1. Matt Hall with 1SI 2026-R-4 Resolution Approving Statement of Benefits for Proposed
Personal Property Tax Abatement for Welbilt FSG Operations, LLC
President Reed introduced the next item on the agenda and welcomed Matt Hall to step
forward to speak.
Matt Hall thanked the council for considering Project 360 and introduced Jeff Holcomb with
Welbilt, the company considering Indiana, along with two other states and additional
properties, for the potential location of a multimillion-dollar project on Keystone Boulevard in
Jeffersonville. He expressed excitement about the creation of 44 new jobs associated with the
project, noting that the positions would pay well above the county average wage. He added that
the company completed the City of Jeffersonville's questionnaire and scored 106 points, well
above the 100-point benchmark, on items that are of interest to the city. He explained that the
request before the council involved two tax abatements to support the project by allowing the
company to phase in new property taxes. He outlined a proposal of 10 years for real property
and five years for qualifying personal property. Mr. Hall explained that the 10-year savings
would total $1.7 million, while the 10-year net benefit after the abatement would be $1.2
million, in addition to the 44 new jobs paying above the county average wage. He also
referenced benefits to surrounding municipalities and added that in addition to the 44 new jobs,
the project is expected to generate 27 and a half spin-off jobs. He concluded by respectfully
requesting consideration of the two tax abatements, emphasizing that the project would be
beneficial for Jeffersonville and noting the importance of remaining competitive as the company
is also considering locations in Kentucky and Tennessee. Mr. Hall then gave the floor to Jeff
Holcomb, who also thanked the council for their consideration, adding that he would be happy
to answer any of the questions they may have.
Councilperson Webb: "Any idea, if you start, when would start and completion date would be?"
Mr. Holcomb: "I believe it would be mid-2027"
Vice President Burns: "When will you decide whether it's Indiana, Kentucky, or Tennessee?"
Mr. Holcomb: "We should have a decision this week. That relies heavily on the tax abatements.
We these very seriously. We take our commitment very seriously. We do like this area, the
proximity to the interstates, the fine universities where we can access good talent. So, again,
looking forward to your decision."
President Reed: "So I was looking over your proposal, and it looks like the jobs are around $30
an hour, which is well within people being able to live and make Jeffersonville their home, which
I love. It looks like you're investing about $16 million in infrastructure, building costs, things of
that nature, correct?"
Mr. Holcomb: "Yes."
President Reed: "Wonderful, and you're really improving the area. I really loved the statement
that you had on here where you want to have local partnerships and donations, working with
the community and volunteerism. Can you tell me about how that works with your company
currently?"
Mr. Holcomb: "So we do charities and things in the area with some of the other businesses that
we own. And we do a lot with, as I said before, the universities. We do practicum projects and
R&D projects with the students. So, I think two, three times a year, we host food drives, clothing
drives and make donations within the local area with our existing footprint."
President Reed: "I love that. A lot of times, I think in our community, people hear the word tax
abatement, and they assume that a company is not paying taxes. But really what we're giving
them is a period to phase in their taxation so that they can invest that$16 million in improving
that area and giving us quality jobs. So at the end of the abatement, the taxation for that area is
actually going to be higher in valuation than it is currently. So our city really makes money on
this, and hopefully we get a good partner who wants to help our local schools and our charities
and things of that nature."
Councilperson Semones: "If you're looking to partner with higher education in the area,
Councilperson Reed is your go to person. And of course, we all like the idea of property
improvement, investment in the community, higher paying jobs. Ms. Reed actually asked the
questions I was going to ask, how are you going to invest in our community in other less tangible
ways? So, I'm a yes on this project, and I think we have a lot to offer your company as being kind
of a transportation hub. Thank you for bringing this opportunity before our city."
Councilperson White: "So, currently your headquarters is in New Albany?"
Mr. Holcomb: "So our headquarters is in Chicago. We have an office in New Albany."
Mr. Hall: "But this doesn't affect that operation at all."
Mr. Holcomb: "No."
Councilperson White: "Right, so I was reading that summary, it looked closer to your
headquarters, so closer to Chicago I guess."
Mr. Holcomb: "Yes."
Councilperson White: "But you have something in New Albany, and now you're looking to
expand in Jeffersonville as well, potentially."
Mr. Holcomb: "Yes sir."
Councilperson White: "I appreciate that you're looking at Jeffersonville, and hopefully this will
seal the deal when we approve this tonight. If you need something else, please let us know."
