Randy said the property at 431 Schultz Street \"is almost 98% clean as of right now,\" and he asked the board to table enforcement for one week to allow completion. The board voted to table the matter for one week.

A second property, 1527 High Street, had a mattress and other bulky refuse that had not been collected on schedule; Randy said the item had been left past the scheduled bulk pickup date. The board approved a cleanup request for 1527 High Street.

The board reviewed 201 East Main Avenue (recorded in the meeting transcript as \"201 East Miami Avenue\" in one exchange). The property owner said a dumpster would arrive on Monday and that no building permits had been pulled; staff told the owner that a dumpster placed on a street must have a street permit and that required building permits must be pulled before continuing work. The board voted to table 201 East Main/Avenue until the Feb. 19 meeting and directed staff to verify that the dumpster permit is in place and that required building permits are obtained.

Finally, the board considered a cleanup at 760 North Fifth Street (referred to in discussion near the record as an affected rental). Staff and board members agreed to table that matter until Feb. 19, pairing its timeline with the nearby property so staff could verify both had completed required cleanup and permitting.

Why it matters: the board used its enforcement authority to press for completed cleanups and proper permitting for rental properties, and it set explicit follow-up dates so staff can verify compliance before escalating enforcement.

During the discussion staff raised these operational clarifications:

- Dumpster placement on the street requires a street permit; staff will verify permits before the next board meeting.
- Building work requires permits from the Building Department; if permits are not pulled, staff said work must stop.
- If a property functions as a duplex rather than single-family, larger or additional trash containers may be required; staff asked owners to coordinate with the city to confirm waste-service needs.

Board action details (motions and outcomes):

- Table 431 Schultz Street for one week to allow cleanup in progress. Outcome: tabled (3–0).
- Approve property cleanup action for 1527 High Street. Outcome: approved (3–0).
- Table 201 East Main Avenue until Feb. 19, 2025; staff to verify dumpster permit and required building permits. Outcome: tabled (3–0).
- Table 760 North Fifth Street until Feb. 19, 2025; pair with related property verification. Outcome: tabled (3–0).

The board instructed staff to follow up and report back at the Feb. 19 meeting on dumpster permits, building-permit pulls and on-the-ground cleanup verification.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works 02/5/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Logansport Board of Works reviewed multiple code-enforcement cases Feb. 5, tabling two cleanup orders to Feb. 19, approving one cleanup order, and directing property owners to obtain dumpster and building permits when required.","taxTitle","Logansport City, Cass County, Indiana","taxId",63775,"location","Indiana","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6349359,"Logansport Board approves routine claims, contracts, personnel moves and permits",1460,236000,1696000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2238981-4bdb37e84e03b1d97e7c52ea202d76aa&start=236&end=1696","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2238981-4bdb37e84e03b1d97e7c52ea202d76aa/thumbnail_236000.jpg","/articles/6349359/Indiana/Logansport-Board-approves-routine-claims-contracts-personnel-moves-and-permits","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6349359-76b8da2481c79a2d380e11a25382c385/orig.mp4?Expires=1771183046&Signature=KsFR7~E~Q6ZRdrxcP3ACvkd4Eq8VEWkNcXQvn-JMEDLmb4NZStgCH4AgQGcAEx2cbjb5gV-2wprA6h55E9NCn-wQYobeOI43BJ0WdG1hMNH-ekeWNULN8z2RqCsCT3jWsn683yfx6BwV5sg~WJvikLyb~uo0P7Lf9fOlvu0kStRHe99I6btzgrkrnawUcPWxpJeaq2mGRJjGek5B2ajogIXzkAHMRMDBDIrWW4caYXEYL7SF~rT4OAFMiVOgj~hihPGTqtemCT1VdviOsG5XO-2n6dLJe2rhhcapbciz2pbP-QlWKueBMIKy7fbktnRBDkzjxIwm~nkDF8DypU-frw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Mayor Chris Martin presided over the Logansport City Board of Works meeting on Feb. 5, and the board approved a slate of routine claims, contracts and personnel actions.

The board voted to approve claims totaling $887,396.14, which the clerk said included payroll and a series of department-specific disbursements. The board also approved contract and permit items presented by staff, including a construction change order, deed-preparation work, building-department and code-enforcement reports, and several right-of-way and street-cut permits.

Why it matters: these votes finalize spending and administrative steps that allow ongoing projects, property transfers and daily city operations to proceed without delay.
