The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety on July 2 approved claims totaling $2,072,915 and asked staff to clarify an insurance allocation that showed up on page 7 of the register of claims.

Craig Wright, the register of claims, told the board the packet included the usual utilities, a payment for the Information Technology department, surfacing work for the Street Department and a couple of bond payments listed under health care. “We did have a payment for the IT department,” Wright said.

A board member asked specifically who was charged for the insurance allocation on page 7 and requested a more detailed description. Wright said he would follow up with the account to identify who is being charged.

A board member moved to approve the minutes from the prior meeting and later moved approval of the claims for $2,072,915 as presented; another member seconded both motions. The board took a voice vote, with all present saying “aye,” and the motions carried.

The register item drew a brief procedural question from the board but no changes to the claims were made at the meeting; Wright was directed to provide clarifying detail on the insurance line item after the meeting.
