the letter or the City will do the necessary work and bill the owner for the labor and material
plus $1,000.00 fine. In addition, before the building can be occupied a C of O inspection

RESOLUTION 03-R-14 CONFIRMING DAMAGES
City Attorney Galligan presented to the Board the fourth and final resolution on the Lewman
property sewer easement. She said the appraisal from James L. Bottorffis $29,100.00.
Attorney Dan Moore appeared on Mr. Lewman's behalf. Mr. Moore presented an appraisal
from Marvin Scbmidt establishing a value of $32,500.00 for the easement. Mr. Moore said
Mr. Lev~aan has several objections to his property being taken. One was that his notification
was not sufficient. Another is his concerns about how his 5 to 7 springs on the property will
be affected. He feels that blasting could have an effect on them. Attorney Moore said there
is also a conflict of interest on this issue because of City Attorney Galligan's interest in the
land that the sewers will serve. He said MayOr Galligan should not have voted on this issue
and he asked that the Board deny or stay any action. Developer Bob Lynn told the Board that
he met with Mr. Lewman and that Mr. Leman did have concerns about his springs but that
he knew that sewers are inevitable in that are0 eventually. Mr. Lynn assured Mr. Lewman
that any problem with the sewer or springs could be solved. Mayor Galligan stated that
development of homes with septic tanks would seriously damage the springs by polluting
them. Mr. Lynn told the Board that he is the ideed holder on the property. Attorney Fifer
representing Developer Bob Lynn said there is a need to aquire the property for an easement
and the taking has been completed except for the writing of the check. He said the City of
Charlestown has never said they would put sanitary sewers in if they annexed the area.
Attorney Filer said Mr. Lynn has made an investment and should get a return on it. He said
all of the delays have cost Mr. Lynn a lot of money. A hearing is set for May 7, 2003 on the
annexation issue. City Attorney Galligan said the Lewman property has been condenmed and
the damage portion and appraisal should be approved. Councilperson Frantz stated as he has
before that he doesn't think city sewers should be run outside the City. After much
discussion, Engineer Miller made the motion to approve granting $32,500.00 to Mr. Lewman
for the easement, seconded by Councilperso9 Frantz and carried unanimously.
215 WEST MARKET STREET
Building Comrmss~oner Gavin smd the property needs to be boarded up and is a safety issue.
Engineer Miller made the motion to approvei having the City board up the house, seconded by
Councilperson Frantz and carded unanimously. The owner has been properly notified.
PROPOSAL FOR FIXED ASSET 1NVENTOR~
Lincoln Cram of Cmm's Auction made a proposal to do the fixed asset inventory for
$17,500.00. It will include bm-coding of items worth $100.00 or more and will be on
Microsoft Excel. He said he could begin in the next several months. Councilperson Frantz
made the motion to approve the proposal pending funding, seconded by Engineer Miller and
carried unanimously.

BEFORE THE JEFFERSONVILLE BOARD OF PUBLIC WORKS
STATE OF INDIANA
IN RE THE MATTER OF
RICHARD LEWMAN
REMONSTRANCE AND OBJECTIONS OF RICHARD LEWMAN
Richard Lewman, by counsel, and without waiving objections to proceedings heretofore
now makes the following remonstrances before the Jeffersonville Board of Public Works on
April 28, 2003:
1 To the extent Jeffersonville ("City") through its Public Works Board ("Board")
begin proceedings to governmentally take easements or other aspects of Richard Leman under
the procedure of I.C. 34-24-2 et. seq., that procedure is constitutionally defective under
Meunonite Bd. of Missions v, Adams (1983) 462 U.S. 791 and Mullane v. Central Hanover Bank
& Trust (1950) 339 U.S. 306.
2 To the extent the City and the Board sought to invoke the procedures of I.C. 32-
24-2-6, those procedures are constitutionally defective because of lack of personal service before
the "taking" by the Resolution described in this section. Obviously, for there to be any
meaningful opportunity to file remonstrances as to the taking under I.C. 32-24-2-6 Resolution, a
person is entitled to notice reasonably calculated to apprise him/her of the governmental action
and afford him/her an opportunity to be prepared and to be heard in opposition to the "taking" of
the real estate interest at issue. Mere publication of the Resolution in a newspaper is not
sufficient to afford such notice and an opportunity to prepare an informed remonstrance as
described in I.C. 32-24-2-6(b) & (c).
