Washington Township Council District 7.

2026 ZON 036 at 1010.

Dr.

Martin Luther King Junior Street, Senator Township, Council District 12.

And we also have one petition of no petition of no appeal recommended for denial, which is 2026 ZON 034 at 5400 South Meridian Street, Perry Township Council District 22.

Thank you, Nancy.

I understand there's a member from the budget agency here who would come up and talk to us about 2026 E003 on the TIFF allocation.

Please introduce yourself and explanation of the petition of no appeal, please.

Yes, I have to do good afternoon.

Uh good afternoon, commissioners.

Um I'm budget manager Jenny Carter.

I'm with the Office of Finance and Management.

Um per state statute, the MDC must declare the amount of excess of assessed value for the next fiscal year for all TIFF areas by June 15th.

The resolution before you fulfills that requirement and states that there is no XSAB to pass to the base and provides the city controller as the treasurer of the MDC the ability to modify this original determination.

Any AV that is released to the base provides additional property tax dollars to other units of government.

The final amounts of XSAV will be determined in July to coincide with the development of the city's 2027 budget.

The final determinations are made by August 1st, and traditionally OFM has come back to the commission to present that information before the end of the year.

The resolution and process are structured this way because the assessor is not is not required to certify the assessed value until June 30th.

So there's not sufficient information to make a more informed decision by the statutory deadline.

When determining the pass through, we consider changes to assessed value, ensuring there will be sufficient revenues to cover annual debt obligations, planned economic development initiatives, and any revenue impacts to the budgets of other taxing units, including the city's budget.

Thank you.

Questions for Jenny?

And please give us uh an explanation.

I think we all know this.

But the discussion today is to assist in the development of the budget, which is coming up between the mayor's office and city council.

Correct?

Correct.

And at this point in time, we do not have certified AVs to be able to make a pass-through determination.

We understand, but you'll have that by the time the budget comes up.

Correct.

And then at the end of the year, we have a TIFF presentation for an annual review that we have to do by state statute.

That's correct.

All right.

I just want to make sure it's clear for the record.

So we have before us 2026 E003.

Are there any questions on that matter?

For the budget office while they're here.

Seeing none, I'd like to take.

Commissioner Morerity, can I get a motion to approve?

So moved.

Thank you.

Commissioner West, can I get a second?

Second.

Thank you.

Let me call the roll.

Hergett.

Hergut, yes.

Lyle.

Lyle, yes, but can you show me recused on 2026 ZON 036?

2026 ZON.

036.

036.

Nancy, we need to show Commissioner Lyle recused on that matter.

Yes, sir.

Thank you.

Morerity.

More idea is a yes.

Robinson.

Robinson, yes.

Schumacher.

Schumacher, yes.

West.

West, yes.

Dylan is a yes.

We have seven votes to zero for all of the no appeals in the one resolution.

And we have Commissioner Lyle recusing on 2026 ZON 036.

And it passes 6 to 0 to 1 recusal.

We now have before us one petition of no appeal that is for denial.

Nancy has read that into the record.

And I'm going to ask staff to comment on that.

Bryce, is that you?

Uh yes, it is.

Uh thank you, President Dillon.

Members of the Commission.

Yes, before you we have 2026 ZON 034.

Or Michael Wegle, maybe.

Is he gonna talk on this?

Uh it looks like he's not present today.

Great.

Let's go.

2026 ZON 034.

Um so this uh petition is located at 5400 South Meridian Street.

Um, this will be for a rezoning uh property from C3 to C4 to provide commercial uses.

The intent was to provide auto repair.

Uh staff's recommendation was denial of the petition based off the comp plan uh that it was inappropriate to go to that scale level.

Uh Madam here examiner uh uh agreed with staff's uh position and recommended denial.

Um, there was no appeal this petition, um, and so before you today it's uh recommended denial, uh no commitments, and it's ready to move forward uh with your approval.

Questions for staff on the request for denial?

Hearing none, we have before us 2026 ZON 034.

Commissioner Hergett, can I get a motion to deny the petition of no appeal?

So moved.

Thank you.

Commissioner Robinson, can I get a second second?

Second.

Thank you.

We have an assessment of benefits hearing for a vacation petition approved by the Metropolitan Development Commission.

It is for 2026 CVC 0803 amended at 1437 through 1533 odd Salcy Street, 1422 through 1528, even on Astor Street and 219 Coney Street, Center Township, Council District 18.

The property is zone D8RC.

