O&M manuals: Staff presented two operations and maintenance manuals. The board recommended exceptions and approved the Greenwood Trace Section 1 O&M manual and accepted the Sage Bridal Section 10 O&M manual, authorizing the mayor to sign the Sage Bridal document.

Billing software: Staff said the city is evaluating a cloud‑based billing system that would combine stormwater and sanitation on a single monthly bill at a proposed $5 per month customer charge instead of quarterly billing at higher per‑billing rates; staff said the change will require about nine months to implement.

IDEM annual report: Staff noted that the board’s annual report to the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) was submitted and that preliminary feedback from IDEM was favorable.

Chris Jones, director of stormwater management, told board members he had visited the State House and shared language for an amendment. “What this bill would do is we couldn't say anything about it. Couldn't do anything,” Jones said, adding that the change would prevent the city from requiring silt fences, concrete washout controls and other erosion protections when homeowners dig pools or undertake other small‑scale excavation. Jones said he has provided amendment language and was working with a Democratic representative who might present it; he also said Republican members had been unresponsive.

Jones noted the board’s existing ability to regulate activities on waterways listed under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act (the state’s impaired waters list), which can preserve authority in some locations. He said staff is preparing talking points and will share them with board members.

Why it matters: limiting municipal oversight of sub‑acre land disturbance could affect erosion and water‑quality protections across neighborhoods and make post‑construction best management practices harder to enforce in sensitive watersheds.

Next steps: staff will circulate talking points and any proposed amendment language to board members to support outreach to state legislators.","Greenwood staff warned that state House Bill 1037 would limit municipal authority to regulate land-disturbing activities under one acre, potentially preventing oversight of backyard pool excavations and other small projects; staff said they have sought amendment language and will share talking points with board members.",{"_33":85,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":86,"_41":87,"_43":88,"_45":89,"_46":90,"_48":91,"_50":92,"_52":93,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":94,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":95,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6081693,"Board ratifies $7,700 contract amendment for tile repair work",4,22650,27060,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941640-a3838ed5272016933133729253888fc1&start=22&end=27","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941640-a3838ed5272016933133729253888fc1/thumbnail_22650.jpg","/articles/6081693/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Board-ratifies-7700-contract-amendment-for-tile-repair-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081693-21d5678058ee2fdb254b5eeaf75cf26e/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141809&Signature=VxxhXpUhooUTR5z~7zCBXba-O4kcbQHqbZvigHFi~IOAMOmhjDktoE6AapRmJ4umOI1Qg4pnY8HLlIhHTT8o4HIbrJ6RlrWV-vLYOXkK6bHIbkpFzYVVSgybqaPCipSNSov20VRYuvrWLhEs9LvVhpZcU7LdOgmGIjBIEnl3nFWjDKPcBnkpyfDqXyGSj9oLQytJYpXBeAgJ771cHzZGF8ME0kJWPh3Au7Di~eiLFLuP4A8f3vj5t~m0qPPoJRRCdZqeqrp9Jp-bObVuLx-4Wr2V3v4TMqRuAujZGY6RkWnxqK3hjJr8Pt31UOwAfYphf7TWbl6sEczqZqJXCj~R0w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Stormwater Board on April 9 ratified a $7,700 amendment to a tile repair contract with Nasty Construction to cover extra work discovered during the project.

Staff said the original contract had a threshold that led to unforeseen additional work once crews started exploratory repairs in older infrastructure. “We found an extra tile from there,” a staff member said, describing the kind of exploratory discoveries that can increase scope. Staff asked the board to ratify the contract amendment to cover the additional cost, and the board approved the amendment by voice vote.

Why it matters: the amendment pays for unanticipated extras that arose during repair work on aging infrastructure; the board’s ratification ensures the contractor is paid for work already performed and allows the project to be closed out.

