11/2/2026 Zionsville Town Council

The Town of Zionsville Town Council’s regular meeting on November 2, 2026, included several budget and spending actions. The council approved Resolution 2026-31, authorizing an additional appropriation for a replacement public-address system used by the Police Department’s canine unit at public demonstrations. The purchase will use existing donation funds; no dollar amount or vendor was stated. The council also approved the consent agenda, including payroll claims. First readings were introduced for ordinances setting 2027 employee compensation, allocating certified local income tax revenue among town funds, and specifying funds eligible to receive excise-tax distributions. The compensation ordinance lists four positions added or retitled, including two new positions; amounts were not provided in the transcript.

On land-use matters, the council approved Ordinance 2026-25 to rezone approximately 13 acres at 410 South 4th Street and 500 South Main Street from the Cove PUD to Urban Village Residential, with conditions allowing no more than four homes, requiring architecture respectful of village character, and prohibiting access from 5th Street. Development remains subject to town floodplain and engineering review. The council denied Ordinance 2026-20, which would have changed the variance standard for development standards in rural zoning districts, by a 5–1 vote. No contract awards, RFPs, or vendor selections were identified.
