1. Shilese Stover-Cobb BAYA Sponsorship Request
Council President Reed introduced Shilese Stover-Cobb and Tish Fredrickson, representing BAYA
(Beautiful as you are) in their request for sponsorship from the council.
Shilese Stover-Cobb introduced herself as a board member of BAYA, along with Tish Frederick,
CEO, owner, and founder of BAYA, as well as Averi, the organization's development director.
Tish Frederick greeted the council, noting that the she had presented to the same sitting council
the previous year. She explained that BAYA has experienced significant growth, with the BAYA
Center thriving and continued expansion within Greater Clark County Schools, including strong
growth at River Valley Middle School. She expressed appreciation for the support previously
provided by the City of Jeffersonville and conveyed that the organization is seeking continued
support this year. She then gave the floor to Averi, who was introduced to provide additional
details regarding the organization's growth and development efforts.
Averi thanked the council for their generous support the previous year, highlighting that the
funding directly supported in-school workshops. She explained that BAYA now serves
approximately 200 girls across six groups within Jeffersonville. She emphasized the importance
of BAYA's work, which focuses on proactive and positive mental health intervention.
Referencing the most recent CDC data published in 2024, she explained that 40%of students
report persistent feelings of hopelessness, with that number rising to 57% among teen girls, the
population BAYA primarily serves. She emphasized that not only were these numbers
devastating, they were unacceptable and that these statistics highlight the need for continued
investment in programs supporting girls' wellbeing and future success. Averi further explained
that the organization was founded following a suicide attempt involving the founder's daughter,
underscoring the mission to actively combat youth mental health crises. She shared that one in
three girls in the United States reports actively considering suicide, reinforcing the urgency of
BAYA's work. She concluded by asking the council for sponsorship for their upcoming "Wings of
worth Gala". (See attachments)
President Reed then opened the floor for any questions from the council.
Councilperson Stoner: "If I missed this I apologize, but what was the total amount that you
raised last year at the fundraiser?"
Averi: "So after all of our pledges were fulfilled, we ended up with $75,000."
Councilperson Stoner: "And that money goes directly back to supporting the programming?"
Averi: "Yes, directly back into programming. We operate our programs, we don't bill our schools
4 for the full cost of our services because it's just over$200. So we eat about$168 of every single
service we provide to ensure that out workshops remain accessible for our schools, so that cost
goes directly into funding that work."
Councilperson Stoner: "I'm really excited to hear what the rest of the council thinks. What I will
say is that I believe organizations like yours and the programming you are committed to now are
going to not only save lives down the road, but also keep us from spending money and dealing
with issues in other areas. I know our law enforcement community is with us tonight, and we
recently had a very serious traumatic incident involving law enforcement in a case of severe
mental health. I think when those issues are addressed early on, it will save you from human
cost down the road. I truly appreciate what you all are doing."
Averi: "Absolutely, thank you so much."
President Reed: "I love what you're doing in the schools. I think you have done a phenomenal
job promoting mental health. I appreciate you approaching this at a more conservative level
than last year. We are facing some tight budgets, but I hope we can still support you. I would
also like to hear what anyone else has to say."
Councilperson Hawkins: "What fund did that come out of last year?"
President Reed: "It would have been the "Riverboat Special Projects". We have about $35,000 in
there right now."
Councilperson Hawkins: "This would be a question for Heather I guess,the "Opioid Funds",
would this be an acceptable use for that?"
Heather Metcalf, City Controller: "I would have to check the requirements, but it would also
need to have an interpretation as well."
President Reed: "I wasn't sure if would could utilize that fund just because it's mental health,
and there wasn't a direct correlation back, but I would be open to either."
Councilperson Hawkins: "Well I would certainly think that opioid use and mental health are
certainly somehow linked, that's why I asked."
Ms. Stover-Cobb: "Some of our lessons are taught on different subjects, like opioid use and
things like that."
Councilperson Stoner: "The "Opioid Restricted funds" do have very strict guidelines for how we
can use it. But then there's also the "Opioid Unrestricted Funds" which I think there's a lot more
ability there for us to utilize them for something like this."
Councilperson Hawkins: "Well the opioid for me is a good fund to use for things like this because
it is so restricted, it's one that we can't roll over, and we can't move to other things if needed.
So with the opioid, I would think if it's possible to use it from that, that's where I would like to
pull the money from, because you know that has to be used for very specific things. We can't
use it for other things, and then sometimes we have a hard time find things to use that money
on. I don't know about timelines or how long it takes to get an answer, but that's my one say
that I have about this."