Councilperson Hawkins: "Lastly, I can throw on that it came before redevelopment in our last
redevelopment meeting. It was unanimous to award, and I would like to point out, kind of re-
touch on what Matt said. They were over 100, which for all purposes is a very good score,
checks all the boxes that we want. Ms. Reed mentioned that people kind of have a weird idea of
what tax abatements are. People think that everyone that comes before this board, I think I can
remember one saying no, but that doesn't cover the ones that never made it this far. There's
plenty that die along the way because they're not going to keep pushing if they only scored a 70
on our score sheet. So they know it's going to be a no, so then it dies on its own. So this isn't, in
my view, a rubber stamp situation in any way. It's checked all the boxes that we have set out as
a redevelopment commission want to have checked and more so. We've said yes to much lesser
projects. So, I'll be a yes, and I would urge other people to join me."
Councilperson Webb: "I appreciate you reaching out. I know Matt reached out to me, and I think
they got 106?"
Councilperson Hawkins: "Yeah 106, it's good."
Councilperson Webb: "If we get this done tonight, we hope that you will put your roots in here."
Councilperson Snelling: "I talked to Matt today, and I'm a yes for this also."
Councilperson Stoner: "I'll chime in and say that I really appreciate the way that, Matt, you and
your team at 151, have responded to the changing climate around tax abatements, and that it's a
conversation obviously around the state. I just appreciate your all's commitment to education. I
think that's the most important thing, and factual information. So I appreciate that."
President Reed: "For me, $16 million invested to make our area better, $30 an hour jobs, and
giving back to our community. That's everything we want in a company here in Jeffersonville."
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve Resolution 2026-R-4, seconded by Council
Vice President Burns; motion passed, 9-0.
2. Matt Hall with 1SI 2026-R-5 Resolution Approving Statement of Benefits for Proposed
Real Property Tax Abatement for Koetter Investment Partners, LLC
Matt Hall continued with the next item on the agenda, informing the council that the next
resolution was also tied to the same project. He noted that one resolution was completed for
personal property and a separate one for real estate, and clarified that this resolution addressed
the real estate portion.
There were no questions or discussion from the council.
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve Resolution 2026-R-5, seconded by Council
Vice President Burns; motion passed, 9-0.
3. Nick Lawrence with The Wheatley Group 2026-R-6 Resolution Approving Statement of
Benefits for Proposed Real Property Tax Abatement for Outrigger Industrial, LLC
President Reed introduced the next item on the agenda, she also informed the council that Evan
Shive, with The Weatley Group, would be speaking in place of Nick Lawrence. President Reed
then gave the floor to Mr. Shive.
Evan Shive thanked the council for having them and explained that The Wheatley Group has
been working with Outrigger Industrial on a new development in the Northport Business Center.
He shared that Outrigger is proposing the construction of three Class A industrial facilities,
ranging in size from 100,000 square feet to 300,000 square feet, with access from Centennial
Boulevard. He noted that the land has been vacant for many years and that the project is
expected to involve a capital investment of more than $60 million. He explained that the
abatement request before the council would grant each building a 10-year, 50% per year tax
abatement, which he described as consistent with incentives provided by River Ridge for their
projects. He added that, with the abatement, Outrigger is expected to pay more than $580,000
upon full build-out, along with over$42,000 in annual abatement fees. He further explained that
once the abatement period ends, anticipated real property taxes are expected to exceed $1
million. He also noted that the project received unanimous approval at the last redevelopment
commission meeting and that Outrigger agreed to certain development terms where they would
deliver tenants at or above 110%of the county average wage. He concluded by introducing
Adam Niemeyer, who was present to answer any additional questions.
Adam Niemeyer also thanked the council for having them and for considering the project. He
explained that he is with Outrigger Industrial and is based in Columbus, Ohio, while the
company is headquartered in Chicago. He shared that the company has completed speculative
industrial projects across the country and added that Jeffersonville has been great to work with
so far. He expressed excitement about the project and offered to answer any questions.
Councilperson Hawkins: "If you guys didn't notice, something that I found interesting in the
agreement is if they do not have tenants that reach the 110%threshold, then the tax
abatement, this cancels this agreement. So we're guaranteeing that we're going to be well
above the county average and starting to move that county average up. So I thought that was
something that was interesting in this agreement that I'd share."
President Reed: "So looking at this project, I love Ports of Indiana. I think they're an unsung gem
in our area that do so much for our community. So tell me, you say over 110% of county wage.
What are the starting wages?"
