City of Greensburg Board of Works
The meeting began with Mayor Marsh stating that Whitney Koelling, from Ara, was unable to attend the meeting this evening. Mayor Marsh provided an update on the project, stating that three homes have had new HVAC systems installed and are now completed. Several others are still in progress as they work to complete the necessary steps for their upgrades. The board approved an invoice submitted from the Owner-Occupied Rehab Grant for $53,464 for the completed homes.
Mike McNealy, Police Chief, presented an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) Policy. The chief explained that this policy was needed to specify who could utilize the UAVs and to outline specific requirements and restrictions he deemed appropriate. The board approved the policy unanimously.
Louis Moore, Assistant Street Commissioner, received approval to dispose of one snowplow and two spreaders by taking them to the scrap yard. He also received approval to transfer a 2003 International truck to the Water Department and a 2006 International truck to the Wastewater Department.
Amy Bornes, City Clerk-Treasurer, spoke to the board about Airport Manager Jerry Scheidler’s wish to retire and find someone to replace him in the position.

The Greensburg City Council
The meeting began with the council approving Ordinance 2025-15, Amending Ordinance 2020-7 Mowing Fees, on its second reading. The only changes made were those requested by the council at their last meeting. The addition states that three years from your most recent violation, if you incur another violation within that time, you will move on to the second or third violation level. However, after three years of no violations, you will be considered in good standing, and any subsequent violation will restart at the first level.
Greg Fox, Dunn & Associates, provided the council with a Health Insurance Plan Update and Review. This presentation was purely informational, with no requests for decisions. Greg reviewed the current health plan, which is self-funded, with Specific Reinsurance—meaning the city pays the first $70,000 of any claim—and Aggregate Reinsurance, which protects the city as a whole. Greg stated that the positives of being self-funded include better value for the staff, customizable benefits, and the city only paying for what it uses. He noted that overall, the city has a great policy and that claims are maintaining a flat trajectory compared to the rising averages seen elsewhere.
The council approved Resolution 2025-15 (Redevelopment Commission’s Resolution) – Economic Development Area and Allocation Areas. Zach Wirrig, Public Projects Director, explained that this resolution expands the Economic Development Area to include all City of Greensburg limits, excluding the Honda Manufacturing property, consolidating previous areas into one unified Economic Development Area. It also adds parcels not previously included. With the city council’s approval, the next step will be to return the resolution to the RDC for a confirmatory vote.
Mayor Joshua Marsh thanked the Wastewater Plant for their hard work in completing their Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) plan. Marsh explained that this project has been in progress for five years and that the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) has recently documented that Greensburg is no longer a CSO city.
Daryl Tressler, City Councilman, stated that he recently attended an exit interview with the state’s audit team and that they found no concerns. He thanked Amy Bornes and her team for their hard work.