Councilperson Snelling: "I would agree with Scott. Do you know how long it would take to do
that Heather?"
Ms. Metcalf: Larry, you know more about the law and how it would work.There are some very
strict guidelines on that, but it would need to be appropriated also. We can at least get that part
started."
Council Attorney, Larry Wilder: "There's no doubt about the unrestricted."
Ms. Metcalf: "That's true."
Mr. Wilder: "I mean, there would be no doubt about that. Of course, I'm going to say what I
always say, "Until somebody tells you that you can't do that".
President Reed: "So my question would be, Heather, can we appropriate it from the "Opioid
Restricted Fund" and then if that comes back as a negative, then we would move it over to the
other fund?"
Councilperson Hawkins: "Like do it as a first reading for the restricted and then just change the
additional?"
President Reed: "Oh, that's one that has to be advertised."
Vice President Burns: "Well, I'm just thinking the unrestricted funds, we were going to use that
for a larger purchase?"
Councilperson Stoner: "The Meijer settlement was for the police. Are you talking about that, the
police mobile command?That was different, that didn't have the same restrictions as the
restricted funds."
Ms. Metcalf: "Correct."
Vice President Burns: "But no the unrestricted funds from the opioid? I mean that was my
understanding, not recently, but for a long time."
Ms. Metcalf: "Yeah."
Councilperson Snelling: "I think you're going to be ok, we just have to figure out what pot to
take from."
Ms. Frederick: "I've had kids come in and surrender their vape pens, and it happens all the time.
'Miss Tish, can you please help me? I don't want to do this anymore." So I know that our
program, like you said, works. When you tap into mental health, it helps them not want to
abuse, because they are abusing to suppress the things they are feeling."
Vice President Burns: "When is your event?"
Ms. Frederick: "May 14."
Vice President Burns: "So we could table this and come to the next council meeting, and we've
got plenty of time."
President Reed: "Can we table it, or should we just go ahead and pass it on the first?"
Councilperson Hawkins: "Let's just go ahead and pass it on the first and if then if they feel like
they don't have to come back."
President Reed: "Yeah, they don't have to come back."
Vice President Burns: "We don't know what fund to pass it from."
Mr. Wilder: "Both funds, and then when you get to the place where you know which one you
can use, you just don't adopt the one that you don't want to use."
Councilperson Hawkins: "If we can do that."
Councilperson Stoner: "But that itself wouldn't need to be advertised, Heather, or are you
saying that would need to be advertised?"
Ms. Metcalf: "It would."
Councilperson Webb: "No matter what we're going to table it."
President Reed: "We do have to table it?"
Councilperson Stoner: "Yeah, or we go forward with the unrestricted, and then can we change
it?"
Councilperson Snelling: "But we need to use it out of that fund, Scott, that's what you're saying
because it's hard to use that money, and we need to use that money."
Councilperson Hawkins: "Yeah."
Vice President Burns: "Then really, there's nothing to table."
Councilperson Hawkins: "We would just have to do it next time."
Ms. Metcalf: "You'll have the ordinance then."
President Reed: "So should we talk about an amount while they're here though?"
Vice president Burns: "Well Heather needs to know how much to advertise for, if it's going to
work."
President Reed: "Where is everybody's comfort level?"
Councilperson Webb: "What was last year's?"
President Reed: "Last year was$4,500, we're trying to be more conservative this year I think,
where we stand budget wise."
Councilperson Stoner: "I will just mention, I know it's not really a part of the conversation
tonight, but I did send an email out to the council speaking about "The Domino Effect", Dominic
Whipple's program with youth violence prevention. My hope was that we would do something
out of the "Unrestricted Opioid Funds" with that. So I don't know if that's something maybe we
can just look at doing all at once at our next council meeting, if there's support for that. Not
necessarily at the amount that we mentioned in the email, but I think there's an opportunity for
a conversation around that."
President Reed: "I would say that one is not on the agenda tonight, but I think that you're right.
We can at least get the information that would determine what both programs look like for
that."
Councilperson Stoner: "Absolutely."
Vice President Burns: "Does that not potentially qualify for the restricted funds?"
Councilperson Stoner: "I think that it very well could, at the next meeting we'll have a full
presentation."
