The chief said the department recorded 874 calls for service, 81 arrests, 60 citations, 80 warnings and 206 traffic stops during April. The chief also reported the criminal-investigations unit had 17 cases assigned, 12 closed and five active; the drug task force investigated 14 cases and made seven arrests, including cases involving methamphetamine.

Other units reported vehicle enforcement activity and animal-control responses. The chief said the department logged 28,181 miles for the month, nine towed vehicles, one towed car due to enforcement, five traffic-accident investigations during one reporting span and 37 animal-control calls (18 animals taken to the shelter; three bite cases). The board voted to approve the monthly police report.

Board members thanked the chief for the report but did not ask for additional analysis during the public meeting. The report will be filed with the city records and is available to the public on request.","Logansport police reported April activity including 874 calls for service, 81 arrests, 206 traffic stops and animal-control statistics; the Court approved the monthly report.",{"_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},6240862,"Court approves $800 contract addition to clear 916 Ray Street site bought by RDC",66,454000,520000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23&start=454&end=520","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23/thumbnail_454000.jpg","/articles/6240862/Indiana/Court-approves-800-contract-addition-to-clear-916-Ray-Street-site-bought-by-RDC","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6240862-a44e7bda4350a68d7b68e1ba51304458/orig.mp4?Expires=1775615294&Signature=dfPVU5orZ6~IEjAhuWobi9tJPwkYDEtT0GJ4Fr4nnflgcWfiAF4TFhiBUqBTnSLLmMy1ZcioAP-fQddMPUNfgRSoEL3ygy25RRjrKl75LYwM0AeT91M5tF6LDJLcegRmhu8hpqdYtHRd8-JzaZKC0KzeHlfqkOJx4J61-Sb7HJ1QDwL5Sov7WowHXJ3bdNA6hTdkZz~DyL~bsnp2z2yZ6QdQiG9vZK41i2CjtS~kHIgguaTPiD3q~nQFXYNUnJau5AWJJYlOR8zlnsKYtKSsnH86d6Rtv8L6VSkt-6A03~VMUIcwagnqf1kazvUe4TIXi4V2WmIB2QVOIKHgpMfPJA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport Court of Public Works and Safety approved an $800 contract amendment for Baker Excavating to perform additional clearing at 916 Ray Street, a parcel the city’s Redevelopment Commission purchased and for which demolition work had already been performed.

A representative said the house on 916 Ray Street had been demolished, the site leveled and staff requested additional tree and brush removal to fully clear the lot for future development. “We contracted with Baker Excavating... The house has been taken down, removed, site leveled. When he was down there, we had asked him to also clear out trees and bushes and get the whole site cleared out, for what hopefully will be a new hotel,” the RDC representative said.

The board approved the additional $800 payment to Baker Excavating to complete the clearing work. Staff said the lot is now prepared for future development steps; no contract for a specific hotel redevelopment was presented in the meeting and no binding commitment to a developer was recorded.

The board directed staff to process the contract amendment and to proceed with billing and payment as part of the RDC project ledger.","The Court approved an $800 additional payment to Baker Excavating to clear trees and bushes at 916 Ray Street after demolition; the site was purchased by the RDC and staff said the cleared lot is intended for a potential new hotel.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6240867,"Court approves alley closure, Farmers Market street closure and curb-cut permits for utilities",137,668000,805000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23&start=668&end=805","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23/thumbnail_668000.jpg","/articles/6240867/Indiana/Court-approves-alley-closure-Farmers-Market-street-closure-and-curb-cut-permits-for-utilities","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6240867-fb20237a88766b42422e55b8fa498425/orig.mp4?Expires=1775615294&Signature=mLLOEnChh~bWgOYtFi0pYcFvYo7DLRbZ6Ew1YARUuWiVZe1gJuEkWOXaZ~OMJQfbFlIOIO7uAK1LKuNlczLXyqGqTsGAYwAkUXAIBn~7PxUdPtIP2vCFX4qDdzrmA~RbO7VC2nA9kUDBQuXS2rsU7T-G3TkjzDO94Nx6nYwYSs2KZWzh~kb01ywPS320W1aFr4xTczvtwk2zpaFifReYeH4DIqVyaO-Tn4hGGXqTg-Ty5yDt00WFRO86-fRUZ~keupolNO~WbfZ4SXfjs19rYIT2Vo8kQjGoGUO-sXAU29SYMY2pDgfXr-naS83gV8k9gQNjfs-E0X8CEOpMgrrUOA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport Court of Public Works and Safety approved a permanent closure of a narrow alley beside Hometown Health Solutions (the alley will be secured with removable bollards to allow future utility access) and granted a temporary closure of Fourth Street from Market to Melbourne Avenue to allow a waterline connection for the Farmers Market.

