Bishop said she sought a $125 adjustment to her sanitary sewer bill because of the break and the company’s handling. Greg Borg and sanitation staff explained that when the water company issues a gallonage adjustment it passes through automatically to the city’s billing; when the water company issues only a flat-dollar adjustment the city does not receive a gallonage reading and cannot automatically adjust sewer charges. Staff said their standard automatic adjustment in cases where water did not enter the sanitary system would have been $46.86 under the city’s winter/summer usage process.

The board debated the recommendation and then moved and voted to grant the homeowner’s requested adjustment as stated in the motion recorded in the minutes. Greg Borg said staff would update the account and attach the approved minutes to the account record. The transcript records the motion language inconsistently as \"$1.25\" during the motion; staff confirmed to the board they would process the approved adjustment and document it in the minutes.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works Meeting 07-07-2025","oneSentenceSummary","A Greenwood resident who reported two water-main breaks received a sewer-bill adjustment after the Board of Public Works and Safety voted to approve an amount larger than staff’s $46.86 recommendation.","taxTitle","Greenwood, Johnson County, Indiana","taxId",4102,"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},6748512,"Board directs staff to seek drawdown on developer guarantees if Submerged Crossing work not complete by Aug. 18",196,1583000,1779000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335679-6a8742bacdef2eb009bd03d6f8698c7e&start=1583&end=1779","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335679-6a8742bacdef2eb009bd03d6f8698c7e/thumbnail_1583000.jpg","/articles/6748512/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Board-directs-staff-to-seek-drawdown-on-developer-guarantees-if-Submerged-Crossing-work-not-complete-by-Aug-18","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6748512-2a5f7d4d4638e6197625d2a14f37d01e/orig.mp4?Expires=1773766295&Signature=JSVwFy95aEUJOskbXoQj75Oh9kk7hfOY0RgDmZOUkG7QfRswkDwMg0oOsVxAfRv5T2iFSfCLrRraU6j4l~IVDoQQhX1Xp-ebLvWNSJ7UMlzceQXLyv8AaA4K5iVvOanUpZE0CEoP-3a9o5mVW7paXN0Usa3gUS~B-dAm~iqOvhICKIYwscqwUIuwBBL9vQwc-qeD6n5gYHR0qN0DwZ7YrWDbAZQ7mnF05~opngQYzvPccwlg35r7DQKWHvy2cb0aAG6yQ8pQRnMQTGIhQuBG5~c7MtH7vJBP4az0j6JW~zHrr1M~jyue88ikPHoapGSjENvtqxolsULtfdY9uBoBzQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Engineering staff told the board that infrastructure work in Blocks D, E and F of the Submerged Crossing commercial subdivision has lagged for more than a year. Staff said a large stockpile of material remained on site and repeated requests for progress had not produced the promised work.

Staff reported five outstanding performance guarantees covering dirt/stockpile removal (~$678,000), erosion controls (~$94,000), streets (~$243,000), sidewalks and pathways (~$45,000), and signs/monuments (~$195,000). Because those guarantees are scheduled to expire Sept. 9, staff recommended setting an earlier internal deadline so the city would have time to act before guarantees lapsed.

The board voted to direct staff to notify the developer that the city will begin the drawdown process on the performance guarantees if the developer does not either renew the guarantees or complete the required improvements by Aug. 18. The motion passed by voice vote; staff said the developer had been notified in April and would be notified again.

Board members emphasized the need to give the developer a final reasonable deadline while preserving the city’s ability to draw on letters of credit or other guarantees if work is not completed.","After months of slow progress at the Submerged Crossing commercial subdivision, the Greenwood Board of Public Works and Safety directed staff to notify the developer and begin drawing on multiple performance guarantees if improvements are not completed or guarantees renewed by Aug. 18.",{"_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},6748517,"Board approves $15.44 million sanitation-fund advance to front Fire Station 95 construction",99,2036000,2135000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335679-6a8742bacdef2eb009bd03d6f8698c7e&start=2036&end=2135","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335679-6a8742bacdef2eb009bd03d6f8698c7e/thumbnail_2036000.jpg","/articles/6748517/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Board-approves-1544-million-sanitation-fund-advance-to-front-Fire-Station-95-construction","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6748517-fe2667c1d4c90eb8094ccb539f3f317f/orig.mp4?Expires=1773766295&Signature=hPWvG6zE0UKayJ4gMYx73OvbgBLBw~O2K2yLkleTQdqFfbkHVACoysrRTruq1dkhBhCSr-6l1mNLbF8khk7EtHI7HqSKdMlYsnWW3tluJiWGahAUbbkqQuQXkYfYvgDpqGxmc8lUWTBAhkl0x1yd1DNlTptFZ2J-Rldv9hT51ohXCzOiizTbdTe84O~g~voAVyq1HK~qX5fPpEIthB0A~KvfFfa~7jwrcoxNHe15AjNMtiPRAyaQSweGMf6yNS4XAuVQyHLdMxzk0ykEUwu82EQi6V1HWsO9OCePhjNA7LoEh6VhLQa~Jar11EuAe-vBLqI-a20dtquqXxMDzR0O4g__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Board of Public Works and Safety approved an appropriation of $15,443,388 from the city’s sanitation utility to provide interim funding for construction of Fire Station 95. Greg Borg, a city staff member, told the board the appropriation would be reimbursed next year with bonds issued from the Worsville Road tax-increment financing (TIF) district when the project is turned over to the city.

