NEW BUSINESS:
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Ray Smithers, 1520 Francis Dr.: "I'm complaining about the property at 1602 Spring Street in
Jeffersonville. My dad just passed away and had some property out there. I go out there every evening
and every morning and run people away, but they keep coming back and are using it like a homeless
camp or something. They're selling drugs and doing whatever they can out there, and I'm the only one
running them off. I just think I need some help. They have knocked the windows out, like they're trying
to take over. I've been downtown talking to people at the courthouse, trying to see if I can get some
help or who I should talk to, because I was trying to open a car lot or something out there if I could."
President Reed: "OK, I know that a lot of people, when they have issues like this, they usually try to
communicate with our police department. Because they do a good job of relational policing, where they
work with different organizations that can help that population and potentially find other places for
them to come back into the community. Have you worked with our police department yet?"
Mr. Smithers: "Yes, I called them on several occasions. But when they do go out there, the people aren't
out there. They wait and see them coming, then they dodge off and leave, and then they come back.
Same thing they do with me, they see me coming and they walk on the path and just keep on going.
Then I go up there in the morning and I catch the same people up there again. Sometimes the police
aren't out there enough to help with running them away. Then they it used now for like a dump. They
just dump everything out there and it's a total mess. I took pictures of it earlier. I was just wondering if
somebody can help me do something with it, I'd be glad to. I checked on the taxes and stuff today, my
dad got everything caught up on it. So I'm just trying to see if I can talk to someone in the city, whether
somebody can guide me the right way."
President Reed: "Definitely, it sounds like it's in Mr. White's district. Do you have any feedback on that
area or that property?"
Councilperson White: "First, my condolences. He was a great community servant and he is dearly
missed. I don't know how you would organize a cleanup, but really getting a lot of that stuff moved off
the property would probably help that situation. I know whenever I would see something, I would call
him and let him know. Like, one time they tore the fence down and they accessed it through the back,
and they were living in that old truck, like an ice cream truck. I'll give you a call and see how to go about
removing a lot of that stuff. Are you interested in getting all that stuff off there?"
Mr. Smithers: "Yes sir, most definitely."
Councilperson White: "We'll have some discussions about that."
Mr. Smithers: "Ok, appreciate it."
Michael Jarboe, 1513 Elliott Ave.: "Good evening, my name is Michael Jarboe. I'm once again coming
about the Flock cameras and asking you guys to cancel your contract with them. I live on Elliot Avenue
here in Jeff. Last session, I didn't really intend on speaking, but the list was short. Opportunity knocked,
my passion answered. I apologize for my incoherence from last time, so this time I'm a little more
organized. So my bona fides, I enlisted in the Army as a cryptologic network warfare specialist. I was re-
classed because I washed out, but was then re-classed as an intelligence analyst. I completed that
training and then was sent to Korea, attached to the combined joint fires element with Eighth Army. I
served there for a year, did a lot of great things. Then after my year there, I was stationed at Peterson
Air Force Base, working in the First Space Battalion headquarters, HHC, working in the S2, dealing mostly
with InfoSec, PerSec, and PhysSec. Those are all securities, so I am a security guy. Later in my time in
Colorado at Peterson Air Force Base, I was tapped to go to Second Space Company, one of our sister
elements, and was trained to deploy under the unique mission set. With them, we went to New York,
Germany, Japan, Kuwait, and ultimately Afghanistan. So my notable accolades; I have two ARCOMs,
Joint Service Combination Medal with C device,Joint Meritorious Unit Award, Combat Action Badge,
Good Army Conduct Medal, Korea Defense Service Medal, a NATO Medal, and two Overseas Service
Ribbons. That's just a little bit about me. This is my field. Some of the local issues I see with Flock.There
are no legal safeguards in place controlling how it's used with the police force. I believe it violates the
Fourth Amendment on many occasions, we can discuss that again Mr. White, if you choose.The police
don't have the time and/or adequate training to do the right thing, as Councilperson Stoner described
last session, and false positives with AI and system failures. Al is an unregulated emerging technology
with loads of flaws and unintended consequences. It misreads plates, O's and zeros, ones and l's, B's and
eights, twos and sevens. It has cross-state confusion. It has issues with cloned plates or stale data.
It is an actual waste of money, 99.5% of license plates scanned don't lead to any convictions of any kind.
National concern; Flock feeds our data to groups that you guys may not know of, like DHS or FBI, CIA.
