Chief Miller told the board that after the county converted to 800 MHz radios in 2023, a quantity of older radios and chargers became unusable for department operations and are stored in a tote. He said the department has an offer from a Colorado company that specializes in radio equipment, and the proposed sale would yield $4,000 for the city.

A board member offered a motion to approve the surplus equipment request; the motion passed on a roll-call vote with Levi Jones, Jacob Palmaso and Chris Martin voting yes. Chief Miller said the sale proceeds would be returned to department funds and that staff can read the surplus list into the record if the board wants a full inventory.

The board did not require additional conditions. Staff will proceed with the sale and related surplus disposition procedures.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works and Safety","oneSentenceSummary","The board approved the Fire Department's request to surplus obsolete 800 MHz radios and sell the equipment to a Colorado company for $4,000, with staff noting the radios are unusable following the county's 800 MHz conversion.","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},6243981,"Board approves multiple property cleanups, imposes fines; one cleanup vote fails",503,967000,1470000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3236480-72753fd6806547a811ea034e8800ce47&start=967&end=1470","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3236480-72753fd6806547a811ea034e8800ce47/thumbnail_967000.jpg","/articles/6243981/Indiana/Board-approves-multiple-property-cleanups-imposes-fines-one-cleanup-vote-fails","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6243981-c07e1649d7dfa1a278c09c7e94db73e5/orig.mp4?Expires=1771111456&Signature=jDbmzieuFC~H0WC5tknBboCH-XBcAtKet2sFyulb1QHjRsF9nf1MhGlD~Ta1WXgPDsEzgW~7c8C6PU1F1gy5P3SYCcCsbOd9gQtdtXibi5EVuOLh9nkNJI0lHJw7xba2rdj4J0Obumh2RVKjLx0Vovt29d161xc7j-AJuaIx9BMnWQlx4oCYhtHbH2pcLlrf~59zM0NEDkxzyugYSOcUGA-10rZwvhKXGzI8tPPgjFbhrTZQP7eE8WH4P0N0~YWFLEmSPzINr6FZrOoaZrj5dN3So6Dw95soWWl2j~ef-euCH4bDtCxB1cUHlmyaW3t1ypJS-q7SRO6DBhOVgse7mQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Public Works and Safety on May 7 reviewed Code Enforcement reports and issued cleanup orders for multiple properties across the city, attaching fines in at least one case and rejecting staff’s recommended action on another.

Randy, the city code enforcement officer, presented a list of properties with trash, building materials or other violations. The board approved property-cleanup orders for several parcels including 516 Dezardi Street, 231 East Miami Avenue (a $250 fine was attached), 1408 North Street, 1500 North Street, 316–318 Grove Street, 420 Eighteenth Street and 70 Eighteenth Street. Each approval was recorded by roll-call votes.

On 231 East Miami Avenue the board attached a $250 fine and approved the cleanup motion. Randy said that for repeat or multiple violations the city has a stepped fine structure; he said the initial fine for a repeat violation is $250, and subsequent violations in a 12‑month period can range from $500 up to $1,000. He also said properties that qualify as multiple violations may incur an automatic $100 administrative fee.

The board handled 1821 Smead Street differently. Staff reported the property had repeated building-material violations and earlier had lacked a building permit. At the May 7 hearing the owner said the materials had been cleaned up but staff noted a history of recurring issues. When the board voted on the recommended cleanup action for 1821 Smead Street, all three board members voted no; that motion therefore failed.

For several properties, staff said cleanup work has been completed or is in progress. Where owners did not appear, the board authorized cleanup to proceed through city action and placed fines or administrative charges as described in the motions. Randy said property owners who receive fines may remit payment through the treasurer’s office.","Logansport’s code enforcement updates resulted in board orders to clean multiple properties and assessed a $250 fine for one parcel; a cleanup motion for 1821 Smead Street failed after the board voted no on the staff recommendation.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6243983,"City approves appraisal services for Eastgate property; costs and reimbursement discussed",88,378000,466000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3236480-72753fd6806547a811ea034e8800ce47&start=378&end=466","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3236480-72753fd6806547a811ea034e8800ce47/thumbnail_378000.jpg","/articles/6243983/Indiana/City-approves-appraisal-services-for-Eastgate-property-costs-and-reimbursement-discussed","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6243983-939b47b36a147856d0f74cdb3222b3c6/orig.mp4?Expires=1771111456&Signature=mtmcXvQPkFaUKkRWkwibRH9VAJnPbigyJieY~83f5HyxdRLemjmRo-8rdLxtYpRFSf7vZK99Z8pylmqc5HGdYAOycjpSo7c3hl7JfvdyN~AmsNHum0hozNAjYeIiwDo62PPY~lLur4N7In8vAB-vZT2RYccxV7I2cPZfXdt~aXg5e0SU5QpOl2IBagh10mK3uVeX0wOEjr18F-DQqMNioJg7UzUShYpmAoBgPEParaRRkd1BvfZEfcf9T6blo-o5WpQykPfIstmsKYWrJUm71UM4TVn8iuOV3usV-UqdkDyrGRHGeK3-qcqpVnFQJue5KAsj51jbfahNDBGqsi~erg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Public Works and Safety on May 7 approved two appraisal agreements related to the Eastgate property, which staff said the city transferred to the Redevelopment Commission to begin redevelopment steps.

