Police also logged 20 crash reports and described recent training activity.

\"From January 20th to 24th, Lieutenant Williamson attended the FBI LETA Command Leadership Course,\" Officer Jason Morgan reported, and he noted that Officer Jason Morgan (reported as attending SHOT Show) reviewed new equipment and training opportunities.

Fire Department Chief Batts told the board Lebanon Fire responded to 133 emergency calls, logged 478 training hours and completed 52 commercial inspections. He noted recent ice and cold-water rescue training at a conservation-club pond and highlighted firefighter certifications and volunteer work, including department members' participation in the Hoosier burn camp.

Parks and Recreation Director John Messer reported seasonal work: downtown holiday decorations will be taken down early the next week with utilities' assistance, the department is concluding interview rounds for full-time maintenance and water-park captain/manager positions, and maintenance crews are trimming brush along the Big Four Trail.

Public works updates from Jason Lawson included a single snow event that used 50 tons of salt over 30 hours, replacement and repair of street signs, pothole repairs and stormwater work. He said parts for a Camp Street crosswalk are in and installation scheduling is pending.

Communications and community development staff said a Lebanon story booth project received $10,000 in grant funding to repurpose an old phone booth as a community story booth and that the city's \"Love and Lebanon\" podcast continues; episode 200 is scheduled for release and staff noted interviews related to local employers and projects.

Taken together, department reports covered public-safety responses, training and inspections, seasonal maintenance and an array of outreach and hiring activity ahead of spring and summer work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Lebanon, Indiana Board of Works Meeting 1/27/25","oneSentenceSummary","At the Jan. 27 meeting Lebanon police reported 747 calls with 19 arrests; fire reported 133 emergency calls and extensive training; parks and utilities staff described seasonal decoration removal, hiring and maintenance work; communications said a $10,000 story-booth grant and podcasts will highlight city programs.","taxTitle","Lebanon City, Boone County, Indiana","taxId",70536,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6368481,"Planning department reports record residential permits and rising code-enforcement activity",464,1146000,1610000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2157149-8f72493a57e095dd6406c417f8622a90&start=1146&end=1610","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2157149-8f72493a57e095dd6406c417f8622a90/thumbnail_1146000.jpg","/articles/6368481/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Planning-department-reports-record-residential-permits-and-rising-code-enforcement-activity","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6368481-1f1e3730e0d8bfc3007d1b10367ece89/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186831&Signature=lhT1cWJFgUTZfnIh9Ry~7c13PNTH97-Nl6fxcMjzXyyUCHUcb4jQlxHEQhNFriziT2K4noffOS4PqGN75jyq5Xv88~vC9L6XPkfhXAxgxUkovXgGkV03M3CIGFusvRioSdR0NiZNS65Ak8Ad0gcZQ2CkVtXhgrrlgojffHbEHj-8DrKC2NzPoBvZ2mFoZqCPRcNhjPoIRkPNYhtwW4wHHwaRT2rp4ripSl8VKIMI9XKCGDTMLHrbCRKYee7ltZN0kVOEcWVYtSPFP7erN5bhmsHm~jKRrQvfPP73He7iQMnoa2yzwjS4RXvbxHEzI01Bwb8rO8h~4IZS1hsqL5VUag__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Ben Bonhoeffer, presenting the planning department's report at the Jan. 27 Board of Works meeting, said the city issued 154 new single-family permits in 2024 and recorded substantial commercial and multifamily permitting tied to large developments.

\"In 2024, we did a 154 new single family permits and that's a high point for us,\" Bonhoeffer said, and he noted the city issued 246 multifamily units tied to a single project identified in his remarks as the Belkanto development.

Bonhoeffer outlined commercial and industrial permitting activity, saying the city exceeded 1,000,000 square feet of commercial/industrial permits in the past year, driven in part by the Eli Lilly project on the city's west side. He said the Lilly Medicine Foundry project is expected to begin site work in late spring and move vertical by summer, describing it as a multi-building campus of roughly one million square feet.

On code enforcement, Bonhoeffer said staff recorded 2,007 unique enforcement activities in 2024 (emails, citations, follow-ups) and 877 new cases; the department's voluntary compliance rate was described as \"95 to 98%\". Bonhoeffer said staff planned to provide year-end totals and charts to council members upon request.