3 To the extent that the City and the Board sought to utilize the procedures of I.C.
32-24-2~7 to take any interest in the Lewman real estate, that action was outside the scope and
purview of I.C. 32-24-2-6 (a) which allows this procedure for specific purposes that do not
include taking sewer easements that are not "in the municipality" which are unlikely to ever be
hooked up or connected under prevailing law with some other distant location or site. Under the
decision of Town ofP!ainfield v. Town of Avon (Ind. App. 2001 757 N.E.2d 705), the Indiana
Cou~ of Appeals:
"The right of a municipality to exercise its powers to provide sewer service
extraterritorially is not absolute; ... A municipalities power to establish, operate,
maintain and regulate sewers, sewage disposal systems and systems to collect and
dispose of waste substances typically may be exercised only within the corporate
boundaries of the municipality... A municipality has exclusive jurisdiction over
sewers within its corporate boundaries ... Any (other) municipality whose
corporate boundaries are intruded upon must agree to another muncipality's
exercise of its powers extraterritorially) under I.C. 36-9-2-16, & 17 and I.C. 36-9-
23-36."
4 Moreover, Avon also holds, at 711:
A. "An interlocal cooperation agreement is a condition precedent to
the valid exercise by a municipality of its powers extraterritorially to provide
sewer services outside ~ts corporate boundaries.
5 The current Lewman plan appears to be some form of leg or connecter that will
grossly disrupt the natural quality, value and beauty of his real estate in the apparent hope of
connecting it with other real estate or potential subdivisions within the corporate boundaries of
Charlestown, Indiana. The City and Board's actions thus far have taken place without the
legally-required "condition precedent" of an interlocal agreement and those actions are probably
void or voidable. Absent meeting this condition, all actions of the City and Board to try to wrest
away control of certain parts and interests of the Lewman real estate, when no interlocal
agreement exists under Avon, is outside the scope and purview of any of the extended sewer
powers within unincorporated areas of Indiana, as sited above. Further, in these circumstances,
2
ail actions taken against the Lewman real estate pursuant to I.C. 32-24-2 heretofore are legally
void under Avon.
6 That the words "condition precedent" have been defined to have the following
legai meaning:
... (it) is either a condition which must be performed before an obligation becomes
binding, or a condition which must be fulfilled before the duty to perform an
existing obligation arises Graybar Electric Co. v. State Board of Tax Comm'r
(Ind. Tax Ct. 2000) 723 N.E.2d 491.
In the case of Decker v. State (4th Dist. 426 N.E.2d 151) ~vhen applying the
appropriate condemnation statutes to take another's reai property interest, the
court stated "Statutes relating to the same general subject matter are inpari
materia and should be construed together so as to produce a harmonious system
(citations omitted at 153) ... When two statutes on the same subject matter must
be construed together, the court should attempt to give effect to both. (except
when repugnant to each other)"
7 At 153 the Court further stated that the duty imposed on a (condemning authority)
"is not an unduly burdensome one, since it is settled law that a condemnor is obligated ... to
tender a reasonable offer honestly and in good faith. The "condition precedent" requirement of
Decker in eminent domain "takings" that require a good faith offer before appropriation under
I.C. 32-11-1-2.1, is not unreasonable, comports with the Indiana constitution and further grants
definition to the "condition precedent" language of.Avon in a condemnation setting. The
principles of Mennonite_, Mullane and Decker have been grossly abrogated, and not followed, in
Lewman proceedings to date.
8 Until such time as the "condition precedent" of the interlocal agreement from
Avon is met, between the City and Charlestown, Richard Lewman's real estate interests are put
at risk in that the City and Board will not be able to hook up at the Charlestown end of the
proposed connecter, which will result in disruption and damage to the Lewman real estate for no
valid legal purpose. Until the interlocal agreement is executed by both cities, the City and Board
are powerless to use I.C. 32-24-2-6 as a means by which to put the Lewman real estate and at
least five natural springs on that real estate, at risk.
9 Among all of the situations to which I.C. 32-24-2-6 applies, it does not apply in
cases (like Lewman) when an appellate court decision governs and limits the
extraterritorial powers of the City and the Board. The statute makes no mention of this
interlocal dimension that is necessary under Avon. The Avon decision is controlling law in this
situation and the City and Board may not exercise powers under I.C. 36-9-2-16 & 17, I.C. 36-9-
23-36 or I.C. 32-24-2 until the Avon requirements are met.
10 That even standing alone without a consideration of Avon, the project for which
the Lewman real estate is sought clearly does not fall within I.C. 32-24-2-6 (a).
11 The 2001 Avon decision, as a matter of law, contemplated the existence of earlier
cases like Vickery v. City of Carmel (2nd Dist. 1981) 424 N.E. 2d 147, which recognized the
appropriate condemnation procedures of I.C. 32-11-1.5-3 when a municipality sought to
condemn real estate interests outside its corporate boundaries..Avon is controlling in all
respects.
