CARMEL, IN – After consulting with medical experts and receiving assurances of compliance with the new guidelines from all golf courses in Carmel, Mayor Jim Brainard has announced that they will reopen. A copy of the mayor’s new executive Order 2020-05 is attached.

 

“Fresh air and recreation are even more important to us at this time of social distancing, but viewing social media posts where our social distancing restrictions were clearly being violated made it clear yesterday that action must be taken. I spent several hours discussing new guidelines and recommendations that would better ensure a healthier environment for play. I am pleased that we were able to find a way to allow golf courses to open with several adjustments. If we see further violations, we will revisit the closings again,” said Mayor Brainard.

 

Courses that are open have agreed to the following protocols:

1. Golf Shop, Clubhouse and all restrooms must be closed
2. Take out service only with no entry into clubhouse by members
3. Walking only;  No riding carts or push carts unless they are privately owned
4. No rakes in bunkers
5. Driving range closed
6. On course restrooms closed
7. No tee markers on golf course
8. No water coolers
9. No flagsticks
10. Staff cannot assist with handling bags/clubs
11. Holes must be filled so players don’t reach into hole for ball

CARMEL, IN – Mayor Jim Brainard is signing a new order today declaring a local disaster emergency, prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Among the new orders, an end to unnecessary travel, the closure of all Carmel public playgrounds and an advisory to local work-out facilities to close and for banks to remain open, but only with ATM and drive-thru services.

             

“I realize that the steps we are taking are difficult for local business owners and residents, but we must act quickly and we must act now to prevent the further spread of this deadly virus that has brought much pain and death to China and European countries and is threatening to do the same here in the United States of America,” said Mayor Brainard. “The pain we are experiencing today is nowhere near the pain we will most certainly experience if we sit back and do nothing. I urge all Carmel residents to join me in fighting this virus.”

 

Effective today, Wednesday, March 18 beginning at 7 p.m., travel in the city of Carmel is only permitted for the following reasons: Medical reasons, providing care to one who you’re the primary caregiver for, mandatory work activities, food, groceries, medication, essential household goods, and hygiene products.

This Declaration will be in effect until a further declaration is issued or as determined by the Mayor of the City of Carmel.

CARMEL, IN – To ensure the health and safety of our community the following temporary changes will be made to residential trash and recycling collection in Carmel.   These changes will take place on Friday March 27, 2020 and will be in effect until April 7, 2020 and may be extended if warranted.  

 

While basic trash and recyclables pick up will continue, the City of Carmel Utilities and Republic Services have temporarily suspended bulk item and bulky landscape waste pick up beginning on Friday, March 27th. Any previously arranged and paid for service will take place as scheduled.

 

Trash and recyclables collection will continue through their respective carts. Trash is to be bagged and recyclables kept loose.

 

The basic service in Carmel also includes 20 extra bags of landscape waste per week during the months of April & May and October 15th through December 15th.  That aspect of the service will continue but may be subject to change.  Extra bags of landscape waste may be picked up by a truck other than your regular trash truck. There also might be a delay in service for bagged landscape waste. Residents are requested to put bagged landscape waste in their trash cart whenever possible.  

 

Republic Services is taking every precaution necessary to limit the exposure to the virus for all of their employees. Bulk item pick up requires two staff members to travel together and work as a team to remove objects. This close proximity is not recommended by health experts.

 

For questions regarding trash service please contact Republic Services at 317-917-7300.  Detailed recycling questions can be answered at www.recyclingsimplified.com.

 

Questions about residential trash billing can be directed to 317-571-2442.