Well CIA does international, not domestic. Flock says that it keeps pictures for only 30 days, but with my
specialty and what we did, they take that picture and they take all the data from it, put it on an Excel
sheet and it's no longer a picture. They can say they got rid of it, but they still have the data.They can do
whatever they want with that data because it's theirs. I guess that's all I have time for."
President Reed: "Thank you so much for coming back. I can tell that you're passionate, and I appreciate
your service to our country. I think that gives us a lot more context from where you're coming from and I
really appreciate you giving that. Did anybody follow up from our last meeting?"
Mr. Jarboe: "Not a soul."
President Reed: "I apologize for that. We have one of our police officers in the back. Can we set up a
time maybe to have just a private meeting with him about Flock and hear his concerns in full? Because I
know you only get a few minutes here tonight. So if you give him you're information, he'll loop me in
and I'll come too, and anybody else who wants to come. We'll make sure we hear you fully, because I
know you don't get a lot of time here tonight and I just appreciate your service to our country and
bringing your concerns, because it's brave."
Mr.Jarboe: "Ok, What would it take for you guys to cancel your contract with them?"
Councilperson White: "The contracts are approved through the Board of Public Works. So there's a
meeting that happens every Wednesday at 9:30 AM, so you may want to ask them to put you on the
agenda."
Mr.Jarboe: "Ok."
President Reed: "We're the funding agent. So there's always checks and balances in government. So we
don't approve the contracts, we fund the contracts. So it's good that we're hearing from you, but I think
having a meeting where we could really hear out your concerns would be helpful to you and to us. Then
also getting that information maybe at the Board of Public Works would be helpful."
Mr.Jarboe: "I'm not trying to be smart honestly. But the reason I'm coming to you guys is because you
guys would cancel the funding, and that was my thought process at least."
President Reed: "I understand that. This year it's already been budgeted, and the police are working
within their budgets, so they haven't asked us, I don't believe, for additional funding in the future
currently. So when that does hit the agenda though, for any additional funding, then that would come to
us, and then you'd be able to speak for or against it. Does that make sense?"
Mr. Jarboe: "Yeah, sure."
President Reed: "I do think just hearing your concerns in full and maybe letting you speak to the police
officers and understand where their training is, and they can appreciate your training, I think that never
hurts anybody in our public sphere."
Mr. Jarboe: "Ok, thank you."
Councilperson White: "Just in the event that they pass the contract and then put it in the budget the
mayor presents to us, then we would be considering not funding a contractual obligation the city has. So
that's why I'm saying, they, the Board of Public Works, passed the contract, so it would be irresponsible
for a municipality to default on its legal obligations."
Mr.Jarboe: "It's kind of for the greater good though."
Councilperson White: "That's my position."
Mr.Jarboe: "Understood."
Councilperson White: "So your issue is with the people who passed the contracts, and that is the Board
of Public Works."
Mr.Jarboe: "Sure."
Councilperson White: "You said something earlier, I didn't hear what you said. Did you say something
about police resources?That Mr. Stoner said something about police reform. What did you say?"
Mr.Jarboe: "Oh yes, He went on about doing ride-alongs and the police,they well manage their
resources, and it's a straw man, and it's a bad myth."
President Reed: "Appreciate your comments, and I appreciate your service. If you give our police
representative tonight your information, I will make sure that you're reached out to, and we'll set
something up to further hear you, ok?Thank you so much."
Mr.Jarboe: "OK, thanks."
Councilperson Stoner: "Madam President, I just want to mention that I believe that my comments were
misrepresented. I do believe that our officers are utilizing this tool in a proper way, and it does aid them
in their situations across the city, so I continue to believe that they are doing the right thing by it. I think
that,that was a misrepresentation of my comments."
Mr.Jarboe: "We can go back and forth on this."
President Reed: "Well I think that maybe we should move on tonight. But I think that having a private
meeting is going to hopefully make you feel more heard and adequately understood, is that ok?"
Mr.Jarboe: "Sure."
President Reed: "I apologize you weren't followed up with before, but we'll make sure you are."
Mr.Jarboe: "Yeah, it's pretty embarrassing for council members."
President Reed: "I agree."
Mr.Jarboe: "Thanks guys."
Larry Wilder,Council Attorney: "Young man, we have a certain decorum, so insulting my clients is not
acceptable."
Mr.Jarboe: "Ok."
1. Kim Calabro 2026-OR-14 Ordinance Amending 2026-OR-2 &Fixing the Salaries of
Appointed Officers& Employees for All Departments of the City
President Reed introduced the next item on the agenda, giving the floor to Kim Calabro,
Director of Human Resources.