12 That the instant proceedings to date taken by the Board and the City are defective
in that they prevent a meaningful remonstrance from being presented when the landowner only
first learns ora proposed "taking" via a chance newspaper article. Here, Mr. Lewman had no
opportunity to form and present a meaningful remonstrance involving, not only the real estate
interest at issue, but the minimum five nattucal springs potentially subject to damage by the
blasting and digging activities planned. Noticeably absent from Resolution 03-R-13 is any
consideration of these natural water springs, sites and sources. Thus, even when trying to
4
conduct themselves under I.C. 32-24-2-6, the City and Board failed to include any scientific data,
study, analysis or consideration of these natural water sources as a part of its "condemned
property."
13 That the "damage award" put forth by the Board and City on March 24, 2003 in
the cited Resolution is unreasonably low, defective, devoid of considerations and protections for
the water sources/springs and incomplete in terms of the statutory proceedings and other
prevailing law. Even a legal condemnation award must contain long-term, comprehensive
indemnification and repair obligations for, at a minimum, twenty (20) years relative to the
natural springs likely to be disrupted by blasting and other excavation at the site. Indiana
Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) experts should render opinions as to the risk and
protection of the Lewman springs, yet City and Board records to date do not include such
considerations.
14 No proceedings that administratively try to "take" or "compensate" the Lewmans
under the mixed proceedings to date should occur until the Clark Circuit Court hears and
determines the rights of the parties (and Richard Lewman who will seek to Intervene) under
Cause 10C01-0303-PL-185. Richard Lewman, in order to see that his rights are protected, must
now seek to join litigation which is testing the validity of the Board and City's actions to date,
including notices issues, insufficient procedural compliance, disregard of Avon, little or no
consideration of valuation and protection of the water rights and whether or not the City and
Board can operate to take his real property interests from him for a sewer line that will likely
never be hooked u~o, at least and until Avon is overturned, modified, or otherwise given new
definition at the Circuit Court or Appellate Court level.
15 Being apprised of these infirmities and deficiencies beginning with the failure to
include the water resources, failure of notification and due process, etc., the City and the Board
are requested to generally continue any proceedings of condemnation (as they see it) pending a
judicial decision in Cause No. 10C01-0303-PL-185. The Lewman real estate will be placed at
greater risk if the City disregards this request. Mr. Lewman recognizes that, at some time in the
future, development and sewer lines may likely cross his farm. However, he will seek judicial
interpretation of his rights under the present circumstances and does not desire to be placed "in
the middle" between competing sewer interests and the notoriety and contentious nature of some
rushed process to use his property as a starting point to reach other real estate when the Avon
decision may not ever allow that. Mr. Lewman seeks court guidance before his property is
damaged and disrupted. He requests the Board and the City to also be guided by he ultimate
court decision in the above-described lawsuit.
16 That the procedures contained in I.C. 32-11-1 (cited in Decker and Vickery) are
the only valid procedures to utilize when a governmental entity attempts to condemn real estate
interests for known real estate owned by known persons. The alternative procedures under I.C.
32-24-2 are not applicable when owners are known and available for service of notices before
state or local condemnation begins. To the extent they have been utilized to date in this case,
such actions are void as a matter of law.
17 No clear, valid, legal, immediate public need or use to invoke an,/eminent
domain proceedings with respect to the Lewman real estate. To the extent the current holders
of title or mortgage for some other tracts of real estate, within Charlestown city limits, are the
real party in interest motivating, in whole or in part, the City and the Board to try to utilize
eminent domain authority to cross the Leman real estate so as to benefit such other tracts,
6
eminent domain powers may not be used in such circumstances to appropriate any interest in the
Lewman real estate. This is especially true when such other tracts have not received final plat
approval or final zoning approval from Charlestown, and in view of the missing condition
precedent/interlocal agreement required by Avon. Richard Lewman's real estate is legally
beyond the scope of Jeffersonville's eminent domain powers for any purpose in these
circumstances.
18. Votes heretofore taken may not have been properly taken without full disclosures
of interests, possible conflicts of interests. It is likely that the Mayor - Member of the Board
should/should have abstained from participation or voting. (see attached deed and mortgage.)
In view of the foregoing facts and circumstances all votes of the Board are likely either void ab
initio or voidable. Other members of the Board would be prudent not to create potential legal
liabilities for themselves by voting to rescind all action to date, or "stay" further action pending
resolution of the above complex and multMevel legal questions in the above cited court case.
(Deed and Mortgage attached are incorporated into this Remonstrance filing)

I affirm under the penalty of perjury that the above representations are true.
