Board approves Steinberger staging at Iron Horse Park if no alternatives found in 10 days
Summary
The Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety on June 11 approved Steinberger Construction to stage equipment at Iron Horse Park for the Farmers Market, contingent on staff review and an automatic approval if no alternatives are identified within 10 days; the company will be responsible for any damages incurred during staging.
On June 11, 2025, the Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety approved staging by Steinberger Construction at Iron Horse Park for the Farmers Market contingent on a short staff review and with a 10‑day automatic approval clause if no alternatives were found.
The board voted to add the item to the agenda and then approved a motion that, as Mayor Chris Martin put it, “Approval contingent on appraisal from Aaron and Shaver with alt or approval from Aaron and Jan with alternatives. If no alternatives found after 10 days, automatic approval is given for the staging of construction for the Farmer's Market to Steinberger, and they will be responsible for any damages occurred during the staging.” The motion passed with recorded affirmative votes from Mayor Chris Martin and Board member Levi Jones.
Why it matters: the approved staging will allow Steinberger Construction to place equipment and materials in a park parking area used for the Farmers Market; the board attached both a short administrative review and a financial responsibility clause so that the city would not absorb repair costs if the paved area is damaged. Board members and staff discussed timing: the 10‑day review period begins on June 11, and staff said that, if no alternatives are identified by the end of that period, staging could begin the Monday after June 20.
Board instructions and conditions were explicit. The approval requires either an alternative location or sign‑off from two staff members (identified in the meeting as Aaron and Jan); if neither provides an alternative within 10 days the staging authorization takes effect automatically. The board also stated that Steinberger Construction must be responsible for repairing any damage to the parking lot caused by staging activity.
The board voted twice on related procedural steps: first to add the Steinberger staging item to the agenda and then on the substantive motion to approve staging under the stated conditions. Both votes recorded “Yes” from Mayor Chris Martin and Board member Levi Jones; other members were absent for parts of the discussion or not recorded on the vote roll call.
Next steps: staff (Aaron and Jan) will complete their review and either propose alternatives or sign off; absent an alternative within 10 days of the June 11 meeting, the staging authorization becomes effective and Steinberger Construction may begin staging per the board’s timeline and the damage‑responsibility requirement.
