On Thursday, March 26, the Brownsburg Town Council President issued a proclamation recognizing Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month. Indiana House Representative Becky Cash and author of the book “Healing Autism Naturally” attended the presentation, and received the proclamation.
The Brownsburg Town Council encourages residents to promote inclusion, expand accessibility, and foster a community where individuals of all abilities are empowered to participate fully and thrive.
Full text of the proclamation is available below:
Whereas, March has been recognized as Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month since 1987 to promote understanding, encourage inclusion, and create opportunities that help individuals with developmental disabilities lead productive and fulfilling lives; and
Whereas, a developmental disability in no way diminishes the right of individuals with developmental disabilities to live independently, make choices, and fully contribute to their communities; and
Whereas, adults and children with disabilities make up nearly one-fifth of Indiana’s population, representing more than 54 million Americans; and
Whereas, the Town of Brownsburg recognizes people of all abilities as important and valued members of our community; and
Whereas, organizations such as the National Association of Councils on Developmental Disabilities, along with many local partners, work to support, educate, and advocate for individuals with developmental disabilities.
Now, therefore, I, Ben Lacey, Town Council President of the Town of Brownsburg, hereby proclaim March 2026 as
DEVELOPMENT DISABILITIES AWARENESS MONTH
and encourage residents to promote inclusion, expand accessibility, and foster a community where individuals of all abilities are empowered to participate fully and thrive.
On Thursday, March 12, the Brownsburg Town Council President issued a proclamation recognizing National Vietnam Veterans Day. Representatives from the Wa-Pe-Ke-Way Chapter National Society Daughters of the American Revolution attended the presentation, receiving the proclamation on behalf of our nation’s Vietnam Veterans. According to the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency (DPAA), there are still 1,566 Vietnam service members who remain unaccounted for.
The Brownsburg Town Council encourages residents to acknowledge the courage, sacrifice, honor and positive achievements of our nation’s Vietnam Veterans and their families and firmly represent that we proudly welcome them home.
Full text of the proclamation is available below:
Whereas, the Vietnam War Veterans Recognition Act of 2017 established March 29 as a national day to honor the nearly 9 million Americans who served on active duty during the Vietnam War era; and
Whereas, 50 years ago, our Nation was divided, and our service members often did not receive the appreciation they deserved upon returning home; andWhereas, more than 58,000 service members made the ultimate sacrifice and thousands more suffered as prisoners of war or remain unaccounted for; and
Whereas, it is our duty to properly welcome home all Vietnam veterans—those who served in-country and those who served elsewhere—and to honor the sacrifices of their families, caregivers, and survivors; and
Whereas, in 2026, we continue to uphold our sacred obligation to honor the service, courage, and commitment of this generation of patriots.
Now, therefore, I, Ben Lacey, Town Council President of the Town of Brownsburg, do hereby proclaim March 29, 2026 as
WELCOME HOME VIETNAM VETERANS’ DAY
in the Town of Brownsburg, and urge all residents to observe this day with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities that honor our Vietnam veterans and their families.

Spring preparation is already in full swing across Brownsburg. Town crews are working behind the scenes to ensure parks and streets are safe, functional, and ready for the warmer months ahead.
In the parks department, spring preparation begins weeks, and sometimes even months, before temperatures consistently rise.
“Spring prep really touches every part of our park system,” said Natural Resources Senior Manager Chris Flanagan. “We’re de-winterizing restrooms, water fountains, the splash pad and irrigation systems. We’re also putting up shade sails and deep cleaning park shelters across all of our parks.”
Much of that work starts during the winter months to ensure public spaces are ready by the time warmer weather hits. Water fountains were removed and sent off for de-scaling, powder coating, and hardware replacement before being reinstalled and turned on in April. The Parks Facilities team also takes the colder months to tackle maintenance projects, like installing new metal roofs on the shelters at Arbuckle Acres Park.
As spring approaches, the department shifts its focus to the amenities residents use most often.
“Splash pads, restrooms and water fountains, and playgrounds are our top priorities as we come out of winter,” Flanagan said. “Those are the spaces that see immediate use as soon as the weather warms up.”
Playgrounds across the park system received fresh mulch in February to maintain industry-standard safety depths, while turf areas were inspected for winter damage and reseeded where needed. Hard-surface trails are checked for cracks caused by freeze-thaw cycles, and natural surface trails are evaluated for erosion.
