The Board of Works meeting held on September 22, 2025, in Lebanon, Indiana, commenced with a review of department head reports, which concluded without any questions from the board members. The meeting then transitioned to old business, where no items were presented for discussion.

Moving into new business, the first agenda item was a street closure request from the Boys and Girls Club for their annual Gravy Chase event on Thanksgiving Day. Eric Richards addressed the board, outlining the proposed route for the 5K run, which would start at Clues Brews, proceed along Meridian Street, loop around Memorial Park, and return. He anticipated approximately 500 participants for the event. The board unanimously approved the street closure request following a motion and a second.

The next item on the agenda was another street closure request, this time from the Lebanon High School Key Club for their World Food Day event. Emily Aber, the president of the Key Club, presented the request and indicated that a presentation would accompany her proposal. The specifics of the road closure were not detailed in the transcript, but the board's engagement with the request suggests a supportive atmosphere for community events.

In summary, the meeting effectively addressed two significant street closure requests aimed at promoting community engagement through local events. The board's approval of both requests reflects a commitment to supporting initiatives that foster community spirit and participation. Further details regarding the Key Club's event will likely be discussed in subsequent meetings.
