I JUST WANT TO SAY,

GREAT WORK. >> COUNSELOR SNYDER, I TAKE YOU

WANT TO SPEAK NEXT? >> SIR.

>> THAT'S ALL RIGHT. >> AS MENTIONED, THIS IS OUR LAST MEETING OF 2025 YEAR AND IT HAS BEEN AN INTERESTING AND TOUGH YEAR, BUT A REWARDING YEAR. WE HAVE SOME TRADITIONS, LIKE EVERYONE DOES. AS YOU KNOW, THE COUNCIL PRESIDENT GOVERNS WITH HIS GAVEL. ONE OF THE OLDEST SYMBOLS OF PUBLIC ORDER 1 AND CIVIL SOCIETY. THE ROOTS GO BACK CENTURIES AND WENT BACK TO COURTROOMS, PARLIAMENTS, UNION HALLS AND COMMUNITY ASSEMBLIES LONG BEACH MICROPHONE AND LIFE STREAMING. THE GAVEL WAS THE TOUR THAT BROUGHT PEOPLE TOGETHER IN A SHARED SPACE AND CARRIED STRUCTURE. REMINDING EVERYONE THE WORK WE DO MATTERS.

IT REPRESENTS AUTHORITY. EVEN MORE. IT REPRESENTS RESPONSIBILITY. RESPONSIBILITY TO LISTEN. RESPONSE ABILITY TO LEAD WITH FAIRNESS. RESPONSIBILITY TO GUIDE A COMMUNITY THROUGH MOMENTS OF AGREEMENTS AND DISAGREEMENT WITH RESPECT AND CIVILITY. THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR, ADAM HAS UPHELD THOSE VALUES IN CLASS . CLARITY AND GOOD HUMOR. EVEN WHEN THE AGENDA GREW LONG FOR THE TOPICS GREW COMPLICATED FOR THE AGENDA GREW MORE COMPLICATED. HE KEPT CONVERSATIONS THE BEST HE COULD WITH THE STUBBORN GROUP. MOST IMPORTANTLY, HE KEPT US GROUNDED IN ENSURING WE WERE DOING WHAT WAS BEST FOR CARMEL. TONIGHT, I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF PRESENTING A CEREMONIAL GAVEL AS IT IS TRADITION HERE FOR CITY COUNCIL TO BE PRESENTED GOING PRESIDENT.

TONIGHT'S IS IN JUST TRADITION, BUT IT'S A RECOGNITION OF LEADERSHIP AND WELL EXECUTED AND SERVICE WELL GIVEN. ON BEHALF OF THIS COUNCIL AND THE RESIDENTS OF CARMEL, WE THANK YOU.

PROFESSIONALISM AND GUIDING THIS BODY WITH INTEGRITY BEFORE I

THANK YOU, EVERYBODY. THIS ISN'T EASY, BUT YOU MAKE IT EASIER. ANY OTHER

COMMENTS QUITE SEE? >> THAT'S A TOUGH ACT TO FOLLOW YOU. FIRST OF ALL, IN THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLIDAYS, JAVA HOUSE HAS BEEN GRACIOUS ENOUGH TO PROVIDE US WITH DRINKS. WITH THE FOOD GROUP, ONE OF CARMEL'S GREAT CORPORATIONS IS A COMPANY THAT FLIES UNDER THE RADAR, BUT VERY IMPORTANT TO OUR COMMUNITY AND GREAT COMMUNITY SUPPORTERS. THEY OWNED THREE MAJOR BRANDS OF THREE MAJOR DIVISIONS. FIRST IS SPLENDA, WHICH I USE ON A DAILY BASIS OWNED BY TED AND HIS GROUP. ALSO, SLIM FAST IS A NEW ACQUISITION THEY HAVE MADE. PUTTING THEM ON THE NATIONAL MAP AND JAVA HOUSE. ONE OF THE THINGS THEY WERE WILLING TO DO IS CHANGING UP THE COPY COFFEE INDUSTRIES. THAT CAFES AND HALF-LIFE 12 CAFES OUT THERE, BUT THEY ARE INTRODUCING THIS NEW THAT DOES NOT REQUIRE MACHINES, SO YOU JUST OPEN UP THE POT AND DUMP IT IN HOT OR COLD AND YOU CAN HAVE ENERGY DRINKS COFFEE, TEA, HOT CHOCOLATE AND ANYTHING ELSE. I WANT TO THANK MIKE PRATT WHO IS THE LEADER OF THE CELLS DIVISION. GREAT CARMEL RESIDENT. WHO WAS ALSO IN THE SALES DEPARTMENT HERE TONIGHT AND I WOULD APPRECIATE THEIR HOSPITALITY. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE FOR GRANTED ARE GREAT COMPANIES AND HELP US GET INTO THE HOLIDAY SPIRIT. HOPEFULLY AT SOME HOT TRUST CLIENT CHOCOLATE OR ENERGY DRINKS. THEN, QUICKLY, IF I MAY?

