WAIZ MAYOR ATTEST: PEGGY'"~ILDER, CLERK AND TREASURER HISTORIC LANDMARKS FOU N DATION OF INDIANA Southern Regional Office 1 t'5 West Chestnut Street Jeffersonville, IN 47'130 8122844534 Fax: 812 285 9923 southO_~historiclanclmarks.org w~vw. historiciandmarks.org January 21, 2005 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 Page 2 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 January 21,200'5 Page 3 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 Page 4 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.

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 II.