Implementation: staff will process the contract amendment and update the contract file and budget records accordingly.","Greenwood Stormwater Board approved a $7,700 amendment to a tile repair contract with Nasty Construction to cover additional, unanticipated work.",{"_33":97,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":98,"_41":42,"_43":99,"_45":100,"_46":101,"_48":102,"_50":103,"_52":104,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":105,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":106,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6081698,"Board rejects single Stonegate bid, will re‑solicit pipe replacement work",33300,33860,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2941640-a3838ed5272016933133729253888fc1&start=33&end=33","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2941640-a3838ed5272016933133729253888fc1/thumbnail_33300.jpg","/articles/6081698/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Board-rejects-single-Stonegate-bid-will-resolicit-pipe-replacement-work","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6081698-59f3ef03d3e51b5e782356fc357a28f8/orig.mp4?Expires=1771141809&Signature=DjhQHeTVemlz21pkK5otbNKcV6ROqyT7LCW~BAgfg5fHmoU-rmk5VUi6VpvO80n51mZX-Nq-WP5s8M2clQhYDwnMhF2cpBIzz38kY43j6rE72rPVwbXGeAZ9pPzZEpU8LqLMJZuQ9vB24QiLKnnlhLbPnxLAWe7gA8LyktRBkpUCkhvCLDU~p~meBYN0iIOP7M3p1OqSMds8c1iyuFpQZku8O05cWRSCQskwQtP3NSFlZI5cxFLwtAFtDmzh5Y2muz~Ama8Wb-wXkVOAw~i5rQxu7HXE2KU4p0KeBKzo4vpOz7JKMoWYHDom1428o-PbAjM9SMTcWlIf-tqiPBWeOw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Stormwater Board voted April 9 to reject a single contractor quote for replacing a failing corrugated metal pipe in Stonegate Subdivision and to re‑advertise the work.

Staff said USI Engineers prepared design and an engineer’s estimate of $83,765 for the project. Chris Jones, director of stormwater management, said the lone bid received — from Warrior Excavating — totaled $136,900. Jones said the primary difference was the pipe cost: the engineer estimated $42,000 for the pipe while the contractor listed about $109,000 for pipe materials.

Jones asked the board to reject the quote and authorize staff to solicit additional bids. A motion to reject the single quote and re‑advertise was made, seconded and approved by voice vote.

Why it matters: the pipe is corrugated metal and failing, producing sinkholes in the area; board members said replacement in kind with reinforced concrete pipe (RCP) is planned, but the bid prices were well above the engineer’s estimate.

Next steps: staff will formally reject the single quote and advertise the project again, seeking additional competitive bids and returning with an updated recommendation.","An engineer's estimate for a failing corrugated metal pipe in Stonegate Subdivision was $83,765; the sole contractor bid was $136,900.

Chris Jones, director of stormwater management, told the board staff had received the application and forwarded it to members for review. “They have a 3 ponds, and they're actually having trouble with their pond, West End Pond,” Jones said, describing algae growth and poor water turnover at the Lehi Pond near Emerson Avenue and Pushville Road. He said the HOA requested 100 percent funding and that staff scored the application 6.5 on the board’s scoring criteria. Jones said staff’s recommendation was that “this project meets the criteria of the public private partnership and encourage the support of the project in an amount approved by the stormwater board with the condition of updating the recorded O and M.”

Board members questioned aspects of the application and discussed the absence of an HOA representative to explain the project and the requested funding share. One board member moved to carry the item to the board’s next meeting and ask that a Heritage Trace representative attend; a second was made and the motion passed. The board did not vote on funding or conditions at the April meeting.

Why it matters: the requested work involves electrical/aeration systems that help keep pond water circulating; the board’s decision to require an in‑person representative aims to clarify funding, maintenance commitments and how this qualifies under the public‑private partnership criteria.

Board direction: staff will place the Heritage Trace application on the next meeting agenda and ask the HOA to send a representative to answer questions about the scope, funding and maintenance commitments.

No formal appropriation or contract was approved at the April 9 meeting.","The Greenwood Stormwater Board reviewed a public-private partnership application from Heritage Trace HOA seeking $13,876 to repair aeration/electrical systems at subdivision ponds and voted to defer the item so an HOA representative can attend the next meeting.","actionData","errors"]