Chad of the street department summarized the alley request, saying Steinberger requested permanent closure and staff discussed installing bollards that could be removed for utility access. A motion to approve the alley closure passed without recorded objection.

Chad also presented the Farmers Market water connection request; the board approved closing Fourth Street from Market to Melbourne Avenue for the waterline work. A board member noted the closure spans the stretch “from Market to the Little Turtle archway,” and members approved the request with no substantive public objections recorded.

The board approved curb/street-cut applications for Nipsco at 112 North Yorktown Road, where staff said a bore under the street will avoid a surface cut, and for StarTac/StarTech fiber at 915 East Main Street (a series of horizontal bores under Main Street plus a short parallel run to connect service). Staff explained the StarTech work will bore under Main Street and run approximately 20 feet parallel to the bore to provide new Internet service. Both permits were approved.

Staff said the permitted Nipsco work will install a gas service with no aboveground street disruption expected because the company will bore under the roadway. For the Farmers Market waterline, staff did not provide a construction calendar at the meeting; the board approved the closure request and directed staff to coordinate detours and notices.

Board members voted individually on these items; there were no recorded objections during the approvals.","The court approved a permanent alley closure adjacent to Hometown Health Solutions with removable bollards, authorized a temporary Fourth Street closure for a Farmers Market water connection, and approved permits for utility work including Nipsco and a fiber installation on Main Street.",{"_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},6240873,"Logansport approves multi-contract AV, CCTV and Wi‑Fi package for clubhouse; financed over five years",225,264000,489000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23&start=264&end=489","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23/thumbnail_264000.jpg","/articles/6240873/Indiana/Logansport-approves-multi-contract-AV-CCTV-and-WiFi-package-for-clubhouse-financed-over-five-years","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6240873-25580d8237cf29bff3c6cb9eec18f2ea/orig.mp4?Expires=1775615294&Signature=QnZ-cEKg04pMdEidbX7~Um5Fo05yEWs25cdJYvSeZIm2Twi5Z~1K1q2o8LI94AGNYDIeHg3NujJ79ceqI320N3VGCBWEMHwY6lUK0pA3TvpptoLx0YYisQOecn0NsBmcveLbAR0fHbnTKwdFRID8ab6ABEEBa0q6leR4QggOPWL9a-2O~4L9njNFLyUq0ibqv48hTWfzGv6fWbPA1r5cQH5FDXKvaHbuBS3NOQJTt3BZRhFrYAuLe88kvmDCVCnxXvZnhpOGRqcWVVB4X2k1rs61o4Zz~jKCsGeEuhF4P-PKe-Gy5Lk5mST-M~YQYouz5A48YXtKwZQhftBTyz-tng__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport Court of Public Works and Safety voted to approve four separate contracts with Innovative Concepts Audio & Video Inc. to install a clubhouse CCTV security system, digital signage, an interior/exterior audio system and a clubhouse network/Wi‑Fi system.

A staff presenter described the package as four distinct contracts covering security cameras, digital signs with rotating content, custom audio for different rooms and a network/Wi‑Fi installation that will also support maintenance operations. The presenter said the project is part of a loan agreement the city arranged with Security Federal Bank and that the city will amortize the work over five years. “We\u0000'll be paying for this over the next 5 years. I think approximately 35,000 a year,” the presenter said.

Board members voted on each contract individually and approved them. The board recorded no substantial objections during the discussion; members asked for the contracts to be considered and called the question on each element (CCTV, digital signage, audio system, and network/Wi‑Fi).

Officials noted the network/Wi‑Fi installation will allow maintenance connectivity at the clubhouse and may replace an existing cellular arrangement used at another city facility. The contracts were described as part of a larger clubhouse upgrade that also includes simulators and related room equipment included in the financing.

