Logansport board approves $309,023 in claims and multiple service contracts
Summary
The Logansport Board of Works and Safety approved $309,023.13 in city claims and unanimously approved several professional services agreements, including a translation contract, a municipal secretary services contract, an advisory retainer, repair services and website/marketing work.
Mayor Chris Martin presided over the Logansport Board of Works and Safety meeting on Jan. 29 and moved to approve $309,023.13 in claims and a package of professional service agreements, all of which were approved by the board.
The approved claims totalled $309,023.13 and included: $169,132.27 in general claims, $9,429.40 in TIF industrial park claims, $3,609.78 in TIF discretionary claims, a TIF redemption claim of $20,542.96, a TIF hotel claim of $44,317.94, a TIF bond interest claim of $50,265.63, and a grant claim of $11,725.15.
Board members approved a set of contracts presented during the meeting. Those agreements included a translation services professional services agreement for Mariana Dominguez; third-party secretary services for the Redevelopment Commission (RDC) to provide secretarial support and claims processing; a Baker Tilly advisory services retainer to provide annual-report and other advisory support (the contract was described as a monthly retainer; a dollar amount was not specified in the meeting); a repair-services agreement with Carson Fire and Security (described as work in the adult learning center, including sprinkler-system repairs); and an agreement with ASH Interactive for rebranding and website services to update the city’s online presence. The board also approved using the Logansport High School (LHS) culinary program to prepare refreshments for an upcoming Galentine’s Day event; the culinary work was described as within the program’s budget.
All motions for the claims and listed contracts were approved on voice votes by the two board members present, Chris Martin and Levi Jones. No dissenting votes were recorded.
The board did not specify contract dollar amounts for Baker Tilly, the third-party secretary services, or ASH Interactive during the meeting minutes beyond the claims totals; the meeting record shows the monthly retainer for Baker Tilly was discussed but not quantified in the transcript.
The approvals advance routine municipal operations and staffing supports, including translation access for city services and a targeted refresh of the city website.
Ending: The board proceeded through remaining agenda items after approving the claims and contracts; no formal challenges to these motions were recorded.
