Well, it's been quite a while since I posted here. I believe I will try to use this avenue of communication more often and try to get the word out to look here for things going on in Cumberland. We have a great many tasks coming up and it is difficult to get the information out to district 5 residents.
I was able to pass an ordinance requiring building permit applications to be accompanied by a letter from the HOA for the residents neighborhood, stating that the work in question meets the association covenants.
Also i was able to secure changes to the town building code to be more precise on what is required and a more stringent path for recourse if the codes are not met. For example, it is now required in the code that the work that is done is the same work that the permit is pulled for. Changes to the plans now require review by the town to ensure that the permit is updated.

About Me
- Joseph Siefker
- Hello, My name is Joe Siefker. I have lived in Cumberland since 2003. I was the President of the Valley Brook Village HOA for 4 yrs. Prior to moving here, we lived near Kalamazoo, Michigan. I was on the zoning board of appeals for Cooper Township for 4 years. I then was moved up to the Zoning Board, on which I served for 2 years before having to give up the post to move to the Indianapolis area. So I have spent the last 9 years serving my friends and neighbors and would like to continue to do so on the Cumberland Town Council. I work with radiation therapy cancer patients in Indy as my day job and have had this career for 20 years. I am married and have 2 daughters in the Mt Vernon School district.
