CLINTON COUNTY, Ind. – Clinton County Councilman Jake Myers announced at today’s county council meeting he plans to resign after the December 2022 council meeting due to moving outside of his district. Myers is completing his eighth year on the council and won re-election to District 2 of the County Council in the November 8 (last week) general election running unopposed as a Republican.

A Republican caucus will be held to fill the seat within 30-days of Myers’ formal announcement with the Clinton County Clerk of the Courts.

“I’ve been on the Council for eight years – been a great run,” commented Councilman Myers after the meeting. “I was really looking forward to the next four years as well.”

Asked what he most enjoyed as an accomplishment while serving on the county council Myers spoke of the implementation of a stand alone EMS service within the county and building of a new hospital.

“Hands down it was the implementation of a stand alone EMS service, being able to fund our own EMS and the acquisition of being able to build a new hospital,” noted Myers. “That’s been a huge accomplishment and really, really enjoyed being a part of that and just collectively working with other county officials has been great.”

Addressing what Myers will miss he said, “I’m really gonna miss the camaraderie with the other council members and working with the commissioners and working with all the department heads.

I ran on – in the beginning – being able to work with department heads and other elected officials. I am a municipal employee myself, so I knew the struggles that employees would go through in salaries and benefits.”

Clinton County Council President Alan Dunn said of the announcement, “I am sorry to lose Jake. It’s been eight great years… I think Jake’s had a really, really important role on the council over his two terms because he, with his role in public safety as a Frankfort police officer, he can speak that public safety language and he’s been sort of a liaison between the budget side on the council and our public safety entities and the sheriff’s office and the EMS.”

Myers noted he will continue to serve the community as a Frankfort police officer stating he has two more years until he can retire from the department.

The next County Council meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m., Tuesday, December 13 at the Clinton County Courthouse.

Frankfort H.S. DECA Celebrates National DECA Month

FRANKFORT, Ind. – Frankfort High School DECA Chapter is celebrating their 23rd year.

This year, Frankfort DECA has 47 members. Senior, Daniela Cruz, serves as the chapter president, juniors, Edwin Wainscott, Dalys Garcia-Martinez, and Jazmin Lozano-Barragan are vice presidents. November is National DECA Month and Frankfort DECA has many activities planned.

Members kicked off National DECA Month by attending the Indiana DECA Fall Leadership Conference on Monday, November 7, at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. Twenty-five Frankfort students attended various leadership workshops, met with Pacers Front Office employees, and attended the Pacers basketball game.

Strategic Marketing students operate the school-based enterprise, DECA Cookies. Delicious Otis Spunkmeyer cookies are baked and sold Monday through Thursday to staff and students.

Frankfort School Board to Hold Public Hearing on Planned $32.5 Million Bond for Districtwide Renovations

Frankfort School Board to Hold Public Hearing on Planned $32.5 Million Bond for Districtwide Renovations

FRANKFORT, Ind. – The Frankfort School Board Tuesday evening voted unanimously to set December 13 for a public hearing on a planned $32.5 million bond for districtwide renovations.

The issuance of the new bond will not increase taxes and will address many issues with the Frankfort Middle School (FMS) being the primary benefactor of the monies – a two-year, $25 million renovation that could begin as soon as the summer of 2024.

Community Schools of Frankfort Superintendent Dr. Matt Rhoda explained the areas of FMS planned for renovations while addressing the board, “there’s a safety concern regarding the location of the current office in relation to the front entrance. The roof is in very poor condition. There’s insufficient restroom space for students to use throughout the building. The music wing that houses orchestra, band, and choir are too small and lack storage space for instruments. Classroom instructional space will also need to be right sized. There are other projects in the district that will need attention at the same time, which includes the repair of the Suncrest roof.”

Dr. Rhoda described the timing of these projects is to take advantage of the “next debt drop off and the debt service fund in 2024.”

After the meeting, Dr. Rhoda provided a breakdown of the maximum bond amount to be requested.

“It’s a little over $32 million that we’re taking out – that $32,525,000 – because we want to have $30 million for projects. So the $2.5 million is really for all of the soft costs from architecture to all of the other preconstruction needs that take place. So we want to have $30 million to be able to put $25 [million] towards the middle school, and then another five [million] towards things that need done immediately, for example, like the Suncrest roof.

When asked about his comment of the bond used to pay for the projects “will keep everything tax rate neutral, and there will be no, again, no increase to tax rate,” Dr. Rhoda shared how the retired debt amount would negatively impact CSF in the future when the debt retires as tax rates would go down and trigger a referendum to do projects at a later date.

“Our tax rate goes down, which means that if we want to do any big projects in the future, we would have to go the referendum route to raise that tax rate again in order to be able to generate those funds. And so we want to stay tax neutral so that we are able to continue to use debt drop off to be able to fund future projects without going to the public to ask for a tax increase.”

FRANKFORT, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) announced Tuesday it is working with the City of Frankfort to address the placement of a fire hydrant in the middle of a sidewalk on S.R. 28, west of S. Doyal Street. INDOT states the current placement of the hydrant is “due to the underground locations of a fiber optic bank and water main.” INDOT will meet with city officials to determine a solution to the current placement.

