3/16/1016 Zionsville Town Council

The Town of Zionsville held a council meeting on March 16, 2016, where key procurement and budget matters were discussed. The council considered and ultimately denied Ordinance 2025-27, which involved approving a letter agreement granting exclusivity to Citizens Energy for utility services in a specific area. The discussion highlighted concerns about the lack of competitive bidding and transparency. Additionally, the council approved two bond ordinances: one authorizing up to $14,745,000 in general obligation bonds to finance a new Department of Public Works operations facility, and another authorizing up to $8,650,000 in bonds for the construction of a Westside Fire Station. The council also approved an ordinance allowing road impact fees to be paid over five years with a maximum 5% interest rate. No new business items were introduced, and community events were briefly acknowledged.
