Monroe County commissioners voted June 5 to approve a contract with Bloomington Junk Service, not to exceed $6,000 from the County General Fund, to clean debris at 8281 North Sycamore Street. Planning staff said the property is subject to litigation and an interlocal agreement between the Town of Stinesville and Monroe County and that a court order authorizes the county to clean the site.
"This property is located in the floodway," Planning Director Nestor Jallen told the board and showed a short video of fast‑moving water adjacent to the property. She said county staff obtained three estimates and selected the lowest for the work. Two dumpsters previously placed on the site had already been used to remove some material, but additional cleanup is required. Jallen said a camper on the rear of the property lacks a title and removal of that unit would be handled separately if and when title can be obtained; the priority now is to clear items on the ground.
Commissioners approved the contract by roll call vote 3–0.