Mr. Shive: "If Outrigger didn't deliver tenants that had that wage threshold, they would pay the
difference to remain in compliance."
President Reed: "Perfect, and what's the investment that you're making in our community?"
Mr. Shive: "So total investment is over$61.9 million, that's over three industrial buildings."
Councilperson Hawkins: "Didn't we talk, thinking of maybe doing two then one? Refresh my
memory."
Mr. Niemeyer: "That's what we were thinking, but we think we're going to go on all three
buildings at the same time. So the goal is to start construction this summer and deliver the
buildings summer, fall of 2027 is the goal."
President Reed: "And again, for me, what was the score again on the redevelopment spot?"
Councilperson Hawkins: "I don't remember the score."
Mr. Shive: "Yeah, so in lieu of doing the project score, because there's not an actually tenant.
That's why we went down the route of agreeing to the terms of 110%."
President Reed: "Oh, I see."
Councilperson Hawkins: "Because they go get the tenant, so we couldn't score because there is
no tenant."
Councilperson Semones: "So they're basically landlords?"
Councilperson Hawkins: "Yeah, speculative commercial. They build the buildings."
Councilperson Semones: "Oh, I've heard of that, speculative and industrial buildings."
Mr. Niemeyer: "Yeah, so we're a little different than the group that spoke before us. So we are
the landlord, we are the developer, we build the buildings and then we attract tenants to lease
those buildings from us. Since we've been under contract on this land, last October, we've
already started marketing this project to potential tenants. We had a potential build-to-suit that
was in Louisville and was considering moving over to the Indiana side. They had 60 jobs at $33
an hour. They were a roll form manufacturing company. So folks like that or folks like these
guys, are some of the tenants that we want to attract. We think now is the right time for this
project,just given the positive momentum in the market, in the Louisville market in general, and
the River Ridge speculative moratorium. So River Ridge, right now you can't build any more
industrial buildings, so we feel like that has enabled us to look at this site, and we're really
excited about the highway access, the visibility from the highway of our particular site, and all
the amenities on 10th Street. We think it's going to show really well and attract some high-
quality tenants for the city."
"They'reh
President Reed: saying that they are going to ensure that the jobst are offered here that
are going to be above county wage, and they're doing $61.9 million in investment, which will net
us a much higher taxation rate for this area in the 10 years. So for me, it's a yes again, because
it's just an investment for us. We will definitely see the dividends from this, especially with the
caveats that are built into this. I don't know if anybody sees the negatives on this. I'm sure, Ms.
Semones,you probably want to ask about the community impact also."
Councilperson Semones: "Well, I don't know if they're, you know, as landlords, I don't know."
President Reed: "I think anybody can impact a community."
Councilperson Stoner: "I've got a quick question for the developer. A little bit off-topic, but can
you just sort of broadly, for just a moment, speak about how important workforce development
is for people like yourself and for companies like yourself, for preparing that workforce to be
ready to step into those roles?"
Mr. Niemeyer: "Yeah, absolutely. I mean, labor is one of the most important factors as we're
considering sites. And we have kind of our own internal system, and our partners have their
internal systems that score labor capability. And this site in particular, from a 5 to 10 to 15-mile
radius, was one of the best scores of any sites we've looked at in the past. So having a diverse
labor base is super important to us and how we identify sites."
Councilperson Stoner: "Wonderful, and I just mention that just to point out to the council again,
each of these incentives will come with a participation fee, and I believe it totals around half a
million dollars. Last year, in 2024, this council provided funding to support a business incubator
and learning lab at the library, which in turn now is investing in our entrepreneurs that are
coming from lower incomes, or coming from places where they don't have those resources. I'm
just very passionate in really giving everybody that opportunity, and so I appreciate, along with
these incentive programs, that we're also receiving those participation fees. I really think we
need to think intentionally and seriously about how we reinvest that into the community to
support the workforce development efforts that we're trying to achieve across our city."
President Reed: "Ms. Semones, were you done with your question?"
Councilperson Semones: "I think my question was, the abatement's a 10 year. Is that kind of the
stopgap that they have between,you know, they don't bring in tenants who provide jobs at that
rate? Is that only good for the 10 years?"
Councilperson Hawkins: "Yeah, I would think so."
Mr. Niemeyer: "Yeah, so there's a 12-month period, a grace period essentially, to lease the
buildings, and then the abatement starts at the end of that 12-month period."
Councilperson Semones: "Is there any world in which you build this out there and in 10 years we
have a bunch of empty buildings and no tenants?"
