Mayor Chris Martin leads Logan Sport Board's approval of $702K claims and new contracts

The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety convened on July 16, 2025, under the leadership of Mayor Chris Martin, to address several key issues, including financial approvals and community agreements.

The meeting began with the approval of minutes from the previous session, followed by a significant financial discussion. The board approved claims totaling $702,268.23, which included various expenditures such as $104,424.97 for Deluxe claims and $327,861.79 for TIF Industrial Park claims. Both Mayor Martin and board member Levi Jones voted in favor of these claims.

In new business, the board discussed contracts and agreements, starting with a motion to approve a parking lot resurfacing project by Central Paving. This project will be funded through a 50/50 split between the city and utilities. The motion received unanimous support from the board.

Additionally, the board approved a performance agreement for the Logansport Junior Civic Players, who recently participated in a community event. This agreement was necessary due to a delay in finalizing the contract.

During the meeting, updates were provided on various community projects. Progress was reported on the clubhouse and driving range, with construction on the maintenance barn and simulator room underway. An ADA assessment is nearing completion, and construction is expected to begin soon on the Storage Barn and Spencer Park Playground.

The meeting concluded without public comments, and the board expressed optimism about ongoing projects and community engagement. The next steps involve continuing to monitor the progress of these initiatives and ensuring timely completion.