INDOT provided the following additional updates to the State Road 28 resurfacing and rehabilitation project in Frankfort. S.R. 28 is now open from N. Jackson Street to 6th Street. S.R. 28 is also now two-way traffic from N. Jackson St. and to the west. Crews have also placed concrete islands in various locations to improve safety. The width of the roadway at each location is large, and the islands provide a safe solution for pedestrians that are unable to cross the roadway entirely. Additionally, the mid-point crosswalks were placed at the request of local residents during the design phases. The island at the railroad crossing is required by the railroad company.

Currently in Frankfort, U.S. 421 is closed between Walnut St. and S.R. 39 (N. Jackson St.) for continued work on this project. The official detour follows S.R. 39 to S.R. 38 to U.S. 421 and back toward S.R. 39.

Due to industry-wide supply chain and labor shortage issues, the new timeline for complete reopening is at the end of December, 2022. Crews are working diligently to be as efficient, safe and timely as possible. INDOT appreciates the continued cooperation and patience of residents and the traveling public.

After the road reopens, crews will still be working on cosmetic improvements, like lane striping and landscaping. That will be done under temporary restrictions and/or flagging operations.

This project was awarded to E & B Paving LLC for $17.9 million and will resurface or reconstruct portions of S.R. 28 from C.R. 200 W. east to Jackson Street, the addition of a right turn lane from westbound S.R. 28 to northbound Jackson Street, and then continue with the reconstruction of S.R. 28 from Jackson Street eastward to Hoke Ave. The project also includes the addition of dedicated left turn lanes on S.R. 28 at Clay Street, the reconstruction of the storm water system, reconstruction of sidewalks to be ADA compliant on the south side of S.R. 28 from West St. to Hoke Ave., and a shared use path on the north side of S.R. 28 for the total length of the project.

INDOT reminds motorists to slow down, use caution and consider worker safety when traveling through a work zone.

Frankfort Residents Reminded of New Automated Trash Collection Program

Published on
automated trash collection reminder

FRANKFORT, Ind. – The City of Frankfort has issued a reminder to residents today regarding the new automated trash collecting program.

It is important to have your trash carts out BY 7:00am. Crews will begin pickup at 7:00am. We are working on day 2 of automation and will need to run the routes differently based on the truck arm location. If your trash is not set out by 7:00am on your trash day it will NOT be picked up until the following week. You can set your carts out the night before to ensure pickup.

The ONLY trash that will be picked up is if they are in the new City of Frankfort trash containers. Bagged trash on the ground will NOT be picked up.
If you have extra trash that doesn’t fit in the cart, please bring it to the Street Department Monday thru Friday from 8:00am to 4:00pm or on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month from 8:00am to Noon. There is no extra charge for residents who bring in bagged trash.

Recycle: Recycling will remain the same with bags on the ground. We encourage residents to recycle with no sorting necessary. Due to the safety of the crew members, we do NOT accept glass during pick up but it can be dropped off at the Recycle Barn.

Street pick-up locations: If you have street pick up please make sure it is as close to the road or curb as possible. Do NOT place your cart against a fence, utility pole, or garage.

Alley pick-up locations: If you have alley pick up please make sure it is along the alley and NOT by your garage or fence.

If you have not received your new trash carts please call the office at 765.659.2912. Please leave a voicemail with your name, phone number, and address if no one answers.

Frankfort Leaf Collection Begins November 7

Published on
Frankfort Leaf Collection Begins November 7

FRANKFORT, Ind. – The City of Frankfort announced today Street Department crews will begin leaf collection the week of November 7th in the southwest quadrant.

The Street Department asks if you can place leaf piles as close to the curb as possible without putting them in the street. No other yard waste, including sticks and grass clippings, should be in the leaf piles because they can clog up and damage the vacuums and cause downtime due to repairs.

“We request that vehicles not be parked near the leaf piles so our vacuums can collect them easily and quickly. Please keep leaf piles away from utility poles, as well. Anything you can do to keep leaves clear of street drains is appreciated. This keeps sewer maintenance crews from having clean storm drains and allows them to concentrate on other duties,” stated Street Superintendent, Jason Forsythe.

Leaves, brush, and grass clippings can also be brought to the Street Department’s compost site at 905 Burlington Avenue, Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. and on the first and third Saturdays of each month from 8:00 a.m. – noon, year-round. Leaves and clippings must be removed from bags before being added to the compost pile.

Leaf collection will be divided by city quadrant. Crews will return to all quadrants periodically throughout the fall season. Updates on which section of the city crews will be collecting leaves can be found on the City and Street Department Facebook pages.

“We were on a waitlist with E&B Paving and they have been working hard on the INDOT State Road 28 project. E&B and I have been in communication over the last couple of weeks and we are hoping the weather cooperates for us to get all of our projects completed over the next couple of weeks,” stated Forsythe.

Below is a list of the streets:

• East Washington Street (North Jackson to South Fudge Street)
• East Wabash Street (South Clay Street to South Williams Road)
