The Honorable Mayor Rob Waiz
Jeffersonvilte City Council
City-Count3~ Building
Jeffersonville, IN 47130
Dear Mayor Waiz and Members of ~e Jeffersonvitle City Council:
As you a~vare, the Historic Landmarks Founda,tion~of Indiana (Historic Landmarks)
ant{ Jeff-Clark Preservation (Jeff-Clark) have been working in good faith over the
past several months to achieve a solution to save. the historic Harold Perrin house
from demolition for the Pertain P.0int~ development. We have appreciat'ed Neal
Harding's//Cherokee River H_C's willingness, to work with us. Both Historic.
Landmarks and Jeff-Clark believed that we had. found an.approach that ~vould ~
have allosved the organizations involve'd to feasibly move the house out of. harm's
~vay to the lot next door. At its.n.esv location it xv0uld ha;ye bee~...~tabilized, Placed
on a new foundation, and then sold to a preserVation-mindedbuyer 5vith a
preservadon easement to protect and preserve the-property for furore generations.
To this end, Historic Landmarks had made an unprecedented loan commitrnent of
$120,000. to Jeff-Clark.to pursue the house move project.
It ~vas our understanding from the veU- beginning of our discussions with the
Perrin Family Park Foundation in August 2004 that the roughly 2.4 acre lot in
question tonight could be purchased for the purpose of relocating the Perrin
House sz~bjec//o the co,ser~a/io, easeme,ta,d a,.-addit/o,a/30'a~ess e. a~emer~/.
The sales price of the lot was to be the MAI appraised value of the property. At
the time of our initial meeting with the Perrin Family Park Foundation, ~ve 5vere
instructed to hire an MAI appraiser to perform the appraisal which was
accomplished though the service.s of Bell, Fore & Mitchell. The appraisal made
the assumption 'that the market va!ueOf the parcel 5vould be sub.}ect to some
development restrictions (i.e., the conservation, easement and the..access easement)
a's mandated by the Perrin Family Park Foundation. The value arrived at through
the appraisal xvas $70,000, This value fQr the.lotmade the entire project feasible
based on our conversation's ~vith a. qualified zeal eState.professional ~vho believed[
.that we could realistically recoup our expenses. Making a profit on the deal was
not a part of the equation -xve simply ~vanted to save this house for the benefit .of
preserving Jeffersonville's heritage and hopefully be able to recoup our initial
investment. The appraisal and the project were brought before the Perrin Family
Park Foundation and discussed with us with no indication at the time that there
~vas any issue with the appraisal.
January 21, 2005

Imagine our surprise and-shock when we failed to receive any formal response '
from the Perrin Family Park Foundation following our October 13, 2004, meeting
and learned subsequently of a behind-closed-doors negotiation that has resulted m
a deal being struck to sell the subject parcel to Cherokee River ~ for the
rt~mored amount of $200,000. Moreover, the sale would involve an agreed'upor.~
move to extinguish the conservation easement that had provided protection of this
parcel from the very development no~v contemplated. The organizations that had
Worked in good faith t° save the Perrin House and had instigated the sale of the
adjoining property now were shoved out of the deal and the Perrin HouSe was 'left
"odd man out" with no feasible alternative for relocation.
In light of these recent developments, Historic Landmarks' Foundation of Indiana
has privately urged representatives of the Perrin Family Park Foundation to
reconsider an inidal request to move the house to park property,. The sale of this
piece of property would certainly cover the costs of the move. The relocated
house would provide space for meeting rooms, a possible retreat' center, or '
housing for the park manager- any of xvhich could complement the park. More
importantly, an effort to save the house xvould pay homage to the memo-~3r of
Harold and I~therine Perrin who gave so generously to this community. As of
no,v, hoxvever, representatives of the Park Board have indicated that utilization of
the house is not a part of their mission.
As the City Council considers the extinguishing of'the conservatiOn easement on
this property, I would ask that you take into account the follo~ving'
1) Removing the easement violates the intent of thepermanentprotection that an
easem en t affo. rds. The easement was granted in perpetui~ xvhich means
forever. Removing the easement sets a dangerous prece'dent-that violates the
intentiOns of Harold Perrin. The recorded easement has as its stated purpose,
as defined on page i of the document "the retaining orprotectin£ of hard, re,
scenic or open space value(s) of rea/proper~ and assuring its availabi/i~br
agricuOural, forest, recreational, or open .pace use". The easement document,
which is offered as an exhibit tonight, goes on to spell out in detail
prohibitions about development and subdivision of the land. If this easement
is removed from this properS, what mechanism will be instituted to ensure
that the open space that is provided for in this development remains protected
from' the whims of future propert3~ owners and local lawma'kers?