Bonhoeffer closed by noting that planning is still active in the winter months: the department completed 90 building inspections and issued 20 permits in the most recent period presented to the board, including seven new single-family homes.

The numbers suggest continued residential growth and increasing enforcement workload for the planning department; staff said they will provide more detailed year-end materials to the council on request.","Planning staff told the Board of Works the city issued a high of 154 single-family permits in 2024, processed roughly 1,000+ new code-enforcement cases and saw more than 2,000 related actions during the year; large commercial projects including an Eli Lilly campus also remain active.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6368486,"Engineering department outlines spring projects including $3 million detention pond and Grant Street Phase 2 schedule",616,747000,1363000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2157149-8f72493a57e095dd6406c417f8622a90&start=747&end=1363","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2157149-8f72493a57e095dd6406c417f8622a90/thumbnail_747000.jpg","/articles/6368486/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Engineering-department-outlines-spring-projects-including-3-million-detention-pond-and-Grant-Street-Phase-2-schedule","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6368486-6279b342d704790065c97b66685fbd7a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186831&Signature=UlU8~3QKm~CiXriyWs~aAG7NYG9u4CaCshU9X9pdCSafeY9~ArriR8hspxHjJzGw8xHfsdu2362LJRxhmY6u~YhRxiVGFcv0r8g944I7kBePpBOP4iiSdpeLnwkQdYK3QVFLOhsujoyGcGNind11MXIuUtD4gk0SWVKDVpwNurDd9ApAew-DNk5QT4vLYMABiPHbMImUEeed-UHF49ZQM0LudJ~QWCyKJCFRW2gDV~yqPvUsuJfmddPPh40LT~sfPNMyVozTnPsKQQg-SMoRm70R0etFkyCEGAFjbyYI~a8CPnjeEdj4qEcQN~CUlIWKw3jQA89ISJCI3dgyNTPikw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Kevin Krolick, speaking for the engineering department at the Jan. 27 Lebanon Board of Works meeting, outlined a slate of projects the city expects to advance this spring and summer, including a regional detention pond with an estimated budget around $3,000,000 and the Grant Street Phase 2 reconstruction.

\"We're really in that time of year where we're getting ready for projects, getting funding appropriations in place, contracts set up, and getting ready to tee things off as we come into spring,\" Krolick said during his report.

Krolick listed several projects with current funding or pending requests: a regional detention pond budgeted at around $3,000,000; ditch restoration and trip-hazard repairs in the Chadwick neighborhood (funding figures in the transcript were stated as \"350,200,000, respectively,\" a phrasing the city representative used while summarizing multiple line items); the Grant Street project, where phase 1 is nearing closeout and phase 2 is expected to bid in summer 2025 with a potential 2025 funding need of $842,905; and an Elizaville Road/Elm Swamp intersection project with an approximate value of $250,000.

Krolick said the city received 11 letters of interest for construction inspection services on Grant Street Phase 2 and that a small committee will recommend a consultant. He also discussed work on Witt Road (categorical exclusion filed with the state), Noble Street funding requests, an HVAC completion at Oaks on Main, and redevelopment projects at South 39 linked to RDC awards and the REDI grant program.

Public works resurfacing work was discussed as well. Krolick told the board the city received a Community Crossing grant of $627,000 and opened bids for resurfacing; the low bid was cited as $1,222,022.86. Krolick said some resurfacing line items are ineligible for the grant and staff estimated a portion of the grant applied at about $581,000, \"leaving us with about $762,000\" to cover the rest as presented to the board.

Krolick also raised other 2025 items: a food-and-beverage funding request of about $105,000 for pickleball courts, a revised fire station floor plan under budget review, and demolition and redevelopment planning for the old street garage site.

Krolick closed by noting additional work items and that staff would return with recommendations on consultant selections and funding appropriations.

