Terre Haute council approves appropriations, a museum park resolution and CF1 compliance; rezoning postponed

The Terre Haute City Council took several formal actions on April 2, 2026:

- Appropriation 03/2026: Transferred $20,000 (returned grant funds from a Thompson Ditch Trail study) into the Ray Park/Riley Veil trail account. Motion moved by Councilperson Loudermilk and seconded by Councilperson Hinton; the council took action and subsequently approved the appropriation by voice vote.

- Appropriation 04/2026: Approved a transfer to fund the Park Avenue Lift Station replacement after staff said bids were negotiated to roughly $5.3M. Motion moved by Councilperson Nation and seconded by Councilperson Boland; the appropriation was adopted by voice vote.

- Resolution 07/2026: Council adopted a nonbinding resolution supporting the planned conversion of South 8th Street into a park for the Terre Haute Children’s Museum. Motion moved by Councilperson Nation and seconded by Councilperson DeBond; council voted in favor by voice vote. The resolution does not vacate right‑of‑way or appropriate funds and is contingent on grant funding and Park Board review.

- CF1 compliance: The CF1 form for Historic Walnut Square LLC (formerly filed under a different name) was found in substantial compliance after a motion by Councilperson Hinton and second by Councilperson Thompson.

- Special Ordinance 03/2026 (rezoning at 3317 North 12th Street) was read for the first time but action was postponed because the area planning commission had not met and the petitioner’s attorney was not present.
