The Board of Sanitary Commissioners approved the register of claims totaling $1,650,288.03 at its Oct. 1 meeting. The motion to approve was made and seconded; the board recorded four votes in favor and one abstention from Commissioner Clark.

Board leadership drew attention to a refund to Ball State University arising from an earlier billing issue. "The only thing worthy I found of highlight was, as discussed at our last meeting, a refund of, I believe, $284,000 to Ball State for an overpayment due to a change with, basically, the billing from the water company was incorrect," said the Board President during the register of claims discussion.

The president explained the refund represents returning funds Ball State did not owe after reconciliation of billing tied to the district’s water provider. No additional detail about the refund mechanism or the exact reconciliation steps was offered during the meeting.

The board recorded the motion to approve the register of claims and the vote: four ayes and one abstention (Mr. Clark). No further motions or amendments related to the register were made.