Ms. Metcalf: "We could always appropriate the cash that's already in the fund and then decide
on an ongoing basis, rather than coming back and doing additional after additional. There are
lots of options, and I can get you all the executive key that has the restrictions on that. I don't
know if you have that or not, but I'd like to get it to you all. Because I do have to do reporting on
it every year of what category this is going to."
President Reed: "That would be wonderful. So it sounds like we are going to need to advertise it,
which is completely ok, you guys don't necessarily have to come back for that. I know you've got
very busy schedules. What amount are we feeling comfortable with?"
Councilperson Snelling: "$1,500?"
President Reed: "Ok, so you will be getting a $1,500 gift as long as everything goes smoothly
with the appropriations. So at the next meeting, we will have a public hearing and determine
which fund it will come out of. Wait no, there will not be a public hearing."
Councilperson Hawkins: "You will just have to re-advertise."
President Reed: "Ok, so it will be two meetings from now and you should get everything that
you need for the $1,500 sponsorship and Lisa will keep you in the loop about everything.
Councilperson Stoner: "Madam President, the only reason why I mention that is because I told
the clerk that I was potentially going to bring that sponsorship request to our next meeting.Just
so the council is aware that it would be on the same night."
President Reed: "I think that's perfectly appropriate, especially if we have all of the information.
I think that would be wonderful."
2. Brittany Dougherty Vice President of Southern Indiana Works for SummerWorks 2026
President Reed introduced the next agenda item along with Teresa Moulton, who was
representing SummerWorks and coming before the council to provide an update with the
program (see attachment).
After the presentation, President Reed opened the floor for any questions from the council.
Councilperson Stoner: "So you all pay the salaries and the wages?"
Ms. Moulton: ""Yeah, our partner organization at the WorkOne Career Center is the employer of
record, and we handle all of the payroll and everything like that. They're technically being paid
by Career Connects, so that's why we call our partner organizations the work sites. They're not
technically the employer; they're the work site."
Councilperson Stoner: "Do all of the kids have access to transportation?"
Ms. Moulton: "That is one thing that we have required of them, is that they have some way to
get to their work site. That's just one of the things, in order to participate in the program."
Councilperson Stoner: "How do you guys focus on recruitment for how you get people to join
the program?"
Ms. Moulton: "Yeah, we have gotten out to a lot of the schools. We go to many career fairs and
bring information, and we usually have sign-ups on our website.The way we've run it, is that
people sign up when they're interested, and we go down the list, call them, and try to find the
right position for each person that works for them."
Councilperson Snelling: "You did say 16-21 was the age limit?"
Ms. Moulton: "Yes, we have taken a couple of 15 year olds, if it's ok with the work site and we
have called everybody who's interested in that 16-21 age range. If we still have open positions,
we have in the past had 15 year olds participate too."
President Reed: "I'm excited to see this program growing. I've been jealous of the program in
Louisville for a long time, and knowing that our students have that access here is wonderful. I
love that you're exploring whether they can meet the third bucket of graduation through
experiential learning. I'm very happy with the work you've done. Does anybody else have any
questions or thoughts?"
Councilperson Stoner: "Was there any sort of survey or anything sent out to the participants
from the City of Jeff, or just all of the participants?"
Ms. Moulton: "I did do a post-program survey with the participants as well, yeah."
Councilperson Stoner: "Is that something you could share with us?"
Ms. Moulton: "Yeah, I could pull those results and let you all know.Just to let you know the ones
for the participants, I generally have them be anonymous,just so they can be honest with me
and then for the site supervisors, they did say who they were, so they could give feedback on
particular participants."
City Clerk, Lisa Gill: "If you send that to me, I'll make that they all get it."
Ms. Moulton: "Yep, I can do that."
3. Heather Metcalf 2026-R-1 Resolution Authorizing the Investment of Public Funds
Pursuant to IC 5-13-9-5
President Reed introduced the next agenda item and gave the floor to City Controller, Heather
Metcalf.
Ms. Metcalf: "So this is a resolution that needs to be done each year. It allows us to invest our
public funds with the depositories designated by the State Board of Accounts."
Councilperson Stoner: "I have just a few questions real quick. When you say depositories with
the State Board of Accounts, is there a list?"
Ms. Metcalf: "Yes."
Councilperson Stoner: "And then do you determine, as the fiscal agent, which ones you select?"
Ms. Metcalf: It's a collaboration, but the list is quite long."
Councilperson Stoner: "Who is the collaboration with?"
Ms. Metcalf: "The administration."
Councilperson Stoner: "Ok, because on this specifically, it's just the investing officer. I guess you
would be the investing officer."
