Why it matters: The improvements affect public amenities and program schedules for residents who use parks, pools, and recreational facilities in Logansport.
Jan, the parks representative, said the clubhouse renovation has been under way for a couple of months and that driving-range seating is completed. Construction of the maintenance barn began this week, and the simulator room is “coming along” and may open in three to four weeks, Jan said. Trail cameras are being installed incrementally and an ADA assessment is “almost done” pending the final report.
Jan also reported that a storage barn and Spencer Park playground work are expected in August, and that rental lockers (described as “Iron Horse lockers”) now available operate at $2 per hour and require use of a phone and a photo of the returned equipment to avoid additional charges. Jan provided participation counts for lessons and programs: 27 swim lessons in June, 32 tennis lessons and 41 golf lessons; the Firefly Walk at Houston Park drew 86 attendees. Jan said the daily Summer to Sundown music series has run most Sundays and that the Cass County Arts Alliance manages that program.
The board voted to approve the parks monthly report during the meeting.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Board of Public Works and Safety","oneSentenceSummary","Parks staff reported progress on multiple projects including clubhouse seating, a maintenance barn under construction, a simulator room expected to open in weeks, trail-camera installation, a nearly complete ADA assessment, and a splashpad with concrete recently poured and opening expected in the coming weeks.","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},6166871,"Logansport board orders $1,000 fine for chronic rental-property violations; several other cleanup votes fail or unresolved",686,811000,1497000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5414059-4c663d17439b9dcc1b8bf0d48c81423e&start=811&end=1497","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5414059-4c663d17439b9dcc1b8bf0d48c81423e/thumbnail_811000.jpg","/articles/6166871/Indiana/Logansport-board-orders-1000-fine-for-chronic-rental-property-violations-several-other-cleanup-votes-fail-or-unresolved","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6166871-b5488591a384f6ff2a406ff30c816c81/orig.mp4?Expires=1770450745&Signature=naM~wEFWe9FTA2wRLXzN3QLOHac4poQTzsbKhvuLVBwK1IG6qZZwfd~IpvvH-U2Kg6uOdeBfGS3mch6rZZZL7-a6P5bwKYBqpvl4vk3hbX6y4pY0qsuCYH94pg57ZhSQySXlH2Gu0TfmBC4SI36KkY6Z2lu8VzmPoi3t4eyRsL4jSi6cehh~DiAcJX-czE5u5sqM~5N3RTHOpFuvGQUbdoP1opiE2BnABg1EJS7GmG8Z3jhFh-EbVgJ9e7ttadn1MssIYwoALo7GBMeip1gdikx-0cMDWAPJH8ufVYdR16Xu6rBEptorFmp837H7AWGHvzVInQJ1P-2aoh4Xnhz1fA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety on July 16 approved a $1,000 fine for the owner of 831 High Street after city code enforcement reported repeated mattress and trash violations at that rental property. The board voted in favor of the fine during the meeting.
Why it matters: Board members and code enforcement framed the action as part of ongoing enforcement against repeat nuisance and health-code violations at rental properties in the city, and staff said owners may face higher fines for future repeat violations.
Code enforcement officer Randy reported multiple properties with repeat violations and described persistent nonresponse from some rental owners and occupants. “We’ve had 0 contact from these individuals,” Randy said of one property, and later added, “we’re making money off these rentals. We need to be responsible with our rentals.”
Randy told the board that several properties had mattresses or household debris left out on the street; some owners paid previously assessed $100 fines and have begun eviction proceedings in at least one case. For 134 West Linden Avenue Randy said the owner had paid the $100 fine and was pursuing eviction of the occupants after multiple incidents. At 1212 Ash Street and at 906 High Street, board votes to approve cleanup actions were recorded as negative votes by the two board members who responded; the transcript records “Chris Martin? No. Levi Jones? No.” for those roll-call questions.
Board members and staff urged rental owners to adopt clearer lease terms and to check properties more consistently. Randy recommended owners include provisions that allow landlords to charge tenants for cleanup and noted the practical effect of repeated violations: “if this happens again … you’re gonna get up to a $2,000 fine,” the mayor warned, referencing the penalty ceiling described in the meeting.
The board also approved the rental property inspector’s monthly report during the same session. Christian, the rental property inspector, reported inspections for June: 41 parcels inspected covering 91 units, of which 8 were new inspections and 33 were reinspections; six certificates were issued; two new rental registrations were added and one registration removed; and 69 letters were sent to property owners.
What the board did and did not do: The board formally approved a $1,000 fine for 831 High Street. For some other cleanup items the recorded roll-call responses were “No,” and for at least one property (134 West Linden) staff reported cleanup and payment but the transcript does not record a clear roll-call outcome. No ordinance or state statute was cited by name in the transcript.
Next steps and staff recommendations: Staff advised owners to revise rental agreements to make tenants financially responsible for cleanup and to increase owner oversight. Randy and other staff emphasized that repeated violations may trigger higher fines and further enforcement.","The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety approved a $1,000 fine for 831 High Street for repeated mattress and trash violations, while votes on cleanups at other rental properties either failed or had outcomes not fully recorded. Staff urged rental owners to revise lease agreements and to monitor tenants after multiple repeat violations.","actionData","errors"]