Spring prep is also a critical time for environmental stewardship. The Natural Resources team orders native plants and seeds for spring planting, prunes trees before they leave dormancy, and focuses on managing invasive species.
“New native plantings increase the pollen and nectar available for local pollinators,” Flanagan explained. “And when we control invasive species, we’re giving native plants the space and resources they need to thrive.”
Efforts like Weed Wrangle volunteer events in the fall and winter help remove invasive plants that crowd out native species and offer little nutritional value to wildlife. Overseeding native areas along White Lick Creek further supports erosion control and long-term habitat health.
According to park staff, the work done in early spring helps determine how smoothly the rest of the year runs.
“Spring prep is really the foundation for our entire year,” Flanagan said. “By addressing maintenance and inventory early, we’re able to be proactive instead of reactive, which makes us more efficient and helps keep our parks in great shape all season long.”
On the street side, the transition from winter to spring brings a different set of challenges.
“We start shifting our operations when we see overnight temperatures staying above freezing,” said Street Superintendent Aaron Love. “That’s when we can move from temporary winter fixes to more permanent repairs.”
Winter weather continues to impact streets long after snow and ice are gone. Freeze-thaw cycles cause potholes and cracks to form, while winter treatments leave debris and salt buildup along roadways.
“There’s a lot of cleanup once winter passes,” Love said. “Our streets are dirty, and we start seeing potholes and larger cracks forming from the freeze-thaw cycles we’ve experienced.”
During the winter months, crews rely on cold-patch asphalt to safely manage potholes. Once spring temperatures arrive, those areas are prioritized for permanent repair, with potholes and major roadway issues addressed first.
Street sweeping also becomes a major focus in early spring. Because sweeping is limited during winter operations, debris accumulates in gutter lines throughout the season.
“As spring approaches, it’s very important that we start street sweeping as soon as possible,” Love said. “Cleaning out the gutters helps ensure water has somewhere to go when we get those heavy spring rains, which helps prevent flooding.”
As traffic increases and construction season begins, safety remains a top priority. Crews work to alert motorists to upcoming road work with advance signage and regular updates on lane restrictions and closures.
“We know congestion increases this time of year,” Love said. “Our goal is to notify motorists as early as we can so they’re prepared before they reach a work zone.”
Despite colder weather, inspections continue year-round. Storm drains and roadways are routinely checked, with many issues identified during winter patching operations and documented for spring follow-up.
The biggest challenge, according to the Street Superintendent, is timing.
“The transition from winter to spring is always tricky,” he said. “A lot of our equipment is set up for winter operations, and we can’t fully switch over until the weather cooperates. Once those temperatures stay above freezing, we start transitioning equipment and tackling the larger spring projects.”
From parks to streets, spring preparation is a coordinated effort that sets the stage for the busy season ahead. Residents can report street issues like potholes at: https://www.brownsburg.org/202/Street-Department.
The Town of Brownsburg Utility Department would like to clarify its policy regarding sewer bill adjustments related to outdoor water usage.
Sewer adjustments are intended to address unexpected water loss caused by verified leaks. Water usage resulting from outdoor spigots being left on does not meet the criteria of a leak. As a result, sewer adjustments for situations involving outdoor spigots being left on at any time of the year will no longer be approved.
Residents are encouraged to regularly monitor outdoor water use, check spigots and hoses after use, and take preventive steps to avoid excessive water consumption. Water bills and historical usage data are available through the Town’s online utility portal to help residents monitor water consumption. Suspected leaks should be reported to the Water Department at (317) 858-4147 for verification.
These measures help ensure accurate billing and promote responsible water use throughout the community.
The Town of Brownsburg recognized outstanding community volunteers during its annual Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on February 26, presenting the inaugural Volunteer of the Year Awards to individuals whose service made a meaningful impact throughout the past year.
The newly established awards program highlights volunteers who go beyond service hours to demonstrate leadership, collaboration, and stewardship. Three specialized awards were presented, each reflecting a different aspect of volunteer excellence.
“Our volunteers play a vital role in creating a welcoming, vibrant community,” said Town Council President Ben Lacey. “These new awards allow us to celebrate the individuals and groups who go above and beyond to make Brownsburg a better place for everyone.”
