Fiscal Plan for the Annexation of 1.8 acres from the
Town of Clarksville into the City of Jeffersonville for
the purpose of unification of the campus of Serenity
House into one jurisdiction.
This fiscal plan is to show the lack of impact on the City of Jeffersonville or the
owners of the 1.8 acre tract by this annexation. The Indiana not for Profit
corporation, Serenity Inc. owns and operates ahalf--way house for adult men with
dependency issues and is a long standing service provider. The Serenity House does
not receive a tax levy and provides these services by donations, grants and in kind
assistance. The development of a new expanded campus incorporates a tract of land
between I-65, Stansifer Avenue, the Sodrel Trucking complex, and residential areas
of Jeffersonville. The municipal boundaries of Clarksville and Jeffersonville split
the campus area with the largest half being within the City of Jeffersonville.
Serenity Inc owns the entire tract. In an effort to simplify the issues of permitting,
and first responder issues, it was the consensus of the board of directors of Serenity
Inc and the planners of Clarksville and Jeffersonville that since both municipalities
were providing services that confusion would be eliminated by the entire campus
being located in one jurisdiction. Jeffersonville had the larger of the two halves of
the campus and was providing services to the majority of the site, therefore it was
designated as the appropriate venue.
1. The fiscal plan shows that Serenity Inc is a not for profit and does not pay taxes to
either municipality.
2. Jeffersonville currently provides police and fire services to the larger half of the
campus.
3. Jeffersonville currently provides Street and Road maintenance to the larger half of
the campus.
4. There is no need for additional staffing or expense from the City of Jeffersonville
since all services necessary for the additional 1.8 acre addition is currently being
provided.
5. Sewer services to the site are provided by both Jeffersonville and Clarksville and
no new sewers will be necessary.
6. That it is in the best interests of the owners as well as Clarksville and
Jeffersonville to know which municipality is the primary responder to any
emergency situation.
7. The City of Jeffersonville will incur no additional expense and will not need to
fund any extension of city services.
8. That the added 1.8 acre tract should be zoned as I-S, as institutional.