Mr. Niemeyer: "I think that's very unlikely."
Councilperson Hawkins: "They have a bunch of buildings with no tenants."
Councilperson Webb: "The owners are still paying taxes."
President Reed: "It's still paying taxes on $61.9 million."
Mr. Niemeyer: "Yeah, and I mean, supply, demand, and along with labor is something we really
look at. If we didn't think we would be leasing these buildings for 10 years, we would not be
putting up $60 million. So we really study how many leases have gotten done in the area, how
much available supply is there. Very simple supply and demand exercise really, to feel good
about our leasing prospects prior to investing the capital."
President Reed: "So for me, this is putting money aside now, and in 10 years, hopefully we will
have a very substantial payback in our taxation base."
There were no further questions or discussion from the council.
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve Resolution 2026-R-6, seconded by
Councilperson Webb; motion passed, 9-0.
4. Heather Metcalf 2026-OR-17 Ordinance of Additional Appropriation
President Reed introduced the next item on the agenda and gave the floor to Heather Metcalf,
City Controller.
Ms. Metcalf informed the council that all of the items are appropriating cash that has already
been received either from reimbursements or refunds. She added that the last item referenced
the new fund that was just approved to pay for the Flock payment for the year. President Reed
asked for confirmation that none of the items were new monies, which Ms. Metcalf confirmed
to be correct.
There were no further questions or discussion from the council.
Councilperson Hawkins made a motion to approve Ordinance 2026-OR-17 on the 1st and 2nd
reading, seconded by Council Vice President Burns; motion passed, 9-0.

DEPARTMENT HEADS:
None
COUNCIL COMMENTS:
• Councilperson White— No comment.
• Council Vice President Burns—"Don't forget to get out and vote tomorrow."
• Councilperson Semones—No comment.
• Councilperson Anderson— No comment.
• Council President Reed— "Everybody get out and vote. Also, I wanted to give you guys an
update. Our opioid committee will be coming to present to you guys the first meeting in June
just on some of their recommendations that they've come to, as well as River Ridge will be at
that meeting to give us kind of an annual update along with the funding that they provided us
with this year. But if there is nothing else?"
Councilperson Snelling: "I've got one thing. When are we going to have an executive meeting so
we can talk about MUST?"
President Reed: "Okay yes, I do have an update on that. I've been working with our county
council president. Since they are technically the one under the ordinance that sets that meeting,
he plans to have that out to us within the next week or so. But I did ask Mr. Wilder to give us
some comments, if he had some feedback on how we could attend that, what is appropriate in
attending that. The floor is yours, Mr. Wilder."
Larry Wilder, City Council Attorney: "Everybody is aware of what she's referring to, MUST?"
Councilperson Semones: "Well the public isn't."
Mr. Wilder: "Well, so what has happened is there's some movement that has happened in the
state legislature to begin to allow the municipalities to have some input into potentially how
local income tax is distributed. What's important for you all, what I was going to suggest, is that
you all need to come together, and I would suggest it's not a formal committee or anything,
start to talk about where you're going to be when it comes to the issue of how you negotiate.
Because it must be a unanimous decision if there's going to be any distributions that vary from
just the general, "We're the county council, we're going to make the decisions." And to say this
in public, because I guess it's kind of saying what your negotiating position would be, but it's
important because one person, one entity can keep the whole package from happening. So you
probably need to start having conversations with all of your cohorts about what their intentions
are. And then if everyone gets to a place where we think they have a deal, then the City of
Jeffersonville needs to know what our deal would be, if there is a desire to add disproportionate
distributions as a LIT path."
President Reed: "Would you suggest that be an executive session or just a separate meeting?"
Mr. Wilder: "For this body, this team needs to think about how if we could put an executive
session of negotiation for various negotiations. Let me see what I can figure out."
President Reed: "Ok."
Councilperson Semones: "Mr. Wilder, can you tell the folks at home how many entities we're
talking about would have to reach a unanimous decision for the deviation?That's like 40, right?"
Mr. Wilder: "Right, and then it does exclude the fire districts and the other entities. They don't
get to participate."
Councilperson Semones: "I remember the list from when we were doing the fire territory. It was
like 39 or 41 entities, you're saying would have to reach a unanimous decision if there's any
deviation."
Mr. Wilder: "Right."
Councilperson Semones: "So that seems unlikely."
President Reed: "We do have the choice to pull out of the negotiations at any point."