Ms. Calabro greeted the council and explained that she was coming before the council to
make a couple of requests related to changes in the salary ordinance. She shared that the
fire department recommended moving the current fire apparatus mechanic from the vehicle
maintenance structure to the fire department, noting that this has essentially already
occurred. She explained that the mechanic works under the direction of Deputy Chief
McCutcheon, reports to them, and follows a schedule worked out by the department. She
added that the mechanic will remain a backup and continue working on the vehicle
maintenance fleet for other vehicles when necessary, and that this arrangement will not
change. She clarified that there will be no change in salary, position, or title, and that the
funding will simply be shifted from vehicle maintenance to the fire department. President
Reed asked if vehicle maintenance agrees that this is a positive move for the fire
department. Ms. Calabro confirmed that they agreed and added that she had talked to
Michael O'Brien, who had also talked to Chief Grant and Deputy Chief McCutcheon. Ms.
Calabro also added that this was pretty much already occurring and has been that way for
probably the past year and a half to two years. President Reed added that she thought this
was a wonderful way to retain an employee, who has been very valuable.
Ms. Calabro agreed with President Reed and continued on with the additional change
request. She explained that the longtime chaplain is going to be retiring and noted that he
has not been at work for about the last month. She shared that, instead of filling that
position, the police department plans to continue the approach used in the past by
contracting with chaplains who can serve in an advisory capacity without being paid. She
added that the salary currently assigned to the chaplain will remain part-time and will be
reallocated to add a part-time evidence technician position. She also added that a full-time
evidence technician was recently hired and expressed excitement about her experience,
mentioning that she has several years of experience with Metro Louisville and will bring
valuable expertise to the role. President Reed asked for confirmation that by adding the
part-time evidence technician, there would be no extra cost. Ms. Calabro confirmed that to
be correct, and that the salary structure would be the same and no additional money would
be asked for.
There were no further questions or discussion from the council.
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve Ordinance 2026-OR-14 on the 1st and 2'
reading, seconded by Councilperson Webb; motion passed, 7-0.
2. Chief McVoy 2026-OR-15 Ordinance Creating Non-Reverting Fund for Payment Towards
Security Cameras
President Reed informed the council that Chief McVoy could not be present but Assistant
Chief Josh Lynch was available as a representative if needed. She continued with introducing
Ordinance 2026-OR-15, the creation of a non-reverting fund for payments toward security
cameras. She explained that the ordinance establishes the fund structure, noting that the
police department is expected to have an overage of funding in the first few years and
intends to utilize the fund for future payments and maintain fiscal responsibility. Assistant
Chief Josh Lynch further explained that the ordinance would also place all of the parks under
the same umbrella to improve efficiency. He noted that currently, officers must go through
the parks or street department to obtain video footage when a criminal act or incident
occurs on their property, which prolongs investigations. He explained that this change
would allow the process to be streamlined.
President Reed asked if there were any questions or concerns from the other council
members.
Councilperson White: "Are these the cameras that have the bubble at the end of them?"
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Some of them do, yeah, and it's also what you see in the parks and
the wastewater treatment plants. It's really, instead of having multiple accounts through
different vendors, trying to make it streamlined because it is very ambiguous when you're
trying to figure out where it was, who the vendor was, and get the footage for criminal
investigation and prosecution. This kind of streamlines that."
Councilperson Stoner: "So the police department will be managing that entire account, is
that what you're saying?"
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Yes."
Councilperson Stoner: "All the cameras across the city?"
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Yes."
President Reed: "And before, correct me if I'm wrong, if something happened at NOCO, they
would have to call the parks department. They would have to upload the footage to them,
they would have to download it, and then they would have to check it. And this is just so
they can log onto the system wherever, check the footage. It creates a much more timely
response."
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Yes."
Councilperson Stoner: "Are all of those security pros? I know that they typically work with
the parks department a lot, security pros."
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Well, it's all going to go under our network. It'll just be under one."
Councilperson Stoner: "Ok, yeah."
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Like I said, all the departments will still have access to their cameras.
But we will be able to, instead of calling somebody at 3:00 in the morning and have them
come out and burn a disc, we'll all have access to that, it's under one account."
Councilperson White: "Will that also be something you can view in that room where you
have the screens?"
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Yes sir."
Councilperson Snelling: "You can do that on the mobile app also?"
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Yes, anybody that has the authorization."
Councilperson Snelling: "Yeah, that presentation showed how they can watch it from their
phone, pretty neat."
Assistant Chief Lynch: "And that also will allow for, instead of waiting until the next day or
3:00 in the morning, if there's a crime that's taken place, they'll be able to access it right
then and there."
