Greg Miller Sworn In As New Member Of Frankfort Board Of Works

Published on

Mayor Judy Sheets performed the swearing-in of Greg Miller to the Frankfort Board of Works today, Monday, June 1, 2020.

Miller replaces board member Mark Mitchell who submitted his resignation effective May 31, 2020, due to moving outside the city limits of Frankfort. Miller will also replace Mitchell on the Frankfort Redevelopment Authority board.

“According to state statute he [Mitchell] cannot continue to serve on the Board of Works,” said Mayor Sheets. “I knew at the time of appointing him, he and his wife were in the process of building a home outside the city, but I wanted to get his expertise and knowledge for the first three months I had in office.”

“I am excited. I think Greg Miller is going to do a great job for me,” continued Mayor Sheets.

Miller brings 36-years of city experience to the position. He currently is a Frankfort firefighter and director of the Clinton County EMS.

“I am looking forward to the challenges,” said Miller. “Frankfort is my hometown. I have worked my career here, I’ll die here.”

“I love the community and there is so much going on and it’s an opportunity to help payback.”

Miller said he is ready to help the citizens understand the decisions that are made and provide guidance to Mayor Sheets.

“The years of experience and the opportunities to have situations arise, we don’t always have a direct answer for them, but to work things out or to find a resolution for the public is something I have with working for the fire department.”

The next regular meeting of the Frankfort Board of Works is Monday, June 8, 2020, at 5 pm.

Clinton County and Local Communities Eligible For More Than $1.7 Million To Cover COVID-19 Related Expenses

Published on

Clinton County and local communities are eligible for more than $1.7 million to cover COVID-19-related expenses through the federal stimulus package, according to Indiana State Reps. Don Lehe (R-Brookston) and Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo).

Clinton County is eligible for $1,046,311 in reimbursement funding. In addition, these communities are eligible to receive the following amounts:

Colfax $21,769;
Frankfort $513,617;
Kirklin $24,819;
Michigantown $14,697;
Mulberry $39,678; and
Rossville $52,591.

“It was critical for communities to act swiftly to fight this virus and protect the public, but these efforts drained many resources and took a toll on budgets,” VanNatter said. “Indiana directed federal stimulus dollars to help local governments bounce back by helping to cover some of their costs.”

Indiana allocated $300 million in federal funding from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economics Security Act to counties and communities for reimbursement of expenditures related to the pandemic. Lehe said the funding, allocated based on population, cannot be used to replace lost tax revenue.

“Communities across our state are having to bear many unexpected expenses to fight this pandemic,” Lehe said. “Our hope is this funding will provide some relief as local governments navigate this situation.”

VanNatter said the Indiana Finance Authority is in charge of implementing guidelines on how each county, city and town can use the funding, as well as compiling reimbursement requests through accepted documentation including invoices. Visit in.gov/ifa for more information.

State Rep. Don Lehe (R-Brookston) represents House District 25, which includes portions of Carroll, Cass, Clinton, Tippecanoe and White counties.

State Rep. Heath VanNatter (R-Kokomo) represents House District 38, which includes portions of Carroll, Cass, Howard and Clinton counties.
