Mayor’s Office, United Way Kick Off 2011 Winter Assistance Fund
Area Donors Step Up to Ensure Local Residents Who Need Help Most Stay Warm
Mayor Greg Ballard and United Way of Central Indiana (UWCI) President and CEO Ellen K. Annala today kicked off the 2011 Winter Assistance Fund drive by accepting $215,000 from four local donors, putting the fund within $135,000 of the goal of $350,000 set by United Way and the City of Indianapolis.
“The Winter Assistance Fund is one of Indianapolis’ great collaborations,” said Mayor Ballard. “It speaks volumes about the character of our local companies, foundations and residents that we are able to meet the needs of so many Indianapolis residents. The fund has had a dramatic impact on the community and so have the contributions of individuals who recognize how great the need is for their neighbors.”
Calls for utility assistance to Connect2Help, a United Way agency that operates the 2-1-1 telephone information and referral service, have skyrocketed 387 percent in the past five years, and United Way anticipates the increased need to continue. The start-up contributions announced today are $75,000 from Citizens Energy Group, $50,000 from Indianapolis Power & Light, $80,000 from Nina Mason Pulliam Charitable Trust and $10,000 from The Indianapolis Foundation, a CICF affiliate.
The Winter Assistance Fund is for Marion County residents whose income exceeds guidelines for government energy assistance, yet still have difficulty keeping up with high winter heating bills. Last year, the fund helped 1,376 households, including seniors and families with children, by raising $450,167 in assistance.
“We are now in the third year of this economic downturn. Families who have been ‘just holding on’ are moving into crisis, and the organizations who serve them are also facing resource challenges. Keeping people fed, in their homes, and warm must be a priority for our community, if we are to avoid increases in homelessness, hunger and death,” Annala said.
Residents can dial Connect2Help 2-1-1 to find the nearest neighborhood community center or township trustee office to apply for help through the Winter Assistance Fund.
Customers of Citizens Energy Group and IPL will receive Winter Assistance Fund contribution envelopes in their gas and electric bills, providing opportunities for individuals to give to the fund. Contributions are tax deductible and can also be made online at www.uwci.org or by mailing a check to: United Way of Central Indiana, Winter Assistance Fund, P.O. Box 660054, Indianapolis, IN 46266-0054.

Indianapolis Sets Record for New Job Commitments, Capital Investment in 2010
More than 8,700 new jobs and $934 million in investment promised by 73 companies
Mayor Greg Ballard and Scott Miller, CEO of Develop Indy, announced today that Indianapolis secured commitments for 8,737 new jobs and $934 million in capital investment in 2010, setting new record highs for both. The announcement was made today on the City’s Northwestside at Hat World, Inc., one of 73 companies that committed to hiring new workers.
“Our aggressive pursuit of new jobs is paying off,” said Mayor Ballard. “Not only did we secure commitments for more new jobs and a greater amount of capital investment in 2010 than any other year on record, we exceeded the total number of new job commitments secured from 2003 through 2005 combined. Our pro-business attitude and the business-friendly climate that exists in Indianapolis continue to allow us to retain and grow our existing companies while making it much easier to attract new companies to our city.
The greatest number of new job commitments came from the life sciences industry with 3,761, followed by information technology with 1,466 and logistics with 1,323. The average wage for new jobs is $23.81 per hour, as compared to $21.48 in 2009.
Develop Indy also worked with Indianapolis-based companies to retain 7,159 jobs with an average wage of $22.59 per hour, as compared to $21.83 in 2009. The greatest number of retained jobs was in the life sciences industry with 3,391 jobs. The second and third highest numbers of retained jobs were in advanced manufacturing with 1,168 and logistics with 1,043.
“We are thrilled that even during challenging economic times, companies overwhelmingly chose Indianapolis as the place to hire new workers and invest capital,” said Miller. “However, with many Indianapolis residents still looking for work, we won’t take these successes for granted. We will continue to implement strategies to retain and grow our existing companies and attract new companies to our city, concentrating our efforts on industries such as life sciences and information technology that are poised for further significant growth.”
Dow AgroSciences, Arcadia Health Care, AIT Laboratories, Hat World, Inc., Ascension Health, Beckman Coulter, Dallara, Clarian Health, USA Football, Exact Target, and Fusion Alliance were among the list of new and growing companies in Indianapolis in 2010.
Miller also noted an increase in the ratio of private dollars versus public dollars invested through incentive programs, including tax abatement.
“In 2010, for every dollar of public money invested in tax abatement, the City received private investment commitments of $17.88, the highest ratio in the past decade. Simply put, more private investment is following the public dollars used to attract these businesses than any other time in the recent past,” Miller said.
Since 2008, Develop Indy has secured commitments from companies to create or retain 36,500 jobs and invest more than $1.4 billion in Indianapolis. In early 2010, the City of Indianapolis increased its funding of Develop Indy so the organization could add additional staff and provide additional resources to companies seeking to expand or locate to Indianapolis.

Fifty-Count Complaint Filed Against Alleged Negligent Landlord
Nuisance case is first to be filed of many under investigation and review
INDIANAPOLIS – City Prosecutor Helen Marchal and Health and Hospital Attorney Amy Jones today filed a 50-count complaint against property owner Peter Kisenko for alleged health code and zoning violations at 15 of Kisenko’s rental properties in Marion County. The filing is a joint effort between the City’s Department of Code Enforcement, Health and Hospital Corp., and the City Prosecutor's Office.
“Peter Kisenko has a troublesome track record as a landlord. For more than a decade, his rental properties have been the subject of numerous code violations and police activity,” said City Prosecutor Marchal. “This case serves as proof that a comprehensive, multi-agency enforcement approach transcends traditional efforts. We no longer are just responding to complaints; we are proactively investigating negligent landlords.”
In addition to the code violations, the City alleges that Kisenko’s actions and failures to act as a responsible landlord have created a public nuisance. This claim allows the City to request reimbursement for costs associated with the inspection and enforcement time and resources related to the adjudication of health code violations, civil zoning violations, and criminal violations as well as punitive damages. Kisenko faces possible civil fines of more than $300,000 if found in violation of the current code violations. If determined to be in violation of the state public nuisance count, the City also would request substantial fines.
“Great cities are made up of great neighborhoods. For the past three years, we have been dedicated to revitalizing our community by investing in our crumbling infrastructure, strengthening public safety and building neighborhoods of which our residents can be proud, and we are committed to continuing these efforts,” said Mayor Greg Ballard. “For too long, negligent landlords have been a drain on city resources. If you are in the business of rentals and income-producing properties, you must be responsible to your tenants, your neighbors and the people of Marion County.”
The case against Kisenko is the first complaint to be filed of many nuisance cases under investigation and review by the Department of Code Enforcement; Nuisance Abatement; Health and Hospital Corp. and the attorneys representing those entities.