2025 Volunteer of the Year Award Categories
Community Impact AwardThe Community Impact Award recognizes a volunteer-led or volunteer-supported project, event, or initiative that significantly enhanced the community’s experience through thoughtful planning, collaboration, and execution.
Community Impact Award Recipient: Glenn Nulty
Glenn Nulty was recognized for his leadership and dedication in helping bring the inaugural Brownsburg Field of Honor to life last November. Contributing 44 hours of volunteer service, Nulty played a key role in planning and executing the event, including flag placement, community outreach, ceremony organization, and flag tear-down. Throughout the process, he worked closely with staff and volunteers to ensure the event was both impactful and fiscally responsible, helping establish a meaningful new tradition for the community and honoring veterans.
Exceptional Commitment AwardThis award honors a volunteer who demonstrates sustained dedication through reliability, initiative, and a willingness to go beyond typical expectations. The recognition is not based solely on service hours, but on consistent dependability, proactive support, and a positive, professional attitude.
Exceptional Commitment Award Recipient: Joshua Amosu
Joshua Amosu was honored with the Exceptional Commitment Award for his unwavering reliability and willingness to go above and beyond at nearly every major community event throughout the year. Known as the Town’s “go-to” volunteer, Amosu consistently supported events from set-up through tear-down and frequently recruited friends and family to lend a hand.
He volunteered 42 hours of his time in 2025, supporting a wide range of events, including the Father-Daughter Dance, Movies in the Park, the Brownsburg Farmers Market, Trail & Treat, and Christmas Under the Stars, among many others. Whether called upon in advance or at the last minute, Amosu’s dependability, initiative, and positive attitude made him an invaluable support to staff and fellow volunteers.
Conservation Steward AwardThe Conservation Steward Award recognizes a volunteer or volunteer group that has made a meaningful contribution to the care, protection, and stewardship of natural resources within the park system.
Conservation Steward Award Recipient: Steve Tomlinson
Steve Tomlinson received the Conservation Steward Award for his continued dedication to the care and stewardship of Brownsburg’s natural spaces. A familiar presence at nearly every Weed Wrangle, Treesgiving, and large-scale invasive species removal effort, Tomlinson has played a vital role in ongoing conservation initiatives throughout the year.
In addition to conservation events, he also volunteered at the Fall Market and regularly supports invasive species management efforts alongside Parks staff. His experience, perseverance, and passion for stewardship have made a lasting impact and set a strong foundation for future Conservation Steward honorees.
To ensure the program remains fair and meaningful, Volunteer of the Year awards are earned based on defined criteria and are not guaranteed annually. Volunteers may receive only one specialized award per year, and the same award may not be received more than once every three years.
The Town of Brownsburg extends its sincere appreciation to all volunteers whose time, talent, and dedication continue to strengthen the community.

The Brownsburg Town Council has announced the formation of a new Park Advisory Board, a six-member advisory group created to provide guidance, insight, and community perspective on the future of Brownsburg’s parks, public spaces, and recreation programs.
“The Park Advisory Board will serve as a sounding board or think tank for the Town’s parks, public spaces, and recreation programs,” said Parks Director Amber Lane. “The primary purpose is to focus on problem-solving and long-range planning. They help brainstorm and refine ideas before they go to the Town Council or Park Authority.”
The Park Advisory Board will serve in a strictly advisory role and will not have authority over fiscal matters, policy decisions, or personnel. The Town Council will continue to serve as the Park Authority. Budget decisions remain under the purview of the Town Council, park policies are governed by the Park Authority, and staffing and departmental management fall under the Town Manager.
The board will meet quarterly. Meetings will be informal in nature and will not include structured meeting protocols or meeting minutes.
To ensure continuity, the initial appointments will include staggered terms, with two members serving an initial three-year term, two members serving an initial two-year term, and two members serving an initial one-year term. After the initial appointments, all new board members will serve three-year terms.