Ms. Metcalf: "Yes."
Councilperson Stoner: "so other collaboration, is it the mayor?Who else?"
Ms. Metcalf: "Yes."
Councilperson Stoner: "Ok, do those depositories identify risk with those certain funds?"
Ms. Metcalf: "You're probably thinking about the different types of funds, I'm just referring to
the institution itself. Like I cannot bank with banks that are not located in Indiana.This also
allows me to use banks that are located outside of my jurisdiction."
Councilperson Stoner: "Okay, when an announcement was made, I think about a year and a half
to two years ago, there was discussion about $3.2 million in earned interest. Is there a way for
4
your office to drill down and determine where that $3.2 million went specifically? Can we
identify whether portions went to police, fire, or streets, or is it distributed across the spectrum,
and then there's no real way for us to drill down know what that went towards?"
Ms. Metcalf: "So the investment master funds list that I send to you every month has the
breakdown of where those investments are. Then that money is part of the miscellaneous
revenues that are accounted for when you do the budget. It goes into the fund that the money
is in the first place."
Councilperson Stoner: "ok awesome, including the earned interest?"
Ms. Metcalf: "Yes."
There were no other questions or discussion from the council.
Council Vice President Burns made a motion to approve the Resolution 2026-R-1, seconded by
Councilperson Hawkins; motion passed, 6-0.
4. Heather Metcalf 2026-OR-5 Ordinance of Additional Appropriation
President Reed introduced the next agenda item and gave the floor back to City Controller,
Heather Metcalf.
Ms. Metcalf: "So these are the first four.There are two for our Spring Street Master Plan, and
then another two for the Sidewalk Construction Fund. Those were Special Revenue Funds, these
are the cash balances left over in those funds,just like the appropriation that we did prior to
this. The last one is for the police department to re-appropriate some insurance
reimbursements. Then I have Andy Crouch, City Engineer and Chad Reischl, Planning and Zoning
Director, to talk about Spring Street and what the intentions are."
Mr. Reischl: "So, in terms of the Spring Street Master Plan,just a little history. Back in 2017, our
office initiated a Spring Street Master Plan that envisioned rebuilding Spring Street from the
Ohio River all the way up into Claysburg. In 2018, we got money from the council for completion
of the Claysburg segment and money to draft construction plans, or at least preliminary
construction plans, for the remaining segments. We anticipated that money was going to be
allocated for the remaining segments, but that never came to fruition. Sometime in 2021 or
2022, $302,000, plus or minus, was set aside for completing the construction documents for the
remaining three segments.The idea there was to make this project shovel-ready for some
transportation money that was theoretically coming through in the Biden administration.
Making the project shovel-ready meant that we needed to have some serious conversations,
especially within the downtown segment, because there were a lot of options in the plan about
how to change or maybe eliminate some of the parking to make wider sidewalks, et cetera.
Those conversations were going to have to happen, and it seemed that it was going to be
challenging if we knew that there wasn't money coming our way. So this kind of got put on the
back burner. The $300,000 is sitting there in the funds as we speak. In the meantime, we have
paved a considerable amount of the right of way in the NoCo district area, and we recently
repaved the entirety of the hospital segment of the corridor, including brand-new bike lanes
that have been striped to connect into Claysburg. We're also working with the mayor and
redevelopment to talk about milling and repaving Spring Street from Court to the river. In some
sense, politically and fiscally, there is probably no intent for us to tear up the street anytime
soon, so it might be better to use these funds for a few other projects in the corridor that need
work. Primarily, that work is on sidewalk segments between Seventh and Ninth Street and some
corners that are non-existent at Seventh and Eighth Street, where the sidewalk network has
really broken down over the years. We would like to put this $302,000 to work. We have
appropriated twenty percent for professional design services and eighty percent for
construction."
Mr. Reischl then offered the floor to Mr. Crouch to speak on the sidewalks.
Mr. Crouch: "Just we'll have to identify the sidewalks and the locations that we want to remove,
rehabilitate, and replace, and fill in any gaps and segments that aren't there."
Councilperson Snelling: "MainlySeventh and Eigh
th Street?"
p
Mr. Crouch: "Are you looking to restrict it to just between Seventh and Ninth Street, or are we
looking at Ninth to the river?"
Mr. Reischl: "There might be a few other spots from Ninth down to the river, but generally
speaking, the sidewalks in the downtown area are not in terribly bad shape."
