Brandy, the code-enforcement staff member, told the board that last week the department issued 43 new notices, cleared 44 cases, has 33 properties pending and sent 15 citations. She said one cleanup was completed and two more cleanups had been ordered.

Several individual properties were placed on an active cleanup schedule after short presentations by enforcement staff and, in one case, by a person working with the property owner. For 922 E. 18th Street, staff said much debris had been loaded onto a trailer but large items remained and the property was not yet in compliance. Randy, representing enforcement on the item, asked the board to let staff schedule the cleanup and said he would like two more weeks for the owner to finish removing material before the city acts. The board approved an order for cleanup and staff confirmed they will schedule the work and give the owner the requested period.

Other ordered cleanups that passed unanimously were for 1826 Mead Street (furniture and debris that staff said could have been removed via free pickup but remained), 531 17th Street (mattresses removed but trash/debris remains; owner has multiple properties under enforcement) and 1422 North Street (mattresses and loose trash; staff reported partial cleanup but said the condition was not resolved).

The board voted to accept the weekly code report and to authorize staff to proceed with cleanups as described; members recorded unanimous yes votes. Board members asked staff to coordinate scheduling and to notify property owners ahead of cleanup work.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works And Safety","oneSentenceSummary","Following a weekly code-enforcement report, the board approved cleanup orders for four properties and directed staff to schedule work; enforcement staff asked for one additional two‑week period for the owner of 922 E. 18th Street to finish removing material before the city proceeds.","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},6103166,"Board approves DNR cost-share for Houston Park field; staff says project will be multi‑year and reimbursed",122,205000,327000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2801862-7c14078f4fcd70a39b362e70fce6fc71&start=205&end=327","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2801862-7c14078f4fcd70a39b362e70fce6fc71/thumbnail_205000.jpg","/articles/6103166/Indiana/Board-approves-DNR-cost-share-for-Houston-Park-field-staff-says-project-will-be-multiyear-and-reimbursed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6103166-23d11c625ad0c0d862024948cd6f5ce6/orig.mp4?Expires=1770805657&Signature=YMA3pMzRBop8YFMxVOJaII59tL2IQUxk4zbL9Eh9OSyiLYBtdj9LbOW-JlGrwsxYNT7rEMOfYRNv6AXkVApcq9xs4RfougTCkwpba5M2eKmkm4rZlAEZMCeefWRmx7U1vJBCpzI7t7QoEzZkWuYayeoBKRYNodn62TZZOiZjrm36OrwQY658cfQ0FjWxMwb18IkJiIfiDv85cU7SgG10eu360ncOOvODpVKubVc4xjzad9wfwYW6zrFRsgpZEFbB0UxhrNwmVtnFhWcU1GO~0QTQU13HaC3-3UVDMBpKTOKHYbRxDaHirLQibQimp3tsjZ3Xn5cUQkbHv5jsm3V06A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety on March 26 approved a Department of Natural Resources cost-share agreement to treat and reseed the field at Houston Park, a multi‑year project staff said will begin this year with herbicide work.

Jan, a city staff member presenting the item, told the board that the state agency offered to help pay for herbicide application and seeding. Jan said the city will front the cost from its beautification account and then seek reimbursement through the cost-share arrangement. “So maybe not. Anyway, so, it is something we pay for upfront and then, they they reimburse us,” Jan said during the meeting. Jan said staff hope to involve Fish and Wildlife, which would be a federal partner, but clarified that federal participation was not certain.

Jan described current plans as limited to herbicide this year so the site is cleared before seeding: “But actually this year all we're doing is the herbicide. We have to be sure everything all the stuff is killed off before we plant seed.” The reimbursement figure mentioned in discussion was $300 per acre; Jan said there are about 10 acres involved.

Board members voted unanimously to approve the agreement. Mayor Chris Martin called the roll; Jacob Palmasoff and Levi Jones recorded yes votes. The board did not adopt additional conditions during the meeting.

The transcript and staff remarks indicate the project will proceed in phases and that reimbursement, not an up‑front grant, is the expected funding method. The item did not include a final contract amount in the meeting record; Jan and staff indicated the city will use existing beautification funds for initial payments and return reimbursements to that account when received.","The board approved a Department of Natural Resources cost-share agreement to treat and reseed a field at Houston Park.

The board voted unanimously to approve claims totaling $439,117.22, which included payroll of $292,264.20, a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) claim of $22,500 and a TIF discretionary claim of $2,928.60. Mayor Chris Martin called for the vote; Jacob Palmasoff and Levi Jones voted yes.

Board members approved several professional services agreements and vendor contracts brought by staff. Those included a translation-services agreement for Opinson/Obenson Gene Giles, an annual landscaping contract with Craig Renneman Landscaping Services for downtown tree care, and an outside-maintenance agreement with Early Lawn Care to service the police department grounds. The board also approved a Department of Natural Resources cost-share agreement for work at the field in Houston Park; that item was discussed separately during the meeting.

City staff reported and the board approved multiple street-related requests: a street-closure request for Heartland Tree Service to complete boulevard tree work, a closure and curb/street-cut applications for QC Communications to run communications lines, plus approved curb/street-cut permits for Berry Communications (4201 High Street), Perrin Fultz (200 S. on North Park), Case Construction (alley behind 1416 Liberty Street), and Peterman Brothers (121 Lehi Linden).

Community Development brought a demolition request for 417 13th Street (condemned July 2022, recorded February 2023). The board approved demolition authority and set a 45-day period during which the current owner may submit a plan or estimate to complete removal; if the owner does not act the city will solicit bids to perform the demolition.

The board also approved the schedule of charitable roadblocks for 2025. Staff listed dates for nonprofit organizations including Habitat for Humanity (April 18–19), Logansport Girls Softball (April 25–26), Civic Players of Logansport (May 9–10), Cass County Humane Society (May 16–17), and other groups through September; roadblocks are set at Fourth and Broadway, weekdays 11 a.m.–3 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m.–1 p.m.

Code enforcement staff presented weekly data and the board approved several property-cleanup orders (see separate coverage on code enforcement). The board accepted the resignation of Officer Quinn McGovern from the police department, effective close of business March 27, 2025, and proclaimed April 2025 as Habitat for Humanity Month in Logansport.
