Changes to board's makeup suggested Jehl: City Council should have appointee for CIB DAVE GONG | The Journal Gazette Fort Wayne City Councilman Russ Jehl believes changing the makeup of the Allen County Fort Wayne Capital Improvement Board will foster better communication between the mayor's office and the City Council on economic development issues. That's why Jehl, R-2nd, sponsored a resolution formally asking the Indiana General Assembly to change the Capital Improvement Board's makeup and allow the City Council to appoint a member. The measure was approved in an 8-0 preliminary City Council vote Tuesday. The board, Jehl said, is important because it deals in a large amount of tax revenue. The Capital Improvement Board is responsible for disbursement of the Allen County Supplemental Food and Beverage Tax. It also oversees operation of Grand Wayne Center.
