Logansport Common Council on Monday, Jan. 27, 2025, approved Ordinance 2025-03, committing $1,353,333 from the city as the local match for a Community Crossings matching-grant application to fund the 2025 Street Revitalization Plan.
The ordinance was introduced and, by motion, the council voted to suspend the rules and adopt it on its first and only reading. The vote registered unanimous approval by the council members recorded on the roll call for that vote.
The ordinance authorizes the city to allocate $1,353,333 toward the Community Crossings matching grant application. Council members and committee chairs reported that public works and finance committees had discussed the Community Crossings project at recent meetings; the public works committee meeting was held Jan. 22 and the finance committee said it would report additional details at the next regular council meeting on March 3.
Committee reports at the start of the special session noted other items discussed at recent meetings. The planning and economic development committee discussed vacating an alley between 15th and 16th streets at Wright Street, transferring the East Gate/Ivy Tech building to the Redevelopment Commission, and gifting 805 and 809 19th Street to Habitat for Humanity. The public safety committee reported that the fire chief recommended adding a third mechanic to ensure one mechanic on each shift and indicated the change could be accommodated within the department—s existing budget by transferring funds; that matter was discussed at committee but was not the subject of a council vote at the special session.
There were no public comments at the special call meeting. After disposition of Ordinance 2025-03 the council adjourned.