2) The s~bject tract is located along the na'tional[y designated Ohio P~'ver Scenic
/3~y~vaff thus protection of the Character of this property' through the recorded
Scenic, Open Space, and Conservation Easement is important.
3) The recorded easementcurrent~ restricts development on theproper~ zvhich, in
t.~/rn,protects unk~otpn archeologica/reso, urces and h~man remains_from

being disturbed. Considerable discussion has been focussed on the location of
Richmond Plantation and of the .cemetery which likely contains the remains of
Michel Lacassagne. If these resources are indeed located on this property, they
are now protected by provisions of the easement that prohibit ground-
disturbing activities from occurring 'on the property. It would be irresponsible'"
and not within the public interest to allow this to happen. Before the Ci~
extinguishes the easement on. this property, it should require that the Perrin
Family Park Foundation or the developer undertake an investigation of the
property under the auspices of a qualified archaeologist using gr°und
penetrating radar or other available technology to ensure
that the cemetery is not located on this property. If remains are found, a plan
should be developed to address those remains. (Historic Landmarks
Foundation of Indiana and Jeff-Clark Preservation had intended to have. a .......
qualified archaeologist survey the area where the Perrin House ~vas to be
relocated to ensure that no human remains would be disturbed.) This survey
should be required as a condition of the release of the easement to ensure that
there is no further damage to the community's heritage which is certainly
within the realm of the public interest.
developer agreeing to retain the house aspartof the development. As we
indicated initially to the developer, retaining and utilizing the house in the
development would help to create a signature development. Planned Unit
.
Developments (PUDs) should reflect unique and creative design. While the
development plan, per se, is not the focus of tonight's meeting, the City could.
influence the direction of the developer in this regard by making prese~wafion
of the house a condition of the approval. It is my understanding that.
preservation of the house ~vas on the table as part of this deal originally, but
was later removed.
5,) To sa~y that t-Iaro/d Perrin 's decision to. include this proper/)' as'part of the
easement mas simjo~y a ~ax consideration so as to provide ajustificaSon to
extinguish it is to dishonor and diminish the contributions of a famiD' that
forfei/ed profit to preserve land for a communi~ park. Certainly an easement
provides tax benefits to the one who grants it. However, this hardly is the
motivation for many who forgo profit and some of their property, rights to o£f~r
the hi'ghest level of protect that the law affords.
JanUary 21, 2005

In closing, HistOric Landmarks Foundation of Indiana fears that the Perrin House
will likely be lost given these recent mrn of events. We urge the Cit3~ of
Jeffersonville to be mindful of the ramifications of this 'decision. The City must
always maintain the public trust which, in this case, is inherent in assuming the
responsibility for holding a land conservation easement. Lasdy, al~vays remember
that the City's natural, open space, and built heritage is irreplaceable and that its
loss diminishes the community both tangibly and intangibly forever.
Sincerely,
la, AICP .
Director, Southern Regional Office
State of the JeffersonVille City COuncil
January 24, 2005
I am pleased to present the second state of the City Council report to the residents of the City.
The activity of the first six months of 2004 were reported in a message on July 20, 2004 and this report
covers the last six months of 2004 and the City Council's vision and goals for 2005.
The last six months' of Council activity were consumed with matters of budgeting, law suits, zoning,
police and fire contracts, examining rates the City charges for services, reviewing the City's self :funded
health insurance costs and contribution by employees, along with the normal activities of approving
claims, making necessary appropriations and transfers, passing a new salary ordinance and bringing the
City into compliance with various State and Federal regulations regarding storm water control, flood
plain management, etc. Additionally, the Council in its desire to continue progress in the City has begun
to examine.the practices currently used to encourage and promote development in the City with the idea
of updating those practices to reflect current economic realities and to better administer, track, analyze
and control those practices.
The budgeting process for the City is currently made very difficult by the fact the City does not Imow its
revenues. As nearly everyone is aware, a court ordered new assessment has delayed the billing of
property taxes for nearly two years with collections for the year 2003 only recently received. Property
taxes for 2004 have not yet been billed and the budget the city passed was for 2005. The City has been
operating on borrowed funds for the last two years and will cominue to operate on borrowed funds in
2005. The effect of the reassessment on tax collections is unknown. What is known is that the City has
budgeted and appropriated funds in excess of the amount of property taxes it can legally bill and collect.
The City is relying on additional revenues generated by new income tax revenues to pay the
appropriations in excess of the property taxes levied. It can be safely said that without these new
revenues the City would have been forced to cut services. The budget process was not taken lig~htly and
virtually all expenditures except a 3% increase in salaries and related benefits, property and health
insurance costs and gasoline were frozen at levels less than those in effect for the 2000 budget year.