Councilperson White: "How is it governed, the conduct with who accesses these? Is it in
your standard operating procedures?"
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Yes absolutely, and depending on whoever the employees are with
that department, the authorities will only have access to the cameras that they manage for
their facilities."
Councilperson White: "And if somebody accesses the footage in violation of the standard
operating procedures, then they can be disciplined for that?"
Assistant Chief Lynch: "Yes, there is an audit trail on every action."
Councilperson White: "Thank you."
There were no further questions or discussion from the council.
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve Ordinance 2026-OR-15 on the 15t and 2nd
reading, seconded by Council Vice President Burns; motion passed, 7-0.
3. (Evan Stoner) Dominique Whipple Domino Affect Program Funding Discussion
President Reed explained that the next agenda item involved Dominique Whipple, who had
previously come before the council requesting funding for the Domino Affect program. She
noted that the council approved the funding to go through CAST because Ms. Whipple is not
currently a certified 501(c)(3). She explained that CASI was unable to accept the funding due
to a conflict of interest related to a board position held by Ms. Whipple. President Reed
continued with adding that Ms. Whipple would like for the funds to go through the Juvenile
Detention Center instead, clarifying that no additional funding is being requested. Ms.
Whipple was only asking to route the funds through a different 501(c)(3) for the city. She
then asked Councilperson Stoner if he had anything to add.
Councilperson Stoner: "Just that I appreciate everyone's support on that program funding,
and we would just be asking for support of a motion for those funds to be directed directly
to the Juvenile Detention Center, with reporting back to the council on supervision of those
funds."
Councilperson Snelling: "Where's it going to?"
Councilperson Stoner: "Clark County Juvenile Detention Center. I believe, Madam Clerk,
they've already sent you the information."
Lisa Gill, City Clerk: "We already have the W-9, they're set up as a vendor, and we have the
invoice. But I told them I'm not doing anything until you all make a motion in a public
meeting."
Councilperson White: "I saw a Facebook post, I did not call to verify it, but it said that they
are now a 501(c)(3)."
President Reed: "I have not verified that, but I do know that we have permission through
the Juvenile Detention Center to receive the funds, and that Ms. Whipple has agreed to it.
So I wanted to make sure we were taking the path of least resistance since this had already
been on the agenda."
Councilperson Stoner: "I saw that same post, Mr. White. She's gotten her approval through
the state, but her next step is the Federal IRS approval."
Councilperson Stoner made a motion to designate the funds that were originally designated
towards CASI for the Domino Affect, instead going to Clark County Juvenile Detention Center,
seconded by Councilperson Snelling; motion passed, 7-0.
4. Heather Metcalf 2026-OR-16 Ordinance of Additional Appropriation
President Reed introduced the last item on the agenda. She added that the item was simply a
follow-up to the earlier discussion regarding the salary ordinance, where the salary lines are
being moved from one budget to another for the maintenance mechanic. City Clerk Lisa Gill
confirmed that President Reed was correct, specifying that the salary lines were going from
vehicle maintenance to the fire department.
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve Ordinance 2026-OR-16 on the 1st and 2nd
reading, seconded by Council Vice President Burns; motion passed, 7-0.
COMMITTEE REPORTS/COMMENTS:
Finance Committee- Councilperson Snelling informed the council that there was not a lot that they could
do, but they are still working and had received a lot of information from the insurance.
Opioid Funding Committee-Councilperson Stoner shared that the intent is for them to be present in
May to provide an update on the committee's work. He expressed that the experts involved are highly
qualified to help guide the effort in the right direction and added that they are doing a great job.
President Reed asked Councilperson Stoner if there were any updates on the traffic issue. Councilperson
Stoner replied that there was nothing from his perspective and that he did not want to speak for Mr.
Anderson. He shared that the administration released new information about timing on the lights at
intersections at Eastbrook and 10th, as well as Holman's and 10th. He added that he has not received
any feedback from neighbors on whether it is working and has not heard anything positive or negative.
Councilperson Snelling asked where the traffic was coming from and where was the most, to which
Councilperson Stoner explained that it is really both. He shared that he has been out there multiple
times with Mr. Anderson and has sat with neighbors during rush hour, observing a constant stream of
traffic. He added that this is not the only neighborhood in the city experiencing cut-through traffic and
noted that residents say it was like this prior to Charlestown Pike closing, but he agreed with Mr.