The engineering report outlined the city's near-term capital plan and identified funding steps and procurement milestones that will appear before the board and city council in coming weeks.","Engineering staff told the Board of Works the city is preparing multiple spring and summer construction projects, headlined by a roughly $3 million regional detention pond and the Grant Street Phase 2 reconstruction; staff also reported funding requests and procurement steps for several neighborhood and downtown projects.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6368492,"Lebanon Board of Works approves Grant Boulevard closure, several contracts and consultant selections",509,1703000,2212000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2157149-8f72493a57e095dd6406c417f8622a90&start=1703&end=2212","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2157149-8f72493a57e095dd6406c417f8622a90/thumbnail_1703000.jpg","/articles/6368492/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Lebanon-Board-of-Works-approves-Grant-Boulevard-closure-several-contracts-and-consultant-selections","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6368492-a23957dd4833f0417bcd5f861fb9aba4/orig.mp4?Expires=1771186831&Signature=nXgJUjCMwhNDYtCfJt4kff7CQJiEV4UydjG1l6KcaJWTbdvbVGRzLeBhktcoRfDli2Z82ry-CtwLYiQqPIMyz0e6pPqNGpoHx8mwAvcxbcIOHMndkSHYHSrS2mHYWp-7b4vJWQFtTaWEtrt3EXb94rZ~RW458PzjDUy06sUUSeY5p61qXbnkKQophaS~T-C16Yx11~to-3xqQfbyyK6gdk13D~NwEE55viVOU3eRzgSKgJiRccU~ngS3MdiQWrMK2tiTpruDhTvpN2xAf1Cqc4ZtRAZV9FM5kL0Tcn2EYhuh0h6LJQ0Ux~P-l3eUdFHn6bcOwJ53MAKOZ8-249QWOQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon Board of Works on Jan. 27 approved a full intersection closure at Grant Boulevard and Angelie Way for water-main installation, accepted vendor quotes for office furniture and a house demolition, and authorized engineering agreements to support the city's upcoming construction projects.

The actions aim to clear the way for near-term construction and routine city operations. Board members voted on five procurement and project-selection items after departmental presentations and brief public exchanges.

Grant Boulevard closure: Jason Lawson of the public works department presented a request from inspections for a full closure at the Grant Boulevard/Angelie Way intersection \"for water main installation.\" The board approved the closure after a motion and second; the board discussed the closure's local traffic impacts and noted it would primarily affect Chadwick neighborhood access.

Office furniture purchase: Kevin Krolick, presenting procurement results, said the city issued an invitation to quote to outfit two new offices in the clerk/treasurer's area. \"RDS returned the lowest, most responsive, and responsible quote at $5,491 to outfit those 2 new offices with office furniture,\" Krolick said. The board authorized contracting with RDS, subject to legal review and the mayor's signature.

1313 South Beck Street demolition: Krolick said the city received three quotes to demolish the house at 1313 South Beck Street and recommended Ace Paving and Demolition as the lowest responsive bidder at $17,900. The board approved entering a contract with Ace, subject to legal review.

On-call traffic consulting: The board authorized an on-call services agreement with A&F Engineering Company LLC for 2025 traffic and transportation consulting. Krolick described the agreement as an on-call arrangement that establishes hourly rates and allows the city to retain outside traffic experts to review traffic-impact studies and provide recommendations.

Grant Street Phase 2 construction inspection: After reviewing 11 letters of interest, city staff recommended Crossroads Engineers for construction inspection services on the Grant Street Phase 2 reconstruction project (Grant Street from State Road 39 to Washington Street). The board authorized staff to begin contract negotiations with Crossroads; no dollar amount was presented at selection because the INDOT process required qualifications-based selection before pricing.

Votes at a glance:
- Grant Boulevard / Angelie Way full intersection closure for water-main installation: approved (motion made; second from Bill Stoner recorded). Notes: City will notify residents; closure affects Chadwick neighborhood access.
- Clerk/treasurer office furniture: RDS, $5,491, approved (contract to be executed subject to legal review).
- Demolition, 1313 South Beck Street: Ace Paving and Demolition, $17,900, approved (subject to legal review).
- 2025 on-call traffic consulting: A&F Engineering Company LLC, approved (on-call agreement; no dollar amount specified at selection).
- Construction inspection selection, Grant Street Phase 2: Crossroads Engineers, authorized for negotiation and contract development (qualifications selection; price to be negotiated and returned for approval).

The board also approved the claims presented at the meeting and set the next Board of Works meeting for Feb. 10 at 5:30 p.m.

Mayor Gentry presided over the meeting. The approvals advance several spring construction and procurement steps the city described earlier in departmental reports.","At its Jan. 27 meeting the Lebanon Board of Works approved a full intersection closure for a water-main installation, accepted multiple vendor quotes for furniture and demolition, and authorized on-call and project-specific engineering agreements to support upcoming infrastructure work.","actionData","errors"]