Additionally, the City found itself appropriating approximately $500,000 in additional funds for 2004
which were not available in the 2004 budget but which mounts were imperative to fund. The under
funding of the 2004 budget was the result of salary costs, ADA costs, health insurance, property and
casualty insurance, gasoline and salary related costs. Additionally, the Council appropriated ftmds set
aside for capital improvements to provide essemial equipment for the safety of police and firefighters.
Needless to say the City finds itself in a very challenging situation fiscally for 2005.
Law...Suits
Without getting into the specifics of pending litigation, the City Council expended considerable time and
energy in dealing with legal matters. The City Council hired its own counsel for legal advice to avoid as
nearly as possible furore litigation and to receive independent advice on legal matters of concern.
Unfortunately, it is not uncommon today for legal matters and litigation to take up considerably more
time energy and funds than is warranted in both the private and public sectors. The City has been
represented with excellent counsel and is hopeful that all litigation will ultimately be resolved in court in
the City's favor or by negotiation with nominal costs.
Zoning continues to be a matter of much concern to the citizens of Jeffersonville. The use of property
and how it affects neighbors is a.matter that must be taken very seriously and with much study and
process. Tonight we began the process to resolve serous issues of zoning on the Perrin Point project
and recently meetings held with residents in the Hoskins Lane and surrounding area were undertaken to
resolve issues of development in that area. The Council is encouraged that these efforts have me~t with
positive response and all parties have worked in good faith with intelligent discourse and in a positive
manner to solve issues that are deeply meaningful to participants on both sides. Rarely can anyone
receive everything desired but with intelligent discussion many times reasonable compromise be~,a for all
concerned can be achieved. This Council is committed to that process on all matters zoning and
otherwise~
Police.._and Firefighters.Co~ntracts
The'city council ratified employment contracts with the police and firefighter unions the result of
months of negotiations with each union. The City is blessed with outstanding service from its
professionals in the areas of public safety and security. It is of primary importance and emphasis that the
City of Jeffersonville be safe and secure for all of its residents. There is no matter of more importance
and to that end the City spends the majority of its budget. Maintaining qualified professionals is
essential and that requires paying competitive wages, adequate training and modem equipment in good
condition. The City Council is pleased that it was able to ratify the four year contracts satisfactory to
both unions and the City.
Rates. for. City_.. Se ..rvices
~irtually all rotes for City services were studied and raised to bring them in line with neighboring
communities and to allow for funds needed to meet environmental and service demands. While the most
public attention was on fees for sewer services and tap in fees all fees in the building commissioners
office were also examined and those services fees were increased to reflect current economic realities.
The City Council would be remiss in its duties and would jeopardize the City's future if it did not review
the costs and revenues to provide sufficient and modem sanitary sewer systems for its residents. While
the Council has approved increases, it recognizees its responsibility to see that those increased fees are
invested wisely and frugally. Furore sanitary sewer costs to bring the City into environmental
compliance and to provide for furore needs are staggering. The raise in rates will carry us only fbr three
or four years and may be small in comparison to what is to come in the City's 20 year plan for dealing
with future requirements of sanitary, storm sewers and the combined sewers in the downtown area. This
Council understands that it is essential to see that these needed services are provided in the most
economical and efficient manner.
Health. In~ ~an. ce..Costs
While many matters the City Council dealt with over the last six months had proponems and op. ponents
who were passionate and vocal in their beliefs and opinions, none were more so than those affected by
the City's self funded insurance plan. At all times during the process the employees expressed their
concerns with persuasive and intelligent arguments. To many employees on the lower end of the City's
pay scale it may not seem so, but I believe the Council increased those Employee costs as little as
possible without being irresponsible. By irresponsible I mean jeopardizing the em[re fiscal stability of
examined closely by a Council committee which will report to the Council the anticipated revem~es and
obligations currently in the TIFs and projections of future cash flow.
Deparm~e.n.t of Redevelopment
Th~ Department of Redevelopment has traditionally been the economic developmem arm of the City and
as such plays a vital role in the financial well being of the City. The Jeffersonville City Council .desires
the Department become pro active in development not for the sake of development but because
economic development is essential to the citizens of Jeffersonville. Economic development provides
employment oppommities necessary to maintain and improve the citizens standard of living. This
function of government is second only to the safety and health of the citizens. TO this end the City
Council will encourage, support, cooperate with and to the extent possible empower the Depamnent of
Redevelopment to fulfill its very important mission.
E.t....hics Co .m~...ission
The City Council will appoint one of its members to be the liaison with the Ethics Commission. It will
encourage the Ethics Commission to review issues of Council meeting decorum and to recommend
policies to be established for the conduct of Council meetings. These policies should assure thai: the
conduct of meetings encourages discussion of issues in an orderly and constructive manner. The policies
will define what is acceptable and what is not acceptable conduct in the course of a meeting in addition
to proper protocol. The Commission will be asked to review and recommend policies regarding ethical
considerations in hiring of employees including considerations regarding race, gender, religion, nepotism
and any other matter it considers relevant to ethical practices in government. The ethics commission
will also be asked t° review, revise or create any policies relating to conflicts of interest both personal
and economic.