The vacations that we had already considered and approved were for vacation of the east first east west alley south of Saucy Street, ranging from eight feet to 12 feet in width from the east right-of-way line of Kenny Street being the southeast corner of lot 51 of Minkers Wilmoth Place Section 3 as recorded in Platbook 12, page 157 in the office of the recorder of Marion County, Indiana.

And also vacating the second north-south alley west of White River Parkway, West Drive, being 14 feet wide, 220 feet south to the north, right-of-way line of Aster Street.

Well, all those intending to testify on this assessment of benefits hearing, please stand now to be identified.

Thank you.

Do you swear a firm under the penalties of perjury to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?

Say I do.

I do.

Thank you.

Are there any remonstrators here?

Do you plan on testifying?

No.

Thank you very much.

Let me walk through the rules of engagement.

Counselor will give you 15 minutes to introduce your petition.

Obviously, this is a hearing on the final assessment role.

I will then once again ask if any remonstrators want to comment.

It doesn't look like they do.

I'll go to staff.

I'll come back for you for rebuttal, and then we will vote on it.

There aren't, I don't see any city councilmen here.

So we'll just go forward.

You're on the clock.

Go sure.

Thank you, Mr.

President.

Commissioners meet sure in which offices at 1 Indiana Square Suite 1800.

As was stated that at your last meeting, you approved the uh variances and the vacation of the three alleyways to permit this project to move forward.

We're here solely on the issue of the assessment of benefits, which is the amount that by statute the petitioner must pay to acquire title to the land.

The petitioner has submitted to DMD uh staff the appraisal which appraised the um land to be acquired at $3,058 dollars, which the petitioner will pay to the city uh if approved, and then the other requirement is payment of the appraiser's fee, which has already been paid.

So with that, um I brought copies of the appraisal if you want to review it, but with that I'm happy to answer any questions.

Questions for a petitioner.

Seeing none remonstrators, you still don't want to comment.

No, you can come up, introduce yourself, be sworn in, and then make a comment.

Nancy, would you please swear in?

Name and address, please.

Yes, Cynthia Delahay, 1444 Salcy Street.

I have to just one second, I had to swear you in.

I was right.

And would you please fill out a speaking slip before you leave?

Not now, but just right now afterwards if you would.

Thank you.

Could you raise your right hand, please?

Do you swear, firm of the penalties of perjury to tell the truth and nothing but the truth?

I do.

Thank you.

Okay.

Thank you, Cynthia.

Go ahead and make a comment.

I don't really know where to start.

I had a memo from Jesse Baum.

She is the president of the Stringtown Now Association.

And she said she saw the price that they were going to pay for the alleys.

It was ridiculously small.

It's like the city is bending over backward to encourage this humongous project right in the middle of our little neighborhood with our little streets.

It's my house will look directly up at this monstrosity.

The only thing we have going for ourselves is that we're a neighborhood downtown and we have beautiful views of the river.

Really awesome views, no more.

I mean, it's a huge thing, a big ugly thing right in the middle of the neighborhood.

So I mean tiny prices for our alleys, um, tax breaks, galore.

I mean, I understand that people need a place to live, but over by Elanco, White River Park just bailed out.

There's acres and acres and acres of land.

Michigan Street, West Michigan Street, acres of land.

Why right in the middle of our neighborhood?

I don't get it.

I mean, the price should be fifty thousand dollars if you ask me for these alleys.

I mean, what how is the city benefiting?

You're giving them everything.

Everything, you know, make them make them produce.

These are wealthy people, many multiple projects full of crime.

We don't want it.

So just thank you, Cynthia, for your comments.

Staff.

Uh thank you, President Dillon.

Members of the commission.

Staff has reviewed the appraisal that was submitted to our office and finds that it is appropriate and is recommending approval of the assessment of the final assessment role related to this vacation.

We'll be glad to answer any questions.

Questions for staff.

Thank you.

Petitionary rebuttal.

Uh we certainly respect the opinion of the neighbors, but again, we're only here on the assessment of benefits.

So we understand that, Council.

Thank you.

All right.

Cynthia, thank you for being here.

We have before us 2026 CVC 803 as amended.

I will make the motion that the Metropolitan Development Commission sustain, confirm, approve, and adopt the final assessment roll in 2026, CBC 803, assessing benefits therewith in the amount of $3,058, and that the petitioner pay the appraisal fee of $1,750.

Commissioners, please cast your ballots.

The assessment of benefits for twenty twenty six CBC eight zero three amended.

There were seven ballots to cast, six yes votes, one no vote.

The assessment of benefits has been approved.

Thank you, Madam Secretary.

That concludes our meeting.

Can I get a motion to dismiss?

So moved.

We are now dismissed.

Enjoy the beautiful day.