Because four related but separate contracts were approved, staff will execute each agreement and proceed with procurement and installation work under the loan schedule. The board did not discuss alternative funding sources during the public portion of the meeting.","The court approved four contracts with Innovative Concepts Audio & Video Inc. for CCTV, digital signage, clubhouse audio and network/Wi‑Fi; staff said the work will be paid over a five-year loan with an approximate annual payment of $35,000.",{"_33":125,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":126,"_41":127,"_43":128,"_45":129,"_47":130,"_49":131,"_51":132,"_53":133,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":134,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":135,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6240878,"Logansport orders, tables multiple property cleanups; fines and park proximity cited",1588,840000,2428000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23&start=840&end=2428","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3317754-074980e72c9c0ff27defb50d7b157b23/thumbnail_840000.jpg","/articles/6240878/Indiana/Logansport-orders-tables-multiple-property-cleanups-fines-and-park-proximity-cited","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6240878-aa30b4ad4417804c0ade0c6761d815b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1775615294&Signature=f0dRC0A8IefaAG~mb5L6kvk5E7Vhwd2GNchGZg3CyS7X4CZPjHpAC8tFo9NKWf4YvZIPWEmpsodSijTSjjPezrBja4MIWM-z-l9C2TlURadG8NqBFgADObqBj-t34KLL5yYIMc~vk-Pc~2aVzX6w~jU-TPBWm6tjOtvI0l8xSnZP67ifw4vUncfAqUE7024NIwL~qLQj2mdosAujw6VG1i1HHSFcopo-HklWgFu3DA9oOLhGDMtRmNy-QK2fZuVexmoZsQ3n9D2mF4oU~KrmkwiF6HVbHNYrnbZi-cnjMGD5IMAzTtaBRhKTvOog2DT7GjlTZvhAhFmfuK8Puj6qPg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport Court of Public Works and Safety approved cleanup orders for multiple properties, tabled some cases for follow-up hearings and reaffirmed enforcement procedures for repeat violations near Riverside Park.

City code enforcement officer Randy described multiple cases brought to the board and their current status, saying, “This is the second violation in a year or in a 12 month period of time. The property is cleaned up now” when explaining the case at 503 Mobley Street. He also noted several other properties where trash, building materials or appliances remained and follow-up was required.

The board voted to table the cleanup hearing for 503 Mobley Street to the May 21 meeting to give the property owner an opportunity to appear. The board also tabled cleanup hearings for 1406 High Street and for 225 West Linden Avenue (reissued and reset for June 4) to allow owners or representatives time to address outstanding items.

For 1410 High Street, code enforcement reported a history of prior violations and that the owner had cleaned most of the property but a vehicle remained. Randy said the property had “a multiple violation” status and explained how repeated problems near the park generate more complaints. He told the property representative that, because this was a multiple violation within 12 months, the outstanding administrative fine remained. The officer said the city would accept a single $100 fine in this case because the owner had come in and shown progress.

Other cases resulted in orders to clean up. The board approved cleanup actions for 607 West Broadway, 706 High Street, 1800 George Street (upholstered furniture on porch), and 1108 Michigan Avenue after code enforcement reported partial or full remediation but remaining items that needed removal.

Board members and staff emphasized practical next steps and communication. Randy and other staff advised owners to coordinate with code enforcement for dumpsters or other cleanup options and to call the office if repeated windblown debris or other short-term issues arise. Randy told one resident, “If you feel like something's getting away from you on the property, contact him,” referring to code enforcement coordination. The board noted that homes nearest Riverside Park draw repeated complaints and urged more frequent checks in those areas.

The board repeatedly differentiated discussion from formal action: several properties were tabled for future hearings (no enforcement action yet), while others received formal cleanup orders. Members said further enforcement (including higher fines or contractor cleanup with lien) remained an available next step if owners did not comply.

The board closed the code-enforcement portion of the agenda after the scheduled hearings and directed staff to monitor progress before the next meeting.","The Logansport Court of Public Works and Safety approved several property cleanups, tabled others for follow-up, and reiterated enforcement steps for repeat violations near Riverside Park.","actionData","errors"]