Aaron (Metzger Property Services) presented appraisal work not to exceed $800. Staff also presented a separate agreement with The Appraisal Shop for a not-to-exceed fee of $2,500. City staff said both appraisals use the same source materials and that the city has the funds in its budget but expects to seek reimbursement from the redevelopment commission.

Aaron told the board the higher fee from The Appraisal Shop reflected the scope of that vendor’s work; staff could not explain a disparity in fees beyond differences in each vendor’s process. The board approved both agreements by roll-call votes.

A board member thanked the presenter and staff for moving the appraisal work forward. Staff said advancing appraisals will allow the redevelopment commission to proceed with subdivision and potential redevelopment planning for the Eastgate parcel, which is located near Speedway.

The agreements were approved as presented. Staff said they will proceed with both appraisals and follow up with the redevelopment commission regarding reimbursement.","The board approved appraisal contracts for the Eastgate parcel (recently transferred to the redevelopment commission), agreeing to contracts with Metzger Property Services (not to exceed $800) and The Appraisal Shop (not to exceed $2,500).

Rob from Community Development told the board the property had been condemned and approved for demolition previously, but the parcel has changed hands and the new owner says he needs more time to make repairs. Rob recommended tabling the item for at least one week so the owner could notify the board and speak for his property.

Board members agreed and voted to table the demolition request. The motion to table carried on a roll-call vote with Jacob Palmaso, Levi Jones and Chris Martin voting yes.

Rob said the new owner had purchased the property at a tax sale and informed staff he may have underestimated the work required. The board did not set conditions beyond the one-week tabling; staff will notify the owner of the May 14 appearance date.

No contractor was selected and no demolition was scheduled at the May 7 meeting. The board’s action leaves the property under the existing condemnation status while giving the owner an opportunity to present plans for repair or remediation at the next meeting.","The board voted to table a demolition request for a condemned property at 417 Thirteenth Street until May 14 to give the new owner time to present his plan for repairs.",{"_33":113,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":114,"_41":115,"_43":116,"_45":117,"_47":118,"_49":119,"_51":120,"_53":121,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":122,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":123,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6243985,"Board awards Community Crossings contract to Central Paving; Spencer Park repave included",87,178000,265000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3236480-72753fd6806547a811ea034e8800ce47&start=178&end=265","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3236480-72753fd6806547a811ea034e8800ce47/thumbnail_178000.jpg","/articles/6243985/Indiana/Board-awards-Community-Crossings-contract-to-Central-Paving-Spencer-Park-repave-included","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6243985-60a12f104a9f6ba11a5cd2b96147c7ae/orig.mp4?Expires=1771111456&Signature=GMaX-jq7zMMWm2As2aaxrkW-aOV4S8bqq-iDNivzTRZLnDt7KX5SC2wWxZyFA8qWY2iv7EDycviMYiW0pxHQ9yx2M8ELdGc3yLN8i-kJPvcyAjC3MR-mixw106CCzOfR~p5dX7GJmsK-RSDKJR9n6T2BiNUSWVjO1G-eC7xMXN3jCnZdXhdUrqoYymPiXPseQVDSCJ91n-qWPWbtxXxoDlSR~kDQ9Np8B4akQwjJ2qUf61OTe2is8gjlI~rPBmtCb254DJCiKE3CJoV4plSErXc7Bb3wji3g22YFdDKtJ4Q3eQnNlx8djwQiVOlTP8uj3CGxxdB9SO2JYr~kIOtZvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety on May 7 awarded the Community Crossings bid to Central Paving and approved a contract that city staff said was about $50,000 under the project budget.

City staff said the council had already approved the funding and that construction can begin. The contract award and contract approval were taken in separate agenda steps; both motions passed on voice votes from the three board members present.

Ross, a city staff member who presented the item, told the board they needed to accept the bid before awarding the contract. He said the single bid received from Central Paving met the requirements. Board members then approved the award and the related contract.

Board members said the contract includes work at Spencer Park. During the meeting a staff member reported the Spencer Park repaving portion of the contract is $240,000, and that figure includes striping and concrete pads or curb stops.

The board recorded the vote by roll call: Jacob Palmaso, Chris Martin and Levi Jones voted yes on the award and again on the contract approval. Meeting minutes show the city’s council previously approved the funding for the project.

City staff said the bid arrived under budget and expressed enthusiasm to begin work. The board did not add conditions to the award; the contract was approved as presented.

The city did not provide a start date during the meeting. Staff said additional scheduling details and the construction timeline will be coordinated with Central Paving and announced later.","Logansport’s Board of Public Works and Safety voted to award the Community Crossings bid to Central Paving, approving a contract that the city said came in about $50,000 under budget and includes repaving work at Spencer Park estimated at $240,000.","actionData","errors"]
