King St. The work is funded through the city’s Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) neighborhood blight elimination program.
Staff noted that the asbestos lab analysis required ACM abatement before demolition and that the Department of Development solicited proposals from three Indiana-licensed contractors; two proposals were received. The proposals listed in the agenda were Air Management Techniques Inc. at $8,050 and Environmental Assurance Company Inc. at $19,500. The staff recommendation named Air Management Techniques Inc. as the lowest and most responsive bidder and recommended awarding the ACM abatement contract to that firm.
The agenda text contains an internal inconsistency: the initial proposal price for Air Management Techniques is listed as $8,050, while the written recommendation states an award amount of $8,500. The board approved the recommended award by motion and unanimous voice vote; the record does not contain a clarification reconciling the $50 difference at the meeting.
Peter Shaw, identified in the agenda as the city’s CDBG/HUD grant manager, presented the item for action.","The board approved awarding asbestos-containing material (ACM) abatement for an abandoned house at 211 W.

The board record includes the engineering department’s recommendation that the estimate — $48,750 less 5% retainage of $2,437.50 — be approved, reflecting quantities recorded from June 16 through July 9. The original contract amount listed on the agenda was $712,795.
The staff summary identified the item as coming from John Piker, director of engineering. The board approved the recommendation by motion and unanimous voice vote.
The engineering summary names the contractor in two different forms in the agenda text; the transcript alternately references “E. S. Wagner Company” and “ES Whitener Company.” The board record at the meeting did not resolve that discrepancy; the board approved the pay estimate as presented by the engineering department but did not read a clarified contractor name into the record.","The Board approved pay estimate No. 1 for the Jackson–Morrow Water Extension project, authorizing payment of $46,312.50 representing work through July 9.",{"_33":111,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":112,"_41":113,"_43":114,"_45":115,"_47":116,"_49":117,"_51":118,"_53":119,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":120,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":121,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6163286,"Kokomo board authorizes city crews to enter six properties to remove abated nuisance items",40,513000,553000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5436087-0153918c9cb16889fa93490611b70a62&start=513&end=553","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5436087-0153918c9cb16889fa93490611b70a62/thumbnail_513000.jpg","/articles/6163286/Kokomo-City/Howard-County/Indiana/Kokomo-board-authorizes-city-crews-to-enter-six-properties-to-remove-abated-nuisance-items","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6163286-5497a44863072214c98329e63d65f2b7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771172830&Signature=PeomwoXq0TOrOXLxoAlcfykRYEzRgJhbXahKdiIBGpoPM4pcF7UiuW02BMuw~kx2mNGM45olZzjSpTf9dxRQrIq-vQxCiw8oy3FLPtCy9SwJHhHydgbS-e4hK0GoVtk0ZyQ6bpDHHiHYFaNVMz6epkjaqb4Lzc-tWoClxNhFN1KKzxN8BjTnWlE1yW~P6gklZJop84yzZOQTpztW2g~cU1ogmYBM9scm6HQjC2nTscHr5aO~0SoRy5ZPmCOJEwDepy4kw~DSjrpJLtQD6gbHsD3zTAtut6DnbFnNki55zIf--cc8wxagziUY~g6Km556Evao0VoJhxCygwc3bjhhRw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Board of Public Works and Safety in Kokomo on July 16 authorized city crews to enter six properties and remove items that code enforcement previously abated but that remain in violation.
The move affects 1508 N. Morrison St.; 1118 E. Mulberry St.; 1823 N. J St.; 1721 N. J St.; 1218 N. Phillips St.; and 111 E. Steffenbaugh St. The board approved the action by unanimous voice vote after a staff report from code enforcement identified the properties as remaining in violation.
Board member motions to allow entry and removal were seconded and met with the board’s affirmative vote. The board’s approval gives city crews permission to enter the listed private properties to remove the abated items identified by the city’s code office; the action was presented as an enforcement follow-up rather than a demolition or sale.
The action came during the board’s regular business on July 16; no public commenters spoke on the item at the meeting.
The board did not specify any additional follow-up steps at the meeting, such as timelines for removal or cost recovery from property owners.","The Board of Public Works and Safety approved a motion on July 16 authorizing city crews to enter six Kokomo properties to remove items previously abated by the city code office.","actionData","errors"]