In' closing, I want to thank the Mayor Waiz, City Attorney Merkley, Attorney Wilder, Police UnJ[on
Presidem Broady and his negotiating committee, Firefighter Union President Growe and his negotiating
committee, Redevelopment Director Cahill, Human Resources Director Calabro the entire office of the
Clerk Treasurer and Council attorney Morris with whom I worked during the last year and many City
Employees who extended me every courtesy and cooperation enabling me to do my job on the City
Council. Most especially I owe a sincere and deep gratitude to my fellow Council persons. We had a
rough start but during the year we developed what I thought was a sincere respect for the job each of us
were trying to do. We frequently had differences but usually worked long and hard until we resolved
those differences. And when those differences could not be resolved we let them go and went to the
next issue in a professional manner. I could not have asked to work with better people and you have my
deepest respect for you dedication, commitment and competence.
Respecrfully submitted,
Phil McCauley,~-
President, Jeffersonville City Council 2004
the plan. In essence, the Council increased employee costs to 20% of total costs with the City paying the
remaining 80% over a two year period. At the same time benefits on co pays were increased. Tlfis, in
the opinion of the Council, was necessary and when combined with major increases in appropriations
from the City's general fund was designed to keep the plan solvem barring unforeseen increases in costs.
Health insurance costs are a significant challenge in the future not only to the City of Jeffersonville but
to citizens and businesses across the nation. There is little doubt that if costs continue to increase as it
appears they likely will, new and drastic action will be required in coming years.
Loohn~ Forward m.2005
The year of 2005 will be one of creating and modernizing policies and processes for government in
Jeffersonville. Additionally, there will be those unforeseen challenges and oppommities which ~11
consume many hours of discussion and action. As 2004 closed out, the City Council established
committees to review the tax abatement process, the revolving loan process, and to examine and report
on the financial condition of the various TIF districts created. The Council has expressed the desire for
the Department of Redevelopment to become pro active in the vital issues of economic development and
redevelopment. The Council has also expressed its desire for the ethics commission to review and
recommend enhancements to certain practices and ~procedures in the City. Because of the problems of
unknown revenues, fiscal budgetary challenges, TIF obligations, tax abatement analysis, major sewer
expansions anticipated and other matters the Council will examine closely how it might become better
informed and educated on the City's financial decisions. Following are some specifics that will be
happening in 2005.
T~ Abatement Review
The City's guidelines used to determine whether to grant abatements and to what extent need a complete
overhaul. · The existing policy established in 1997 has been outdated by the passing of new income tax
legislation and a new set of policies needs to be established. Additionally, responsibility for tracking and
monitoring of abatements must be assigned and reporting made to the Council. And finally, a contract
must be developed for abatement recipients outlining clearly the terms of the abatement and the legal
responsibilities of the recipient of the abatement. Non adherence to these contractual obligations will
result in swift action by the Council as to the penalties imposed by the contract.
Revolving Loans.
The City Council will review and update loan, reporting and collection policies in addition to
reevaluating the number of members of the Revolving Loan Committee and how the membership is
established. A review of the effectiveness of past revolving loans will be undertaken and
recommendations to the Council will be made regarding current loans outstanding with actions
recommended to be undertaken.
TIF Disfficts
TIFs are one of the most successful tools available in the State of Indiana for current and future
economic development. In the early years of TIFs they are nearly always burdened with debt from
examined closely by a Council committee which will report to the Council the anticipated revenues and
obligations currently in the TIFs and projections of future cash flow.

Discussion of second opinion on 20 year Sewer Master
Plan
I believe it is in the best interest of the city to increase its sewer capacity to allow for
future gro~vth m~d CSO resolution. However, based on the size and scope of this
project I also believe it is important to get a second opinion on our overall 20 year
sewer master plan.
Here are my questions and discussion points:
1) Do xve want a Second opinion on Expand (Option 1) vs New Build (Option2)? - Yes
2') Does the currem RFQ specs address a review of Option 1 vs Option 2? -No
3) The largest costs of Option 1 is the expansion costs do we want this rewewed ? -Yes
4') The largest costs of Option 2 is new construction do we want this reviewed? - Yes
5) Do we kmow the additional operating costs or projected land acquisition costs as a
result of either option?
-No
6) Would the change in operating costs or acquisition costs be large enough to
change our option decision?
- Maybe?
7') Is it' xvise to hold 6 MGD capacity as described in the RFQ? - Don't know?
8') Does the council want to contract an engineering firm to get a second opinion on
Option 1 vs Option 2?
- In my opinion Yes