The following residents have been appointed to serve on the inaugural Park Advisory Board:
Adam Dillman for an initial 1-year term expiring December 31, 2026
Dennis Rosebrough for an initial 1-year term expiring December 31, 2026
George Buck for an initial 2-year term expiring December 31, 2027
Judy Kenninger for an initial 2-year term expiring December 31, 2027
Glenn Nulty for an initial 3-year term expiring December 31, 2028
Chris Worley for an initial 3-year term expiring December 31, 2028
“These individuals bring a range of experiences and perspectives that will be valuable as we continue investing in our parks and green spaces,” said Town Council President Ben Lacey. “The Park Advisory Board will play an important role in shaping how our parks evolve and serve the community.”
The Park Advisory Board is intended to support collaboration, creativity, and thoughtful discussion as Brownsburg continues to invest in and plan for its parks and recreational amenities.
The Town of Brownsburg is proud to celebrate the 134 volunteers and 15 organizations who helped make 2025 a successful year for Brownsburg Parks. Together, these dedicated community members contributed 1,296 volunteer hours, representing a savings of $41,233.78 in labor costs, and made a meaningful impact across our parks, programs, and events.
Throughout the year, volunteers were essential partners in supporting day-to-day operations, large-scale projects, special events, and ongoing park maintenance. Their time, energy, and passion continue to enhance the quality of Brownsburg’s parks and recreational experiences while strengthening the sense of community that makes our town special.
Volunteers supported important environmental and beautification efforts, helping care for our green spaces through initiatives such as Weed Wrangle, Treesgiving, and habitat restoration projects. Eagle Scout projects also made lasting improvements to our parks, including installing bat houses at Virgil Park and new benches along the Maple Ridge Trail at Williams Park.
Community events were another area where volunteers stepped in. From the Father-Daughter Dance and Brownsburg Farmers Market to Blues in the ’Burg and seasonal favorites like Hopping Down the Bunny Trail, Mother and Son Bonfire, and the Howl-O-Ween Dog Costume Contest, volunteers helped ensure these events were welcoming, safe, and memorable.
In 2025, volunteers also played a key role in bringing the Town’s first Brownsburg Field of Honor to life. Their efforts included placing American flags on Town Hall Green, preparing flag tags, writing thank-you cards, assisting with the Veterans Day Ceremony, and respectfully removing flags at the close of the display.
We also extend our sincere thanks to our volunteer videographer, who captured these meaningful moments and helped preserve them for years to come.

The Town of Brownsburg celebrated the installation of a new interactive play and learning feature at the Outdoor Classroom at Williams Park with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Thursday, January 22.
The new feature, the Play & Learn College, was made possible through a grant from the Parks Foundation of Hendricks County and is designed to encourage imaginative play, creativity, and outdoor learning. The installation features hands-on elements, including a double-sided chalkboard, benches of varying heights for inclusive engagement, and interactive components such as an abacus, clock, bell, and number board.
“This project is a great example of how partnerships and grant funding can directly enhance quality of life for Brownsburg families,” said Town Council President Ben Lacey. “The Play & Learn College creates new opportunities for children to learn and grow through play in a natural, outdoor setting.”
The Outdoor Classroom at Williams Park has long served as a space for nature-based learning and sensory experiences. The addition of the Play & Learn College builds on that mission by supporting early learning, fine motor development, and social interaction for children of all ages.
The Town of Brownsburg extends its appreciation to the Parks Foundation of Hendricks County for its investment in this project and its continued support of park improvements throughout the community.
The Play & Learn College is available for public use during normal park hours at the Outdoor Classroom at Williams Park, 707 S Alpha Ave.

Mail Fraud: How Digital Payments Can Offset the Rising Threat
Mail fraud can negatively impact both individuals and organizations. Here are some common types of damages associated with mail fraud:
Financial Losses
Monetary loss is one of the most common effects of mail fraud. Unfortunately, it isn’t always a given that mail fraud victims recoup the entirety of the funds taken from them — and even when their money is returned, the process can take weeks or even months. This leaves victims unable to cover basic expenses while they await justice.
Identity Theft
Thieves may use stolen information to impersonate individuals, leading to identity theft. This can result in unauthorized access to personal accounts, manipulation of personal information, and potential misuse of identity for malicious purposes.
Data Breaches
Getting unauthorized access to certain accounts may allow mail thieves to take their attack beyond an individual and target organizations. If employees fall victim to mail fraud that inadvertently discloses sensitive corporate information, data breaches become plausible, which can compromise the security of an organization and its customers.
