceed to the board for our vote.

The proposal carries 21 to 2.

Young people deserve to be at this table.

The next item on our agenda.

The next item on our agenda is proposal number 100, refer to public works committee, chairwoman Jones.

Thank you, Madam President.

With consent, I would like to take proposal number 100 and 101 2026 together.

Thank you.

Proposal number 101 2026 establishes the interest in the purchase of the specified land owned by SCP 2006-C23-053 LLC, a CVS, a corporation subsidiary for the construction and maintenance of the Department of Public Works Project Number ST-30-054, the Washington Street Reconstruction Project.

Councilor Boots move, seconded by Councilor McCormick to send proposal numbers 100 and 101 2026 to the full council with the due pass recommendation.
