Trafalgar Town Manager - Bryan Gregg

05/29/2026

Yesterday was a great day in Trafalgar.

We were honored to welcome Congressman Jefferson Shreve to our community to meet with our community leaders, first responders, engineers, and residents to discuss a potential Community Project Funding (CPF) request that could help fund significant improvements to Trafalgar's water supply infrastructure.

Joining the conversation to discuss how they are impacted by water availability we were joined by Indian Creek Schools Superintendent - Matt Prusiecki, Fire Chief - Mark Dunn, members of the Trafalgar Fire Department, Bryan Tearman and Lindsey Henson from Prince's Lakes, engineering from HWC Engineers, and Trafalgar water engineer - Thomas Barclay with Commonwealth Engineers.

Before the meeting, Congressman Shreve's team hosted open office hours at Town Hall, giving residents the opportunity to connect directly with congressional staff. Congressman Shreve then spent time getting to know our community and hearing about both the opportunities and challenges we face.

One of the highlights of the visit was spending time with Fire Chief Mark Dunn and members of the Trafalgar Fire Department who shared information about the department and the new tanker that was placed into service last year.

The infrastructure project discussed has the potential to strengthen our water system, improve fire protection capabilities, provide critical redundancy in our water supply, and help improve ISO ratings, which can ultimately lower homeowner insurance costs. Most importantly, if awarded through CPF funding, these improvements could be made without passing costs to our residents.

We appreciate Congressman Shreve taking the time to visit Trafalgar, listen to our community, and learn more about how he can assist in advocating and supporting our future.

The Daily Journal did an excellent job covering the visit and the discussion. I encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read the article and learn more about this exciting opportunity for Trafalgar by following their link.

Appreciation goes out to every individual involved in the program and the meaningful contributions each class member has made throughout the past year.

Utility Superintendent Jeff Stookey was spotted hard at work preparing conduit installation work tied to future planning efforts at the amphitheater space. Projects like this represent the behind the scenes preparation and long term thinking that help position Trafalgar for future growth and expanded community opportunities. We're very grateful for Jeff and the many responsibilities he takes on daily to help keep projects moving forward throughout the town.

Amy Barile of Teal Canary toured Trafalgar to explore opportunities for future community art installations and creative placemaking projects. The visit focused on identifying public spaces where art could enhance community identity, support local engagement, and add character throughout town.

- Trafalgar Garden Club Annual Sale

The Trafalgar Garden Club hosted its annual plant sale this weekend, drawing residents together for another successful community tradition. The event provided a great opportunity to learn more about gardening, connect with community members, and support a longstanding local organization while picking up some incredibly healthy plants for spring planting season. The Garden Club meets monthly at the Trafalgar Library and is actively WELCOMING NEW MEMBERS, (I was told, especially younger individuals) interested in becoming involved and helping continue the organization’s legacy.

- First Lemonade Stand Stop of 2026

Warm weather and perfect timing allowed for the first lemonade stand visit of 2026 over the weekend, a tradition that continues bringing smiles throughout the community each year.

I held a meeting with Michael Clark from BAM Weather to gain a deeper understanding of how weather impacts community events and emergency preparedness. We discussed how BAM Weather’s Clarity tool empowers municipalities and organizations across the country to proactively protect lives during potential weather events. We are excited to partner with BAM and utilize their cutting edge technology and expertise to bring this level of planning and protection to the Trafalgar community. We are incredibly fortunate to have an innovative company of this caliber located right here in Johnson County.

Fire Chief Funkhouser facilitated the meeting and shared examples of how BAM Weather and the Clarity tools are already benefiting other communities throughout Johnson County. This is another important proactive step toward improving safety and long term planning.

Strong business partnerships are essential to creating a thriving local economy.

I was both surprised and incredibly grateful to accept this recognition on behalf of the Town of Trafalgar. This award reflects the tremendous community support and continued investment in creating quality experiences and gathering spaces for residents and visitors alike.

- Primary Election Day and Community

During the Primary Election holiday, I chose to volunteer and work the polls at the Trafalgar Library. I spent the day alongside 5 incredible neighbors where new friendships were formed and meaningful conversations were shared with many members of our community. Opportunities like this are a reminder of the importance of civic engagement and the value of personal connection within our communities.

- Community Leadership Congratulations

Following the election, I had the opportunity to congratulate our Civic Support Coordinator, Jodi Alvey, on her winning election as the next Trustee for F.U.N. Township. We are incredibly proud of Jodi and look forward to supporting her as she transitions into this important leadership role serving the Johnson County community.

- Leadership Johnson County

I attended my final Leadership Johnson County class prior to graduation and greatly appreciated the camaraderie and fellowship shared throughout this experience. The program has been an incredible opportunity for personal and professional growth, and I am grateful for everyone who shared this journey with me. I was especially thankful that one of my mentors, Dave Maurer, was able to attend and share in this final class experience. Dave has contributed greatly to Leadership Johnson County and many other organizations throughout the community, and I am grateful to call him a friend.

- Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Protection

Representatives from WrightTech visited Town Hall to discuss cybersecurity strategies and protection options for municipal operations and infrastructure. It was an informative meeting focused on proactive planning to protect municipalities from increasing outside cyber threats. Planning ahead and investing in preventative measures remain critical to maintaining secure operations for the future.

- Municipal Collaboration

I had the opportunity to meet with Bargersville Town Manager, Dax Norton, and Whiteland Town Manager, Carmen Young, to share strategy, ideas, and experiences. I am fortunate to have such capable and dedicated leaders neighboring Trafalgar, and I always appreciate opportunities to collaborate and learn from the great work taking place in their communities.

- Johnson County Story Project

Megan Yeagy and I, representing the Johnson County Story Project, met with Jody Veldkamp and Todd Jones from the Johnson County Public Library at the Clark Pleasant Branch to plan upcoming events recognizing and honoring individuals who participated in this important Johnson County history initiative. We are excited for the project to soon be on display throughout JCPL library locations and appreciate the partnership helping bring these stories to the community.

- Innovation at the Trafalgar Library

I also had the opportunity to stop by the Trafalgar Library to witness a mural being painted by a robot! It was incredible technology to experience firsthand, and I am always excited to see the innovative ways our local library continues investing in educational opportunities and adding to the resources for our community.
