4/20/2026 Zionsville Town Council and Safety Board Meeting

The Town of Zionsville held a combined Town Council and Safety Board meeting on April 20, 2026, focusing on several procurement and capital improvement projects. Key procurement discussions included the approval of bond resolutions and appropriation of funds for major public works projects: a new Department of Public Works operations facility with a bond issuance not to exceed $14.7 million, and a Westside fire station project with bonds up to $8.65 million. The council approved a public-private agreement with GM Development for the fire station construction, establishing a guaranteed maximum price of approximately $8 million. Additionally, the council considered zoning ordinance amendments related to the Michigan Road corridor overlay, specifically regulating self-service car washes with operational restrictions including noise limits and hours of operation. The meeting also addressed an easement vacation request involving Veeway Crafted Homes due to a construction encroachment issue, with the builder responsible for relocating drainage infrastructure. Fire department staffing challenges were discussed, including plans to hire part-time firefighter paramedics to supplement training and operational needs. The meeting included public hearings for bond appropriations and the fire station agreement, all of which passed unanimously. No new contracts were awarded during the meeting, but several key procurement and budgetary actions were approved to support ongoing capital projects and municipal services.