Councilperson Snelling: "We can go on our own, right? We can go out on our own at 1.2 or 1.5?"
President Reed: "1.2."
Councilperson Snelling: "1.2, so we don't have to. Wherever we come out ahead, ok?And the
city would probably come out better than a local town because it would probably take money
away from all the towns."
President Reed: "I'm speaking to several of the entities. They are looking at that option, they are
a lot smaller than us."
Councilperson Semones: "Looking at pulling out also?"
Councilperson Snelling: "We need to look at coming out the best. I'm sorry but I'm from
Jeffersonville."
Mr. Wilder: "So, what I would recommend, what I was going to say to everyone is I want to tap,
and I know that it's been brought up, ask the affable controller."
Heather Metcalf, City Controller: "I know I have to be a part of that."
Mr. Wilder: "Right, but maybe just give a determination of where you're at if nothing happens,
and one entity can make nothing happen. They go out on the 1.2."
Councilperson Stoner: "Well, is that being assessed right now?Are we looking at that, the city?"
Ms. Metcalf: "They're going to look at that with AIM."
Councilperson Stoner: "Ok, but we're not doing anything with Bakertilly right now?"
Ms. Metcalf: "No."
Mr. Wilder: "And to Ms. Semones' point, in order for there to be a unanimous decision, there
would have to be some extremely adroit negotiations, because for Jeffersonville to get more
than what they can just get, 1.2, there's got to be a reason for other entities to join in, and
anybody that approves the deal. So frankly, you're using a whole lot of energy for no reason if
you have someone who just tells you, like the Utica Town Board says, "Oh, no way." Why
bother?"
Councilperson White: "Whose authority is it to this decision? From the city's perspective."
Mr. Wilder: "It's not an executive decision, that's a city council decision. The executive cannot
choose to be the decision-maker in this. This is one of your legislative functions."
Councilperson Snelling: "It has to be done by October 1st, am I correct?"
Mr. Wilder: "Yes. It's just, there's probably a whole lot of conversation with your cohorts."
Councilperson Snelling: "So when is the tax going away, 2028?"
Mr. Wilder: "Correct."
Councilperson Snelling: "So we have to act. Do you want to tell how much we're going to lose in
2028?"
Ms. Metcalf: "Either 16 or 18."
Councilperson Snelling: "We will lose when the local income tax goes away. There's a lot of
money going to go away, so we need to make some decisions on where we're going to recoup
or there's going to be consequences down the road."
Vice President Burns: "Don't we have to initiate the wheel tax by September as well?August or
September?"
Councilperson Snelling: "That's why I was asking for an executive session."
Vice President Burns: "I thought last meeting we were working on that, but I could be
mistaken."
Councilperson Webb: "We need to discuss these numbers."
President Reed: "Ok. Well, Mr. Wilder, if you could look into what it would take to get an
executive session for us so we can discuss all of these areas and make sure that we are prepared
for any negotiations that come our way, that would be wonderful. And then we'll clue Heather
in on all of our data needs for those sessions. Does that sound good for everybody?"
Vice President Burns: "Mr. Wilder can you check into the wheel tax as well? I believe that's
August or September."
Mr. Wilder: "Absolutely."
Councilperson Snelling: "Mr. Wilder, can you also check if we have to have a public hearing for
our executive meetings? Because it was brought up in the Zoom meeting that nobody knew if
we had to have a public hearing."
Mr. Wilder: "So an executive session by its nature would be a private executive session."
Councilperson Snelling: "But I think there were questions."
Councilperson Stoner: "About the MUST meetings, if they had to have a public hearing.
Mr. Wilder: "So there's no definitive answer that has been reached by the folks that created all
this. However, what I would suggest is that if more than a majority of any government body
meets, if there's any discussions that are going to lead to decision-making, it's not covered
under the open door, I would certainly jump up and down and scream."
Councilperson Snelling: "Thank you."
Councilperson Stoner: "But what they said on that call as well was that the purpose of these
meetings were going to be to work out the problems, and that they wanted local officials to
report back to the state legislators because they're going to continue working on changes."
Councilperson Snelling: "In 2027."
Councilperson Stoner: "With SEA 1, yes. I know right now you can implement it once and it's in
for three years, then we're going to have to do it annually after that."
President Reed: "I think I sent the slides from that meeting out to the entire council. So if you
did not get that, let me know. Ok, Mr. Wilder, you have your marching orders."
• Councilperson Webb— No comment.
• Councilperson Hawkins—"Yeah, do your civic duty tomorrow."
