Amy Geras, Executive Director for Area 10 Agency on Aging and Rural Transit, requested $140,000 from the town. This funding would support public transportation for Ellettsville's urbanized area.

Ms. Geras estimated Ellettsville's share of the total urbanized Monroe County cost to be $140,000. A council member noted the town's previous attempts to secure county funding for rural transit were unsuccessful.

Colin Frank of the Bloomington Disc Golf Club proposed adding an 18-hole disc golf course to Town Hall Park. He stated the course would use 18 of the 22 wooded acres, which are not suitable for other buildings.

He estimated the remaining $2,000 would be raised through hole sponsorships, resulting in no cost to taxpayers. Council members expressed support for the idea but directed Mr. Frank to present the proposal to the Parks Board.
