Christine Steinbock Pauley, the Clerk-Treasurer for the City of Carmel, announced last week that she will run for Hamilton County Council. She’s seeking to replace Paul Ayers, a Carmel resident who decided to not seek a third term.

Pauley said she decided to run because she believes her experience as Clerk-Treasurer and executive director of Carmel bond bank can now be best served at the county council level.

“I am a fiscal conservative who understands the need for strategic planning of investments while achieving the best possible financing options for the taxpayer,” she said.

Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness told the Fishers City Council December 18th of last year that the extent of the Central Green/Amphitheater upgrades will be determined by the bids submitted for the project.  The bids have been opened and it appears the city will be able to afford the full range of improvements.

The plans start with improvements to the Amphitheater stage itself, including a 25-foot expansion of the stage area.  A 1,700 square-foot pavilion structure will be built between City Hall and the Amphitheater stage.  This will add rest room facilities and provide meeting space for local groups.

Mayor Fadness said in December that the extent of other improvements would hinge on how the bidding process works out.

The Fishers Board of Works is set to vote January 22nd to accept a $4.1 million bid from Myers Construction to handle the renovation project.  That bid includes the following features:

–raising the grade of the site creating stadium seating north of the pavilion

–site and infrastructure improvements south of the pavilion

–24 jet fountain between City Hall and the new pavilion

–additional electricity for events

–site landscaping.

The entire project is due to be completed June 1st of this year, calling for a very aggressive construction schedule.  The Department of Public Works is asking the Board of Works to go ahead and approve the contract with Myers Construction January 22nd while the city’s lawyers review the provisions, allowing the contractor to line-up materials and sub-contractors.

The City of Fishers has reached an agreement with MetroNet, an Internet Service Provider, allowing the company to once again conduct construction activities within the city limits.  In August, the city issued a stop work order, and the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission conducted an investigation into several incidents, including the rupture of underground natural gas lines.

The agreement allows MetroNet to once again do excavation work in Fishers.  However, the company has committed to several specific actions.  The terms of the agreement relate to training, safety, notification responsibilities  and restoration.  You can read the entire Memorandum of Understanding at this link.

The city says the agreement provides that any breach of safety protocol may result in a stop work order.  A statement provided by the city says Metronet has expressed strong commitment to working with the City of Fishers to ensure the safety plan is followed. Before digging resumes in neighborhoods, Metronet will be providing notice to residents affected within 30 days of entering their property.

The agreement between Fishers and MetroNet contains elements recommended by the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission.

The agreement is scheduled to be formally approved at the Fishers Board of Works meeting set for January 22nd.
