Les Merkley 2024-OR-58 Ordinance Fixing the Salaries of Appointed Officers and Employees for all the Departments of the City of Jeffersonville Mrs. Metcalf advised this was for next year's salary ordinance and there were no changes from the last meeting.

NEW BUSINESS: 1. Public Comment: Council President White stated there were two people signed up under Public Comment, one for the Tree Board and one for the Short Term Rentals. Both individuals advised they would like to speak during the discussion of the agenda item they signed up for. 2. Chad Reischl 2024-OR-61 Text Amendment to the Unified Development Ordinance(UDO)to Add Article 8.10(Short-Term Rentals) Planning and Zoning Director Chad Reishl went over the requested changes to the Unified Development Ordinance adding Article 8.10(Short-Term Rentals) (see attached presentation). Mr. Reischl advised this came with no recommendation from the Plan Commission. Councilperson Reed thanked Mr. Reischl. During the discussion at the Planning Commission Meeting there were concerns expressed about the ability to follow up which is why this came to the Council with no recommendation. Councilperson Burns said he was unsure how this amendment would help anything. He was one of the people who requested this be drafted however he is now concerned this will just burden the staff. Councilperson Webb asked how this would be noticed if it was passed and what the penalty would be if they owners did not comply. Mr. Reischl said this would be noticed in the News and Tribune as well as put out on the departments social media platforms and if owners do not comply they department will follow the code and issue a letter to the owners. Mr. Reischl advised in his research he was told they could expect 20-30%of the people this applies to to comply. Council Attorney Wilder said the presumption is that everyone is to know the law and the department would not need to notice for this change any differently than they do for any other amendment. Council Vice President Hawkins asked what happened if people don't comply and Mr. Reischl said a letter would be sent and if they still didn't comply then a fine would be assigned. Councilperson Stoner reminded everyone that the State has made restrictions on what local municipalities are able to enforce and encouraged everyone to contact their local legislators regarding these issues. Further Council discussion expressed the need to start somewhere on this matter and agreeing this may need to be tweaked in the future as they encounter different issues. Council President White asked Mrs. Feldman if she would like to speak as she was signed up under Public Comment for this item. Pauletta Feldman thanked the City Council and Mr. Reischl,this ordinance was everything they wanted. They understood that the State had put extreme limitations on our community but she does think this is a start and she hopes they all will support this and approve it. Councilperson Semones thanked Ms. Feldman for coming back and she is glad that she is happy with the outcome. Council Vice President Hawkins discussed his concerns with expecting the short term tenants to behave differently now that the property owners are on a registry. Mr. Reischl advised he felt is was less about the tenants and more about having contacts and information for the owners so if those problems do arise they can have those conversations with the property owners. Councilperson Webb made a motion approve Ordinance 2024-OR-62 on the first and second reading, seconded by Councilperson Stoner; Councilperson Stoner requested a roll call vote: Councilperson Burns—No Councilperson Semones—Yes Councilperson Anderson—Yes Councilperson Reed—Yes Council President White—Yes Councilperson Webb—Yes Council Vice President Hawkins—Yes Councilperson Snelling—Yes Councilperson Stoner—Yes; motion passed, 8-1. 3. isi John Launius&Melissa Sprigler with Annual Update Councilperson Reed said she was excited to have John and Melissa here with and update. John Launius provided a presentation for the Council and went over the information (see attached). Mr. Launius requested the City's continued support 1SI's service. Councilperson Reed thanked 1SI for all they do for the community. Councilperson Reed spoke with Mrs. Metcalf prior to the meeting and there was a$30,000 appropriation approved last month and all that needs to be done is an invoice submitted to the Clerk's office. Council President White thanked 1SI for coming. The work they do in the community is invaluable and he loves that they are more regional now. 4. Amy Semones/Jeff Cover 2024-OR-63 Ordinance Authorizing the Establishment of a Tree Board Councilperson Semones introduced the Ordinance and explained it would establish a tree board which is needed by some of the citizens so they can further their efforts to obtain grant funding through the Arbor Day Foundation and for Jeffersonville to become a 'tree city' and further the green canopy with the City. The board members would have to apply to be on the board and it would be an unpaid position at this time so no additional funds are being requested. Councilperson Semones introduced Jeff Coover who was present to speak on the importance of the project. Jeff Cover—Mr. Cover advised he is a resident of Jeffersonville and there are several other people here in support of this ordinance. Mr. Cover went over the economic benefits of trees and the impact they have on reducing temperature, improving energy efficiency,and absorbing rain water so that it does not overload the storm water infrastructure. Council Youth Advocate Heaven Williams said she could share the information with her school to help get students and children involved in volunteering for projects. Councilperson Semones made a motion approve Ordinance 2024-OR-63 on the first and second reading, seconded by Councilperson Reed; motion passed, 9-0. 5. Chief Kavanaugh JPD Interlocal Agreement for the Edward Byrne Memorial JAG Grant Officer Lydon explained this is for an interlocal agreement between JPD and the County and is a requirement for them to be approved for the JAG Grant. They have already been allocated funds and are eligible because they report violent crime statistics to the BJA and are the only agency in the County who have reported it. This is part of the requirements of the application.The 2024 number for Jeffersonville is$11,941 and from his understanding it will be used to do some updates to the agency's property room. Councilperson Stoner made a motion approve Resolution 2024-R-14,seconded by Councilperson Burns; motion passed,9-0. 