Crouch, that it has probably gotten worse because of that. He further explained that when the issue was
originally brought to Mr. Anderson and him, they contacted the police department, who had already
made over 115 traffic stops from November 2025 to March 2026. He added that the issue has been on
the department's radar and discussed during shift meetings. He concluded that it was brought to
renewed attention when a child was hit on a scooter. Councilperson Snelling described that he sees a lot
of cars and noted that at the right turn on red, many vehicles coming down 10th Street from Kroger,
near Jack in the Box, are in the right-hand lane. He indicated that they do not have to stop, and even
though the light is red, they continue and turn, which contributes to drivers taking the cut-through due
to backups at Holman Lane and Allison Lane. He suggested speaking with someone about possibly
reviewing the right turn on red, as that could deter some drivers from using the shortcut. Councilperson
Stoner relayed that they were told more time had been added to the arrow from Holman's turning left
onto 10th, and the same adjustment was made at Eastbrook and 10th. He added that signs were also
installed, including speed feedback signs and traffic volume signs. He conveyed that Mr. Crouch
indicated they will continue to monitor the situation, and that nothing is being taken off the table, but
they want to gather data before making any future decisions. President Reed expressed that she felt
that was fair, and that she would like to see more speed controls in all of the city.
Fire Committee- Councilperson Snelling shared that they met with the chief and the assistant chief the
previous week. He added that they were shown some of their planning and what they wanted to do. He
indicated that they are now waiting for the chief and assistant chief to meet with the mayor to
understand his perspective and what his plans are. Councilperson Webb also added that a layout was
presented and that they asked for it to be put on paper so it could be better presented to the council,
noting that it included a step-by-step procedure. He noted that the plan was to meet with the mayor to
ensure he was on board before presenting it to the council. He indicated that the process is in progress
and takes time, but that they are working on it and described the meeting as productive and what they
saw they had liked.
Councilperson Snelling informed the council that he had something else to address. He shared that
about a year ago he was involved in trying to get tornado sirens put in the eastern part of Jeffersonville,
noting that it has not happened. He explained that he has been talking to Gavan Hebner from Clark
County 911 Emergency and that there have been issues with Duke. Councilperson Snelling continued to
explain that originally it was going to be placed somewhere else, but the sewer department said it could
be put on top of one of their towers. Adding that they are trying to get the wiring hooked up and that
they have someone who can do it, but he does not know what the hold-up is. He has talked to the sewer
department manager and brought it up at the county 911 meeting the previous week, so if someone
else wanted to speak up. Councilperson Snelling finished by highlighting that it is not a good time of year
to not have a tornado siren in the eastern part of Jeffersonville.
Councilperson White: "We paid for those right?"
President Reed: "Yeah, we did."
Vice President Burns: "Les is the sewer board attorney. I would talk to him, see if he can stir them up."
President Reed: "That's a good idea. Would you mind reaching out to Les for us?"
Councilperson Snelling: "Talked to him a few weeks ago, and he was like, "Hey, all they got to do is tell
us, we can hook it up." They got the electric right where they need it."
Councilperson Stoner: "Did Gavan say it was originally delayed because of parts, right?"
Councilperson Snelling: "It was parts yeah, then they were waiting for Duke. They paid Duke $3000 and
something, and then they were in an argument with Duke trying to get the $3,000 back. Ok we'll get the
$3,000 back, but let's hook the tornado siren up. It's not a good time of year to not have a tornado siren
in the eastern part."
President Reed: "I agree, especially if we've already paid for it. And the county paid part of that too,
didn't they?"
Councilperson Snelling: "I'm not sure what their portion was."
President Reed: "I thought we split some kind of funding."
Councilperson Stoner: "The city split the fees on that."
Councilperson Snelling: "Bringing everybody up to where we are at."
President Reed: "We appreciate that, and it sounds like we might need to have them back in here and
see where we can move forward on that."
Councilperson Snelling: "Maybe bring it out in the public might help too. I'm not afraid to do that."
President Reed: "I agree. One of the other things, I know Mr. Burns had reached out, and he would like
to be added to the insurance committee. If no one is opposed to that, I'd like to go ahead and offer you
that appointment. Do you accept?"
Vice President Burns: "I accept."

COUNCIL COMMENTS:
• Councilperson White—"Well, we had another successful Thunder. Nothing major took place
other than a bunch of fireworks and things flying around.Talking to the police, nothing serious
happened,just the normal. Well, when you have something that lasts that long, people drink
yes, but nothing major. That's always great. Everybody enjoyed a safe and fun, rather cold,
cooler than we would like, day in downtown Jeff. It's always good to experience that and see
people enjoying themselves. Other than that, derby season is on and I hope everybody has fun
with the events they like to attend and wait for the two weeks of partying for two minutes of
racing."
