This year U-Heights is scheduled for visits from assessor's staff.Please refer to the agenda above for his presentation. It will also be available from IC Cable 4 as a webstream in the next week.
 

FY17 Budget Planning

State law requires all cities to submit an approved FY17 (beginning July 1, 2016) budget by March 15 each year. Council held preliminary budget discussions and will continue that next week in a special meeting on Feb. 15 at 6:30 PM in the City Office, 1004 Melrose.
 

One University Place

There was a great deal of discussion of One University Place this evening. Council directed the city attorney to draft a letter of agreement specifying the scope of duties not covered by the building inspector or city engineer  that a project manager would perform. If council approves of this draft a short term contract would be entered into with Glen Siders at a projected rate of $75 to $100 dollars an hour. Regular construction reports are posted after council meetings on the city website OUP Construction Updates.
