Planning speaker Von Trager reported the department completed 43 building inspections and issued 47 permits in the last two weeks, including three new single-family permits. \"We're still seeing some pretty regular and good activity there on the single-family side,\" Von Trager said.

The department has received two rezone requests for adjacent properties on State Road 32 that are currently zoned light industrial; both property owners seek rezoning to general business to enable commercial development in front of a shell building. Von Trager said the rezone applications will appear before the Planning Commission in April.

Von Trager also said staff will present the city's comprehensive-plan update to the Planning Commission at the April meeting; the update reflects changes since the last plan five years ago and will move next to the City Council for consideration. On code enforcement, staff reported ramping activity for the spring: teams recorded 79 investigative activities and opened 37 new cases, primarily parking and sign complaints.

No formal board action was taken on the planning items during the meeting.","Planning staff reported 43 building inspections and 47 permits over the past weeks, including three new single-family permits.

Kralik said CSX has agreed to reimburse 50% of the cost of a jack-and-bore under its right-of-way that will connect the field house area to a sanitary ditch on South 39. \"We finally got word back from CSX, and they have agreed to a 50% reimbursement on the cost of the jack and bore under their right of way,\" Kralik said.

Kralik also said Grand Street Phase 2 is preparing for construction. The city has an inspection contract in place, is completing constructability reviews with Crossroad Engineers, and is scheduled to let the project July 9. He told the board that the city received a funds allocation described in the meeting as a program for $306,306,720 for construction engineering; staff said they will request those funds closer to the letting.

On Witt Road, Kralik said the city received environmental approval and published the environmental documents at City Hall and the public library; the project now enters a public comment period before right-of-way acquisitions begin. He said the Big 4 Trailhead parking lot redo is tentatively scheduled to begin May 5, and that perimeter path work at Admiral Longley Park is slated to begin in April, subject to asphalt plant availability.

Kralik gave updates on neighborhood utility coordination, quoting and procurement challenges for Lido and Collier's Corner work, and ongoing utility relocation for the new interchange at State roads 52 and 65. He said work on Fordyce is advancing, with storm sewer installation largely complete and grading and paving beginning as underground work finishes.

The board asked and Kralik confirmed that the city is working with Lebanon Utilities on water main conflicts and with contractors to keep work moving despite higher-than-expected quote responses on some projects. He said the department will continue constructability reviews to prevent field issues and will return to the council when required for appropriations.","City engineering reported a series of project updates March 24: CSX agreed to reimburse 50% of a jack-and-bore underpass; Grand Street Phase 2 is set for a July 9 letting; an environmental review and public comment period opened for Witt Road.",{"_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},6107071,"Board approves expanded Memorial Park pickleball reconstruction after unsuitable soils raise costs",407,2441589,2848895,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2779040-af7c103e6ef5fa601813919389f9b267&start=2441&end=2848","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2779040-af7c103e6ef5fa601813919389f9b267/thumbnail_2441589.jpg","/articles/6107071/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Board-approves-expanded-Memorial-Park-pickleball-reconstruction-after-unsuitable-soils-raise-costs","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6107071-b49743aca683faac79124f01b89d2092/orig.mp4?Expires=1771173960&Signature=hHsH7zLiYYteLHKj-XAw8OLhsqwpfEX80iJRSdQ81sXOeCTyrAPvbx1fhVgZepnXBLskfWPo9z6WdqS1fh37hAzJAT5r-gIZo5aEB-Ol9lSRY7Jm1Mu~ZBcVJIw3LNF5ZPGgE~r0P5TIexEY-iU3TMijLn8t2ZdQB7TFnVbw9KnVce71ztQ15jZEt-EVeAKW-B1xS-dbMIRBA-xZU93zKY~5w7qOlPG3DzL~gO1bBv8ok49XWXHnuqzLEwL-QOdm0jqSWJtzY4VgbqAEV1dAgvvoPmEfLnXy1-rhZ1uXXotUP0i71ZMzXkEWp-C1C~XgMctaXjYj~VdoYCP-Jr9wxA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Lebanon Board of Works on March 24 approved a change order to expand and reconstruct the Memorial Park pickleball courts after contractors found unsuitable soils beneath the old courts.

City engineering staff told the board excavation uncovered poor base material under two courts; the contractor removed 18 additional inches of material, installed geogrid and replaced the base with number-53 stone. Engineering Director Kevin Kralik said the work and the court expansion raised the Memorial Park contract from roughly $263,250 to about $530,400. \"It's eaten up about all of our contingency, but there's no additional appropriation that's needed there for this,\" Kralik said.

The board was told the original Memorial Park contract was about $262,250 and that an expansion of the court area added $46,910. Kralik described the unsuitable soils remediation line item at roughly $220,240; together those changes produced the higher total. He said the contract change is a time-and-materials not-to-exceed order and that the city will monitor contingency use and return to council if additional appropriation becomes necessary.

Parks and Recreation Director John Messenger told the board the department expects the Memorial Park courts to be playable sooner than earlier estimates for coatings: once asphalt is placed, crews can begin coatings in about two weeks. Messenger and Kralik said the work on Memorial Park courts will be completed before work begins on Abner Longley so the city maintains playable courts during the season.

The board made and seconded the motion to approve the change order; the motion passed on a voice vote with all members present voting in the affirmative.

Kralik and other staff cautioned that the city will evaluate soil conditions at Abner Longley before moving forward there and, if unsuitable soils are found, will bring a funding request back to council.

The change order covers reconstruction, an expanded court layout with additional fencing between courts, and base remediation to address cracking and subgrade failure that staff said resulted from the old layered asphalt and poor soils.

No dollar amounts beyond those discussed in the meeting packet and at the podium were added by staff during discussion. The board approved the change order as presented.","Lebanon Board of Works approved a change order March 24 to expand and rebuild Memorial Park pickleball courts after crews found unsuitable soils. The contract value for the Memorial Park work was increased to about $530,400, funded within existing contingencies, the board was told.","actionData","errors"]
