Town Manager Grant Kleinhines said favorable pricing and several grants, plus a recent City of Indianapolis partnership of about $850,000, created an opportunity to design and potentially bid the remaining work this fall while contractors are already in the area. Kleinhines listed multiple funding sources: the Community Crossings matching grant, a Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) grant, and the Indianapolis contribution.

Kleinhines said the design contract of $126,000 would be paid from proceeds of a general obligation bond the town previously issued, which originally funded multiple projects; he said the bond was about $4 million and roughly $2 million remains available. Councilor Sarah Gardner moved approval; President Nick Sturgeon seconded and the motion passed 4-0.

Staff said the design aims to create bid-ready documents by September–October so the current contractors finishing nearby work could include this segment. Construction timing was expected after the 2025 racing season, with staff estimating a likely start in 2026. Kleinhines noted the project scope is primarily road reconstruction and that most sidewalks in the area were replaced three to four years ago, so sidewalk work would be limited.

The contract will let Keeser Consulting begin design work immediately; staff will return with construction bidding and scheduling details.","The council authorized a $126,000 planning and engineering agreement with Keeser Consulting to design the remaining 0.4 miles of 20 Fifth Street, aiming for a September–October bid to align with current contractors; funds will come from the town's remaining general obligation bond proceeds.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6187378,"Speedway approves $6,900 right-of-way purchase for Crawfordsville Road pedestrian project",82,716000,798000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070743-da58eddab88cfe552fe748893f974729&start=716&end=798","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070743-da58eddab88cfe552fe748893f974729/thumbnail_716000.jpg","/articles/6187378/Town-of-Speedway/Marion-County/Indiana/Speedway-approves-6900-right-of-way-purchase-for-Crawfordsville-Road-pedestrian-project","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6187378-d7c0d28e2170359037f942d12698ec51/orig.mp4?Expires=1775594225&Signature=EmRxAtIGiRisk6y7BuZzZiX8VdDv1Da9manOr37hLd8tVygb5P0dU0ty6xifec1HVSuwHosamFCT2RVyc1Qez7chuD5Y1YMUAG1nCjCahJo40hbs96V1LvO7fZYkBHMPuZENSRueXcWqffraG-kKbb4jjq-IKSdTtTa-IrNSVHFAo3qeEsg9ufXG~XzuUgdFcLIBZcZgBzknj22l8eQJajFIyonRUYIz2EpVMpFJcYvIvVj-WUzcf-IVKCLLcLUI7Hb-zla7arlp-JzPTgWKb2D93xfxpKH2BnEuslRm52bQ2q8QdnERlb8L3JYgGgZBakUem2dG6dsgyeVzFOPJ9Q__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Speedway Town Council on June 23 approved the purchase of a small right-of-way parcel for the Crawfordsville Road pedestrian improvement project, authorizing prompt payment of $6,900 to Speedway Capital Appreciation LLC for parcel number 19.

Town Manager Grant Kleinhines told the council this is one of seven parcels needed for the project and that construction has proceeded within already‑owned right-of-way where possible. \"This 1, the right of way purchase will be in the amount of $6,900,\" Kleinhines said. He asked the council to authorize the clerk-treasurer to issue payment immediately.

Kleinhines said the town expects to obtain two other parcels \"fairly easily\" and that one property owner had a short final deadline to accept the town's offer. If that offer expires, Kleinhines said the town will file condemnation on the remaining two parcels.

Councilor Vince Noblett moved the purchase approval; the motion was seconded and passed 4-0. Councilors said the new sidewalk will improve walkability along the shopping-center frontage and should benefit pedestrian traffic.

The council authorized prompt payment and instructed staff to continue negotiations on remaining parcels; condemnation was presented as the next step if offers are not accepted.","The council approved payment of $6,900 to acquire parcel number 19 from Speedway Capital Appreciation LLC as part of the Crawfordsville Road pedestrian improvements; the town expects to pursue condemnation on two remaining parcels if offers expire.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6187382,"Speedway council authorizes purchase of 75-foot Pierce aerial fire apparatus",70,240000,310000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5070743-da58eddab88cfe552fe748893f974729&start=240&end=310","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5070743-da58eddab88cfe552fe748893f974729/thumbnail_240000.jpg","/articles/6187382/Town-of-Speedway/Marion-County/Indiana/Speedway-council-authorizes-purchase-of-75-foot-Pierce-aerial-fire-apparatus","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6187382-6ae131fb74f61cd48f9112852d6e218e/orig.mp4?Expires=1775594225&Signature=lkkfmpZx3SdbLQtaI6REg9KzIrMAwHvUYLR3UsrjDWw-JQSQWTihElAbyUbpiIqfrmQ-dr3TNTSrCQCST5ARtn0r07k998-y4nhi2rbhxN0A2tazxVmtFjN0Hnw9ygTi5bDAbYFWJrBFP052uYpwNfcL9vCi6fZTZJFStNvyZnGPr1hAOZN17Jz-xV7H9epvSqIWmnYFHeayVCMP4AxrpexqTXYa6eFcRJCNi59LIH7gs777yLFL97QpHFWHtzr72uQBJxs66HtsEeKXQvtCPZkHDsPOqvO-0ZHkh6~LkcmNGCEPfXRhoz8k93IAYQMxwh4v7-IBbeRA8d1RXb6joA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Speedway Town Council on June 23 approved Resolution 2025-09 authorizing the special purchase of a Pierce Velocity 75-foot aerial fire apparatus for the Speedway Fire Department at a contract price of $1,688,900.

The purchase authorizes three documents: the purchase agreement, a participation agreement tied to Sourcewell (a statewide cooperative purchasing program), and related financing documents. Town Manager Grant Kleinhines said the vehicle will not arrive for about four years and the town will finance the purchase closer to delivery. \"We will then do financing in a couple of years,\" Kleinhines said.

The resolution, as approved, also grants the town manager and the clerk-treasurer authority to approve product specification changes up to $20,000. Councilor Sarah Gardner moved the resolution and President Nick Sturgeon seconded; the measure passed 4-0.

Councilors and staff explained the operational and insurance rationale for the apparatus. Kleinhines told the council the useful life of the type of vehicle is \"15 to 20 years.\" Town Attorney Ted Nolting noted the contract includes an option to cancel within a year of delivery at no cost, which he said protects future councils from being bound by a four-year commitment.

Councilors said the truck is intended to maintain response capability and protect the town's ISO rating, which affects homeowner and business insurance. Kleinhines said the ladder is needed to serve large industrial and manufacturing facilities in Speedway and to respond to taller structures and apartment complexes.

Officials also discussed cost trends. President Nick Sturgeon said delaying purchase further likely would increase the price because of tariffs and supply pressures; he estimated costs could rise \"somewhere in the 20 to 30% range\" if postponed.

The council's motion authorizes placing the order now, accepting the longer delivery timeline, and preserving options on final specifications and cancellation. Delivery, financing and any design changes will be handled under the authorities granted by the resolution.","The Speedway Town Council approved Resolution 2025-09 to authorize purchase of a Pierce Velocity 75-foot aerial apparatus at a contract price of $1,688,900, allowing limited design changes and including a cancellation window a year before delivery.","actionData","errors"]