The appropriation was presented after the Redevelopment Commission approved a financing plan that anticipates bond issuance on project completion. Borg said using sanitation utility cash up front would reduce interest costs by avoiding a long-term borrowing need before the bonds are issued. He gave an estimated project completion date of summer 2026 and asked the board to authorize the appropriation so work can proceed.

Board members moved, seconded and voted to approve the appropriation as presented. No roll-call vote tally by name was recorded in the transcript; the motion was approved by voice vote.

The board did not specify exact contract awards or a construction timeline in the discussion beyond the estimate; Borg said the bonds would reimburse the sanitation utility when the project is complete. The board did not record any conditions on the appropriation in the meeting minutes beyond the reimbursement plan described by Borg.

Members of the public and other agenda items that followed were not tied to additional conditions on the Station 95 funding.","The Greenwood Board of Public Works and Safety on July 7 authorized an appropriation of $15,443,388 from the sanitation utility to front-fund construction of Fire Station 95, with plans to reimburse the utility through bonds issued from the Worsville Road TIF after project completion in 2026.",{"_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},6748498,"Board signs off on multiple development acceptances, bond releases and small contracts; ratifies Main Street change order",1087,852000,1939000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5335679-6a8742bacdef2eb009bd03d6f8698c7e&start=852&end=1939","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5335679-6a8742bacdef2eb009bd03d6f8698c7e/thumbnail_852000.jpg","/articles/6748498/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Board-signs-off-on-multiple-development-acceptances-bond-releases-and-small-contracts-ratifies-Main-Street-change-order","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6748498-cc99da01638b975e4c120c8f1cc8d259/orig.mp4?Expires=1773766295&Signature=UVnTZOYAvIivPiSZ08CJgpGxSq47fc~II9ng~KllXDYRdAKj34v0Zw0gw7IgVzABp1WQ~pCgAZlzECK9XbvNoFfdnrmHCIZKHdBPufGA~8HYk-5YfP08p-w1XsdKntRRdW1bR-x0XZpNGf7GP1dZHd4vScqmILGOF1IWZ8QJxnFB9rAQxAih-JwSSV6FIWt7k6d9kAju5BtLEbD71BcX6wtetgicjcSjuV8H5z89ISswBCsCtGB~KNKpRk8D9wcnqSpJAW9JyLgDmFDPixhYkdwVH4wQtYlVI9xNYyj4nBDO4OEMkFwLjpyhxP5FHuw-n8PJJExd1-ximL4s-th3kA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The board approved multiple routine development items on the July 7 docket.

Eric Carter asked the board to release two maintenance guarantees for a Speedway fuel center at the southwest corner of East Main Street and Grama Road after staff inspections confirmed work was in satisfactory condition; the board approved the release.

Lisonbee Goldberg of Pulte Homes of Indiana requested acceptance of improvements, acceptance of maintenance guarantees and release of performance guarantees for several sections of Pulte’s subdivisions (Section 1A, Section 1 and Section 3). The board voted to accept the improvements and release the guarantees as presented.

The board approved acceptance of improvements and release of performance guarantees for Scottsdale Estates Section 3 and authorized the mayor or deputy mayor to sign operations and maintenance agreements for commercial projects (Audi golf court addition and a Subway site) related to water-quality facilities.

Engineering staff asked the board to ratify change order 776505, which replaced seeding and erosion-control blanket with sod to stabilize an area on Main Street; the board ratified the change order and approved the net increase noted in the minutes. The board also approved two smaller contracts and a remediation contract for Fire Station 93 with EcoLogic LLC for $15,164.95.
