Board approves Aug. 27 minutes, $1.36 million claims, handicap-parking space and library street closure
Summary
At its meeting, the Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety approved the August 27 minutes, authorized $1,361,440 in claims, granted a residential handicap parking space for 2000 S. Elm St., and approved a temporary street closure for the Lindsay Public Library’s anniversary event; all motions passed unanimously.
The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety unanimously approved routine business items including minutes, claims, a residential handicap-parking space and a library street closure during its recent meeting.
The board approved the Aug. 27 meeting minutes. The board then approved a register of claims totaling $1,361,440. City Controller Craig Wright said insurance made up a large portion of the claims and that the register also included payments for road work such as striping and ADA ramps on Tillotson and repairs and replacements to some fire equipment. “We did have insurance was a major part of it. And, also some, road work as far as striping and ADA ramps on Tillotson came out this week and some repairs to some fire equipment and replacements,” Wright said.
The board approved an application for a residential handicap parking space for Stephanie Peckham at 2000 South Elm Street. No applicant representative was present; board discussion noted the paperwork was completed and signed by an APRN rather than a physician, and the board accepted the APRN certification. A board member said, “They did go through an APRN, so it was something we signed off mentally, so that was nice.” The motion to approve the parking space passed with no opposing votes.
The board also approved a temporary street closure requested by Lindsay Public Library for a Ball State immersive learning projection on the front of the historic Carnegie library during the library’s 150th anniversary observance on the first Thursday in November. Sarah McKinley of Lindsay Public Library described the request and the proposed projection. “Lindsay Public Library is celebrating our 100 and fiftieth anniversary this year. So we have a request just to close a small section of Jackson Street in front of the historic Carnegie Library for a Ball State immersive learning project,” McKinley said. The motion to approve the street closure passed unanimously.
Each motion during the meeting was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The transcript does not record individual named vote tallies beyond the unanimous voice votes taken.
