Huntingburg RDC Prepares for Upcoming Resolutions
At their February meeting, the Huntingburg Redevelopment Commission made preparations for
resolutions that will soon be brought before the board.
After the minutes from the January 20 meeting were approved, the board reviewed a series of
claims. Docket claims of $41,873 and a non-docket amount of $225 were both authorized.
These included a payback to the general fund, Utility Association for the TIF, and expenses for
the police department like in-car video.
At the next meeting, the Commission will address resolutions that are passed for each of the
economic development areas in each of the city’s allocation funds. This is being completed
earlier than in the past so that paperwork can be sent by certified mail to all the overlapping
taxing jurisdictions.
The next agenda item concerned the OFS Plant 18 building expansion project. The new space
was planned for the north of the existing plant in order to enhance the new manufacturing
equipment installed in Plant 18. OFS had requested that the RDC approved a TIF bond to fund
the project. If they are able to get their information and notices assembled in time, the
confirmatory resolution for the amendment to the Industrial Park Allocation area may be ready
for consideration.
In the public comments, a Huntingburg resident addressed the solar moratorium enacted by
the City Council on October 25. She said that the moratorium was enforced with the intention
of reviewing and updating the Huntingburg UDO for development standards with respect to
solar panels. The resident inquired if there had been any progress to that end. The board
explained that the RDC is not involved in that process, since it is not in any of the TIF districts.
The Plan Commission will be reviewing potential adjustments beginning next week, with
guidance from the Council.
The next scheduled meeting date is March 3, which marks the first meeting on the new regular
schedule of the first Tuesday of each month.