Councilperson Hawkins: "The only thing that I can remember being a part of that, for the people
who weren't, was that it was very much felt rushed to get the free money that the federal
government was throwing from trees at that time, if you recall. And then, when we started
actually talking about what it really looked like—think of in front, all the way down Spring
Street, in front of O'Shea's and all that—what were you really going to do?And then, with
COVID, not knowing exactly how that was going to be, that was something we immediately put
on the back burner because it didn't look like we were going to get all the free money that we
thought we were going to get. So I'm very much for this. I'm glad somebody identified this three
hundred thousand that's sitting there can be put to good use. I'll be for it because I know that
really wasn't a project that had reached the point where, 'Oh, we're doing this, and now we're
not going to.' It never reached that level. So I'm okay with using that money for something
that's a little bit better, if that helps anybody understand what happened."
Councilperson Stoner: "I know you both are very connected with our neighborhood groups, and
I imagine you hear a lot,just as we do, about certain areas. Did any of that feedback go into your
decision-making around some of these improvements?"
Mr. Crouch: "I think we were trying to stick as much as we could to the original intent of the
funds to make improvements to Spring Street. If we weren't going to do a new streetscape
project all the way through, what could we use this for? We identified, 'Let's fix some
sidewalks.-
There were no other questions or discussion from the council.
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve the Ordinance 2026-OR-5 on the 15t and 2nd
reading, seconded by Councilperson Stoner; motion passed, 6-0.

Ms. Metcalf: "While I'm up here, do you want to talk about opioid funds, or will we talk about
that later? Like how much—do you only want the amount that's asked to be appropriated, or
would you like to appropriate more so that if something comes up in the future, you would not
have to re-advertise and appropriate?"
President Reed: "How do we feel about that Evan?"
Councilperson Snelling: "Better to put some in the bank if we get it than throughout the year."
Councilperson Stoner: "Can we put some of that under our council budget jurisdiction?"
Ms. Metcalf: "It's all under council budget jurisdiction."
Councilperson Stoner: "ok."
Ms. Metcalf: "So I don't have the cash balances of those funds right now off the top of my head,
but it would be the same type of issue as appropriating this."
Councilperson Stoner: "Last time I looked, it was thirty-five thousand in unrestricted for one of
them."
President Reed: "Well. I think there was one restricted."
Councilperson Stoner: "Well yeah, that was like around two hundred, but we'd have to go back."
Ms. Metcalf: "You can appropriate both of them and then you can decide where you want the
money to come from, right Larry?"
Council Attorney, Larry Wilder: "Correct, that's the easiest way, kind of what the conversation
Mr. Stoner and I had about having it in the budget where the council is fit."
President Reed: "I am up for whatever the council wants to do as a whole. I know we don't have
the whole group here tonight, but if it's easier to go ahead and appropriate some and then
utilize it later, I am completely ok with that. I'd rather it be the restricted fund honestly, than the
unrestricted, because I know there are some other needs that we've talk about with the
unrestricted."
Ms. Metcalf: "But the only way you can spend that money is if you appropriate it. So it's nice
when you have a decision made, but then you have to go back and wait for the process to
happen"
President Reed: "So you're wanting us to appropriate the restricted funds tonight at a certain
amount that would cover both the BAYA and potentially The Domino Effect at our next council
meeting?"
Ms. Metcalf: "I'm saying appropriate the cash balances in both of those funds so that you would
have that amount available if a future decision gets made."
4
Councilperson Snelling: `I'd be ok with that."
Vice President Burns: "I'd be willing to appropriate the entire cash balances of both."
Councilperson Stoner: "Of unrestricted and restricted?"
Vice President Burns: "Yeah, might as well. We can't use it unless we do"
Mr. Wilder: "Correct."
Councilperson Stoner: "Heather, I've got one question for you, if I may, Madam President. When
we were talking about the risk, those funds, those investments that we're doing, they still do
have risk with them, right?Any of the banks that we choose to invest in, you as the investing
agent, the mayor, anyone—all investing has risk."
Ms. Metcalf: "To some extent, but there is a reserve. What is that called, The Indiana State
something another? So even if the bank goes kaput, we would still have our money."
Councilperson Stoner: "They outline the parameters around it, ok, thanks."
Vice President Burns: "Mainly, we're investing in CDs, savings accounts, and sweep funds. We're
not in the stock market."
Ms. Metcalf: "No, we're not investing your 401k or anything."
Councilperson Stoner: "Glad we clarified, thank you."
