The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety approved the register of claims totaling $258,528 at its July 23 meeting.

Craig Wright, identified in the meeting as the city controller, told the board the claims list was sent the previous afternoon and described the batch as “kind of a short list this week,” noting payments included sidewalk improvements and routine utilities. A board member remarked, “That's the lowest claims I've seen in 6 years.”

A motion to approve the register of claims was moved, seconded and adopted by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The board did not add further comment or request additional documentation during the meeting.

The meeting record does not break the register down line-by-line on the public audio; the controller offered a brief summary and opened the floor for questions, none of which were raised.