6. Larry Wilder 2024-OR-64 Ordinance Establishing a Juneteenth Non-Reverting Fund Council Attorney Wilder advised he was requested by Council President White to prepare a non- reverting fund ordinance. Council President White said they get sponsorship money and it currently goes into the general fund and is not specifically dedicated for Juneteenth. By passing this the money that came in for Juneteenth would stay with the event. Councilperson Reed said she is concerned this would be micromanaging the City managers and what they can do with their own funding. Mr.Wilder advised this would just be a place for money to be receipted into that is donated for this event. Non-reverting funds have been created in the past;examples are the Spring Street Fund, and Save the Fieldhouse. Doing this does not give them any money it just makes a place to put the money that is received specifically for this kind of thing. Councilperson Stoner said when he discussed doing a non-reverting fund for the unhoused and was told they did not need to create another fund because they could just put it in the donation fund and would still be earmarked for the homelessness. Council President White said this provides a mechanism to accumulate money for the purpose of paying for Juneteenth. If you don't want to do this then vote no. Councilperson Snelling made a motion approve Ordinance 2024-OR-64 on the first and second reading,seconded by Councilperson Semones; Council President White requested a roll call vote: Councilperson Burns—No Councilperson Semones—Yes Councilperson Anderson—No Councilperson Reed—No based on constituent and department feedback Council President White—Yes Councilperson Webb-No Council Vice President Hawkins—No Councilperson Snelling—Yes Councilperson Stoner—No; motion failed, 3-6. 7. Heather Metcalf 2024-OR-65 Ordinance of Transfer of Funds Within the Same Department Mrs. Metcalf explained the request is for Vehicle Maintenance for Other Supplies to go to Contractual Services and the second request is for the Aquatic Center to clean up their payroll accounts for the pool. Councilperson Stoner made a motion approve Ordinance 2024-OR-65, seconded by Councilperson Burns; motion passed,9-0. COMMITTEE REPORTS: • Councilperson Semones advised on behalf of the Negotiating Committee they were having another meeting this week so hopefully they will have some progress to report at the next City Council Meeting. ATTORNEY COMMENTS: Larry Wilder—No comment Les Merkley—Not present DEPARTMENT HEADS: COUNCIL COMMENTS: • Councilperson Burns—No comment • Councilperson Semones—Councilperson Semones thanked the Council for all of the dialogue during this meeting. She thanked Mr. Reischl and his department for the work on the UDO Amendment and her guests for attending today in support of the Tree Board Ordinance. She is pleased with getting the timing of this and promoting the event with the tree planting day. Councilperson Semones said she appreciated the dialogue between Council and even though they don't always agree she's glad they can demonstrate that democracy is about having a debate and different approaches to solving the problems of the citizens. • Councilperson Anderson—Councilperson Anderson thanked Councilperson Semones on the work that she did with the Tree Ordinance. • Councilperson Reed—Councilperson Reed reminded everyone to come out to Boo Fest at the Big 4 Bridge next Monday. Congratulations to Jeff Cheer and Jeff Soccer seasons for having such successful seasons. Please go out and vote,whether you agree with her or disagree with her she just wants everyone to go out and vote. Councilperson Reed thanked Councilperson Semones on the new rules ordinance that has given them structure and order as well as all of the green initiatives she has introduced. boofest at the big 4,Jeff cheer and soccer seasons,go vote,thanks to the rules and green ordinance. • Councilperson Webb—Councilperson Webb thanked Councilperson Semones for bringing the Tree Board Ordinance. • Council Vice President Hawkins—Council Vice President Hawkins said he is a tree hugger and he is very happy about the Tree Board. Every major City he's ever traveled to their tree canopy determines how much they like that City. He does not agree with every part of the Short Term Rental but he does agree it's a step in the right direction. He was particularly torn with eh BZA requirement but he thinks that having a registry is an important thing. Council Vice President Hawkins said he would like to look at moving the next meeting from Monday November 4 to Wednesday November 6. Council Vice President Hawkins asked Council Attorney Wilder if he needed to prepare a letter in the event that he won and Mr.Wilder confirmed that was correct. Council Vice President Hawkins made a motion to change the meeting to Wednesday, November 6th at 6:00 pm and Councilperson Stoner seconded the motion; motion passed,9-0. • Councilperson Snelling—No comment • Councilperson Stoner—Councilperson Stoner thanked the Parks Department team. He has spent a lot of time at The Depot recently and they are doing an incredible job expanding the programming there for families and you people and different groups in the community. They have the new pickleball courts and the new Lottie Oglesby upgrades which are fantastic. Councilperson Stoner said he is a huge believer in due process and he's saddened by the mistrust that has been created in the community and he hopes they will eventually rebound. He feels the EMS wait times are still an ongoing issue and that they have taken some good steps this year to rectify some of that and hopes more of that happens in the future. He doesn't think that people have a concern with their tax dollars being spent for public safety and thinks that people understand they deserve to have quality services but that they have a problem with seeing misuse and the fraud that can happen with unchecked power when it comes to their positions. He thinks they need to continue to take step to be more transparent which is why he is happy they were able to have the new rules package that expands to Public Comment. They are moving forward and finding ways to be transparent and regain the trust. • Council President White—Council President White said it is his understanding that everybody can send everything to the Clerk's Office for the agenda so moving forward there is no need to send him the agenda prior to sending out the packet, he will just see the agenda when everyone else sees it. Council President White apologized for missing that the rules no longer required a unanimous vote to change the agenda. Regarding Juneteenth, he has done that for two years. He was trying to set up something where they have some dedicated money and that was not the will of the Council so he is going to back out of that altogether. He does not have the will to go through another big long discussion about appropriations. Council President White said he would also like to correct a statement that was made,the Parks Department did not get the sponsorships, he got the sponsorships;all of them with the exception of Councilperson Webb and Mr.Wilder. It was also his understanding from the staff that the money just goes into the General Fund of where the other partner's monies go. He is not going to stress over that anymore.
