Finance committee approves routine invoices, funds fencing behind Indiana Theater
Summary
The finance committee approved prior minutes and routine utility and vendor invoices, including a $1,800 payment to Guaranteed Fencing Company for a fence at the Indiana Theater meant to reduce encampments; committee members authorized staff sign-off on certain routine payments.
At its finance committee meeting, the committee approved the minutes from the prior finance committee meeting and voted to approve routine utility and vendor invoices, including a $1,800 payment to Guaranteed Fencing Company for fencing installed behind the Indiana Theater. The committee also confirmed existing authority for staff to pay time‑sensitive utility bills.
The chair of the committee read a list of invoices and amounts and asked for a motion to approve. The items called out included: $163.85 to Indiana American Water; $1,013.46 to Duke Energy; $28.21 to City of Terre Haute (sewage); $1,800 to Guaranteed Fencing Company for a fence at the Indiana Theater; $120.33 to CenterPoint Energy; and a second monthly $5,000 line for RJL Solutions. The committee approved the motion after a second and an unrecorded voice vote of “Aye.”
Committee members described the fence behind the theater as a protective measure for the building’s backside and said it has reduced daytime encampments, though two to three individuals still spend time outside the theater while awaiting court dates. The committee noted that staff members Chris and others have engaged with those individuals and that the fencing project was intended to limit property damage and nuisance.
The committee confirmed that Tammy and Commissioner Schweitzer retain authority to make time‑sensitive payments such as utilities. The committee also reviewed several smaller, multiple invoices submitted together: a claim totaling $1,306.64 that included several Duke Energy meter charges (one listed as $91.14) and other back‑of‑house energy meters for the theater.
Less critical details from the session included administrative signings: after the vote the chair signed invoices and passed them to committee members Tony and John for additional endorsements. No roll‑call vote or individual vote tallies were recorded in the finance committee transcript.
The committee adjourned the finance committee meeting after routine business and directed remaining audit items to be presented at the full CIB board meeting so the entire board would hear the audit presentation.
