Resident Rosa Almagay appeared at the board meeting and described constraints that have affected her ability to keep the property tidy. “I'm a single mom. I work I have 3 kids,” Almagay said, explaining limited time and difficulty coordinating pickups and cleanups. Code enforcement staff described a history of contacts and a pending fine related to mattress removal and other property maintenance issues. Randy, the city's code enforcement officer, said staff and the board have tried outreach and that, after repeated noncontact, fines and ordered cleanups are the city's enforcement tools.

Randy told the board the city staff had previously collected mattresses and that on similar cases a city cleanup would cost roughly $325–$400 for mattress pickup and more if a truck and dump fees were required. Randy said the city had tiered fines and noted the board’s authority to escalate penalties; he told Almagay, “if you wouldn't have shown up today, I probably would have placed a $5,000 fine on the property.”

Board members said communication with code enforcement going forward would be the key condition. The board's motion to waive the $1,000 fine included the explicit condition that no additional violations occur within 12 months; if violations recur in that period, the $1,000 fine would be reinstated and could be increased. The motion passed with recorded affirmative votes from Mayor Chris Martin and Board member Levi Jones.

The board and staff also noted assistance options: city crews can perform targeted cleanups at a lower cost than a tiered fine would impose, and staff can help arrange dumpsters, pickup dates and provide information on scheduled collection. The board asked Almagay to maintain contact with code enforcement so staff can coordinate any needed help to bring the property into ongoing compliance.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works and Safety","oneSentenceSummary","Following a public hearing on June 11, the Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety waived a $1,000 fine issued to the owner of 1918 George Street; the waiver is conditional on no further violations within 12 months, and board members and code enforcement emphasized communication and offered city assistance to complete cleanup.","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},6200766,"Board approves Steinberger staging at Iron Horse Park if no alternatives found in 10 days",124,197000,321000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3806331-cc4d5f709644562512c4e5e65bda3db3&start=197&end=321","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3806331-cc4d5f709644562512c4e5e65bda3db3/thumbnail_197000.jpg","/articles/6200766/Indiana/Board-approves-Steinberger-staging-at-Iron-Horse-Park-if-no-alternatives-found-in-10-days","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6200766-dac6779c21d278284f091691fef7ff26/orig.mp4?Expires=1770448413&Signature=WQBMFHpTiYriYflD0qTWKJXBfWmHSsY~wSsSk1NhBjSckQnMH7v-yzAq1VdgI7zGOgQvfQHtPcGAuRTuc2DoCBI1atETy-zaCTbWWWCtfLY9dVhZtUsz5tqmETKIJrVYyJxfPt4OrWU3XP7~2P5AVV48UfA-tLpP~8Pwsd5zaoHaHTaHrPS4mXoeSZOyVxZT5QhmUPcs20nz-H284Cmq4z8sQzpxi98HDg0JISSpFDP7i7O37JehEWhGMONgB39n5mQWvPiZwNAvjnrjrdisNwDu0rcf-Pvjv6Qy4dEyR23~9FwNcFf9r6R~DSEFGUfd29sGTa-yq1GizlKU2CVAOg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","On June 11, 2025, the Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety approved staging by Steinberger Construction at Iron Horse Park for the Farmers Market contingent on a short staff review and with a 10‑day automatic approval clause if no alternatives were found.

The board voted to add the item to the agenda and then approved a motion that, as Mayor Chris Martin put it, “Approval contingent on appraisal from Aaron and Shaver with alt or approval from Aaron and Jan with alternatives. If no alternatives found after 10 days, automatic approval is given for the staging of construction for the Farmer's Market to Steinberger, and they will be responsible for any damages occurred during the staging.” The motion passed with recorded affirmative votes from Mayor Chris Martin and Board member Levi Jones.

Why it matters: the approved staging will allow Steinberger Construction to place equipment and materials in a park parking area used for the Farmers Market; the board attached both a short administrative review and a financial responsibility clause so that the city would not absorb repair costs if the paved area is damaged. Board members and staff discussed timing: the 10‑day review period begins on June 11, and staff said that, if no alternatives are identified by the end of that period, staging could begin the Monday after June 20.

Board instructions and conditions were explicit. The approval requires either an alternative location or sign‑off from two staff members (identified in the meeting as Aaron and Jan); if neither provides an alternative within 10 days the staging authorization takes effect automatically. The board also stated that Steinberger Construction must be responsible for repairing any damage to the parking lot caused by staging activity.

The board voted twice on related procedural steps: first to add the Steinberger staging item to the agenda and then on the substantive motion to approve staging under the stated conditions. Both votes recorded “Yes” from Mayor Chris Martin and Board member Levi Jones; other members were absent for parts of the discussion or not recorded on the vote roll call.

Next steps: staff (Aaron and Jan) will complete their review and either propose alternatives or sign off; absent an alternative within 10 days of the June 11 meeting, the staging authorization becomes effective and Steinberger Construction may begin staging per the board’s timeline and the damage‑responsibility requirement.","The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety on June 11 approved Steinberger Construction to stage equipment at Iron Horse Park for the Farmers Market, contingent on staff review and an automatic approval if no alternatives are identified within 10 days; the company will be responsible for any damages incurred during staging.","actionData","errors"]