[14.a. First Reading of Ordinance D-2805-25; An Ordinance of the Common Council of the City of Carmel, Indiana, Amending Chapter 2, Article 3, Division II, Section 2-48(e) of the Carmel City Code; Sponsor: Councilor Taylor.]

TAYLOR. >> ORDINANCE OF MEN'S --.

>> MOVE TO INTRODUCE. >> READ THE SYNOPSIS.

>> ORDINANCE CHAPTER 2 ARTICLE THREE DIVISION TWO SECTION 2-48 E OF THE CARMEL CITY CODE DEFERRED COMPENSATION STRUCTURE TO INCLUDE CARMEL FIRE DEPARTMENT.

>> ALL RIGHT. >> THANK YOU. ZACH JACKSON, CFO.

LET ME GIVE BACKGROUND ON THIS AND I WILL SET IT UP IF NECESSARY AND TURN IT OVER TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. TODAY, WE OFFER EMPLOYEES NOT ONLY DEFERRED COMP WHERE THEY CAN CHOOSE TO PUT SOME OF THEIR SALARY INTO ESSENTIALLY 401(K) AND THE CITY ALSO MATCHES THAT WITH PERCENTAGES THAT INCREASE BASED ON THE YEARS OF SERVICE. THIS IS NOT, TO BE CLEAR.

SEPARATELY, SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE. 7.65 OF EMPLOYER PAYS AND EMPLOYEE PAYS. HISTORICALLY, THE POLICE DEPARTMENT HAS ALREADY OPTED OUT OF THE SOCIAL SECURITY COMPONENT. TODAY, THE CITY IN ADDITION TO THE DEFERRED THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER, THE CITY ALSO CONTRIBUTES THAT LIKE AMOUNT INTO THE DEFERRED POLICE DEPARTMENT. INSTEAD OF 6.2% GOING TOWARDS SOCIAL SECURITY FOR POLICE, WE ALSO PUT THAT IN THERE DEFERRED COMP. THE FIRE UNION DID A VOTE EARLIER THIS YEAR AND WOULD LIKE THAT SAME BENEFIT EXTENDED TO THEM WHERE INSTEAD OF PAYING IT TO SOCIAL SECURITY, 6.2% MORE INTO THEIR DEFERRED COMP AND ESSENTIALLY WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS CITY CODE TO TAKE THAT LANGUAGE THAT RIGHT NOW JUST SAYS, PLEASE EXPANDED TO THE FIRE DEPARTMENT, AS WELL.

>> ANY QUESTIONS FOR ZACH BEFORE WE BRING IN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

>> COST AND CONTROL TO THE CITY CONTRIBUTED TO THE FIREFIGHTER.

WE WILL LIKELY GO UP TO HOW WE CHOOSE TO USE THAT IN THAT THEY ARE NO LONGER PAYING THEIR 6.2%. DOES ANYONE WANT TO SAY

ANYTHING? ALWAYS WANT TO OFFER. >> GOOD EVENING. LIKE ZACH SAID, WE TOOK A VOTE EARLIER IN THE YEAR. WE BROUGHT THIS TO FIRE CHIEF AND NOW WE'RE BRINGING THAT TO YOU. HALF OF IT GOES

[00:30:05]

TONIGHT IS MEETING FOR MANY REASONS AND ONE STANDS OUT AND YOU HAVE HEARD ME, BUT I DO WANT TO READ INTO THE RECORD FOR CARMEL'S HISTORY, WE NEVER HAD A COUNCILMEMBER THAT WAS BORN IN CARMEL . CHANGED THIS PAST ELECTION WHEN VOTERS CHOSE NOT ONE, TWO, BUT THREE INDIVIDUALS RAISED IN THIS COMMUNITY AND ONE OF THOSE INDIVIDUALS HAS BEEN ELECTED TO LEAD TO THE BODY. THIS ISN'T A STATEMENT OF SUPERIORITY BY ANY MEANS, BUT MOSTLY A PRODUCT BY CARMEL . ACTUALLY CREDITS ME AND BORN IN CARMEL . THIS IS OUR 50 YEAR ANNIVERSARY AS A CITY AND I COULDN'T TO THE BETTER YEAR.
