Staff said the restriction will be implemented by placing bollards or concrete planters on each end to prevent vehicles from driving down the alley.

Officials said the alley is narrow, and with the theater’s opening they expect increased foot traffic around the site. Staff described adding catenary lighting across the alley, placing bollards at the ends and near a step at the north end that staff described as a safety hazard. They clarified the east‑west alley behind the block will remain open to vehicular traffic; only the short alley directly beside the theater will be restricted to pedestrians.

Board members moved and seconded a motion to restrict the alley; the motion carried on a voice vote. Staff said the lighting will be reinstalled after construction and emergency exits from the theater will still open onto the alley for safety.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","June 23, 2025 - Board of Works and Common Council Meetings - Martinsville, IN","oneSentenceSummary","The Martinsville Board of Works and Safety approved closing vehicle access to the alley adjacent to the Civic Theater, to be accomplished with bollards or large planters; staff said east‑west alley access behind the theater will remain open.","taxTitle","Martinsville City, Morgan County, Indiana","taxId",63770,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188917,"Board approves ProActive MD contract; city to pay $30,000 more annually, staff says savings likely later",90,383320,473620,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5061325-0a5409e3dd255d012e736aac1c6aee1d&start=383&end=473","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5061325-0a5409e3dd255d012e736aac1c6aee1d/thumbnail_383320.jpg","/articles/6188917/Martinsville-City/Morgan-County/Indiana/Board-approves-ProActive-MD-contract-city-to-pay-30000-more-annually-staff-says-savings-likely-later","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188917-61496669f57e82a6f637e1c4c05b5648/orig.mp4?Expires=1775094115&Signature=NfKwN6r4zuPcdQzHPqAcesnQGqXRqnGUa6Rdqz-YOq-vliFTQeh0lDW~O9bGxJIfNknANsd4t3CsecFxTqHwcJIaWVonZLIueSBRV7X8V4j8FZRJzBluAmADIcNxFxrYgzTpIX5AfKVk7O771zTjHlGufvOXI8aS8snWipBt~jzyFHvHFRWrcTp14bi~VpX~xByUNqpu9J6IxMBsLX1m558DfEXzv9Hw1ifKDUnQyha3E6pK6xaymbneA40ehFrF1ETHwNYH~X-84NDfC7MzLuwU9KFdGaYxF-Dn6-UXRdfUoQ7GjcV~flhaYBPj-8ELept4REC2wHrBohOvf-qRLg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Martinsville Board of Works and Safety voted June 23 to approve an agreement with ProActive MD for occupational and employee health services. Staff said ProActive MD was selected through a joint bid process with the county and school system and that the city and county will partner on the contract; the school system is not participating in the new contract.

City staff told the board the agreement increases the city’s annual cost by about $30,000 compared with the prior arrangement with Marathon Health, but added the change will allow the city to route pre‑employment screenings, workers’ compensation and injury reporting through ProActive MD and that those operational changes are expected to produce annual savings in the $20,000–$25,000 range.

Board members asked whether the additional cost was budgeted; staff replied the cost fits within the current budget and that the city expects net savings. The board approved the contract by motion and voice vote.

Staff said the change consolidates additional services under the new vendor, which the city views as better value overall despite the initial higher annual cost.","The Martinsville Board approved an agreement with ProActive MD to provide health services previously contracted through Marathon Health; staff said the new contract will cost the city about $30,000 more per year initially but could produce net savings of $20,000–$25,000 annually once additional services are routed through the provider.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":91,"_47":92,"_49":93,"_51":94,"_53":95,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":96,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":97,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188921,"Board authorizes use of 2021 RDC bond and RDC cash to buy civic center building",0,3060000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5061325-0a5409e3dd255d012e736aac1c6aee1d&start=3060&end=3060","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5061325-0a5409e3dd255d012e736aac1c6aee1d/thumbnail_3060000.jpg","/articles/6188921/Martinsville-City/Morgan-County/Indiana/Board-authorizes-use-of-2021-RDC-bond-and-RDC-cash-to-buy-civic-center-building","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6188921-f933a2627a49635ea365f10218c9f082/orig.mp4?Expires=1775094115&Signature=JQPPRHVngc6WMOVtmdckiNb-w1vGrgBBScdHdlDWAsacYcNrXdc5uNVzwWcSK0YedoEWNLU3rLfUKzlfOFHFKjmHp76IKkQDKDgpiWID1O9Lh7w9t6U3v6f7vAg6Ge~gYar6r2EKrMYagB3W-dA5ZHKEx7Q1VTQP0phuHVgqQFBtl~6OJZBjcgZcfLpbmiQ-RB07x6S9DDCygOlyQd9442I18M4AJMYVkznW4LetnH92FUKaWlu6sWtekpTCo~KiNLxz4qJQ3P9S7u0GllsStp3V8NfAdLg3ncy5Yj2odh-OFSfVmoSiPM8I~1~GRpaolmArFbXH~m1qDRk5PhbrJw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Martinsville Board of Works and Safety on June 23 approved a proposal to use funds held by the city’s Redevelopment Commission (RDC) to purchase the civic center building and cover related soft costs. Staff said the RDC has cash on hand and that roughly $1.5 million remains available in the 2021 RDC bond allocation for downtown projects.

Officials described a plan to use RDC cash first and then draw on the 2021 RDC bond funds, which are under the board’s authority. Staff said combining those sources would allow the RDC to buy the building, take on soft costs and assume some expenses for the project without issuing a new bond for municipal debt. During discussion, staff said the approach would save the city “about $1.7 million” compared with other financing approaches discussed previously.

Board members moved and seconded a motion to authorize the expenditure of 2021 RDC bond funds together with RDC cash to proceed with the purchase and associated work. The motion carried on a voice vote. The board and staff indicated additional details would be handled through RDC processes and follow‑up reporting.

Separately, staff said the RDC also plans to take on a parking lot project on Morgan Street and that, even after purchase and project costs, the RDC expects a surplus of roughly $900,000 over the subsequent year based on projected revenues and expenses.","The Martinsville Board of Works approved using Redevelopment Commission funds — combining RDC cash and remaining 2021 RDC bond money — to purchase the civic center building and pay associated soft costs; staff told the board approximately $1.5 million remains available in the RDC 2021 bond funds for downtown projects.",{"_33":99,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":100,"_41":101,"_43":102,"_45":103,"_47":104,"_49":105,"_51":106,"_53":107,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":108,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":109,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6188927,"Martinsville Board approves lease at 56 N.

The board voted to enter the lease at $3,500 per month.

City staff presented the lease as an affordable short‑ to medium‑term option while longer‑range plans for a municipal building remain under consideration. Staff said the municipality has occupied the wastewater treatment plant location for a little more than three years and that the new space meets current office needs. The lease is annual and does not prevent the city from later constructing, adding to or remodeling a permanent municipal facility.

Board members asked whether the lease would commit the city long term; staff said the agreement would not “lock us into anything” and could be ended if the city moved into a new permanent building. The motion to enter the lease was made and seconded during the meeting and carried without recorded roll‑call tallies.

The board did not set an effective start date in the discussion recorded on the transcript; staff asked the board for approval “tonight.” The board also compared the cost to a previously considered municipal bond for a new building, which staff said would have implied monthly debt costs in the tens of thousands, making the lease a lower cost interim solution.","The Martinsville Board of Works and Safety approved an annual lease for office space at 56 North Main Street at $3,500 per month after staff told the board the city received an eviction notice from its current space at the wastewater treatment plant.","actionData","errors"]
