Crawfordsville agendas list 2026 development bonds, 2027 salaries and tax rates; minutes not yet posted
Three Crawfordsville meetings fell within the past two weeks: City Council sessions on Oct. 5 and Oct. 13, and a Board of Public Works and Safety meeting on Oct. 7. For all three, only agendas are in the public record — minutes have not been published. This roundup therefore describes what was scheduled for consideration, not what was decided. No vote tallies or outcomes are available for any of the three.
City Council: development bonds, 2027 salaries and tax rates
The Oct. 5 City Council Committee meeting, listed for 6 p.m. at City Hall, 300 E Pike Street, carried two fiscal items: a resolution finding CSI Technology in substantial compliance for tax abatement purposes, and an ordinance authorizing the city to issue "[Taxable] Economic Development Revenue Bonds Of 2026 (Global Development Project)" and approving related actions. The agenda's Ordinances & Petitions, Traffic/Parking/Safety, Annexation and Miscellaneous sections were listed with no items shown.
The Oct. 13 City Council agenda listed the bond ordinance again, this time as a first reading, alongside a public hearing and second reading of an ordinance vacating the alley from Kennedy Place to South Grant Avenue. Second readings were also listed for ordinances fixing 2027 salaries for appointed officers, employees, the Mayor, Clerk-Treasurer and Common Council, and for an ordinance setting appropriations and tax rates. The CSI Technology tax abatement compliance item appeared as a resolution.
Because no minutes are posted, it is not established whether any of these items passed, were amended, or were held.
Board of Public Works and Safety: street closures and infrastructure
On Oct. 7 the board's agenda listed bids for cleanup of a fallen structure and hole filling at 1105 S Grant Ave, and a funding request from the Wastewater Department.
Two temporary street closures were requested: Parke Ave from Valley to North on Oct. 31, and Pike Street at Pike Place on Oct. 24 for the MoCo Pride Festival.
The agenda also listed a CEL&P request to add 10 streetlights across Phase 2 and 3 of Hawkview, and work order requests for 705/707 S. Washington Street, 807 Shade Lane and 1606 Edgewood Drive.
Coming up
The Redevelopment Commission meets Oct. 20 to review the annual TIF impact presentation and the annual TIF spending plan, and to consider a resolution pledging TIF funds to EDC bonds.
The Plan Commission also meets Oct. 20 to take up RZ 0028, a request by R & B Properties LLC to rezone 1485 S Grant Avenue from Single-Family Residential to General Business.
The Board of Zoning Appeals meets Oct. 21 to hear AAR 0007, an administrative appeal by Mike Bickers regarding a sexually oriented business in an HB highway business zoning district. The board will also review minutes from its Sept. 16, 2026 meeting.
Agendas for each of these meetings are the official record of what is scheduled; readers should consult the posted documents directly for times, locations and any changes.
Week of 2026-10-12
Crawfordsville agendas: 2027 salaries, tax rates and development bonds set for Oct. 13 council; cleanup bids at 1105 S Grant Ave
Three Crawfordsville government meetings were held in the past two weeks, but minutes have not been published for any of them, so the public record does not show what, if anything, was decided at those sessions. The agendas point to the next set of items at the City Council meeting scheduled for Oct. 13, 2026, where 2027 salaries, tax rates and economic development bonds are listed.
City Council, Oct. 13: salaries, tax rates, bonds
The City Council agenda lists a public hearing and second reading of an ordinance vacating the alley from Kennedy Place to South Grant Avenue. It also lists second readings of ordinances fixing 2027 salaries for appointed officers, employees, the Mayor, Clerk-Treasurer and Common Council, and an ordinance for appropriations and tax rates.
Also listed: a resolution regarding tax abatement compliance for CSI Technology, and a first reading of an ordinance to issue "[Taxable] Economic Development Revenue Bonds of 2026 (Global Development Project)." No dollar amounts appear in the agenda information provided.
Bonds and abatement also appeared Oct. 5
The City Council agenda for Oct. 5, 2026 listed a resolution finding CSI Technology in substantial compliance for tax abatement purposes, and an ordinance authorizing the City to issue the same 2026 economic development revenue bonds. Sections for Ordinances & Petitions, Traffic/Parking/Safety, Annexation and Miscellaneous were listed with no items shown. The summary describes that session as a committee meeting.
Board of Public Works: cleanup bids at 1105 S Grant Ave
The Board of Public Works and Safety met Sept. 30 and again Oct. 7. Both agendas list bids for cleanup of a fallen structure and filling the hole at 1105 S Grant Ave. The Sept. 30 agenda also lists a task order from Commonwealth Engineers, Inc. for Industrial Pretreatment Program Audit Assistance; an agreement with Crawfordsville Community School Corporation for School Resource Officers; agreements with NextSite, Tecton Construction and Biddle Construction; and release of claims to Matthew Endicott for 602 Cherry Street.
