Alcohol permit endorsement: Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-20 endorsing issuance of a three-way alcoholic beverage permit to PVFG Holding LLC for a proposed restaurant at 1552 Main Street (part of an expansion of the Wilcox Building). Town Manager Grant Kleinhans said the paperwork was prepared by the town attorney and would be signed and submitted to the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission (via the town's endorsement process).

Paving change order: Staff presented Change Order No. 3 for the 25th Street reconstruction project with Midwest Paving. The change order adds $27,274.51 for additional fine grading of subgrade where soft areas were encountered and extends the contract by four days. Kleinhans said the base and intermediate asphalt layers are in place and final paving and striping are anticipated in early December, with final completion tentatively set for Dec. 8. Council approved the change order.

Cell signal booster: The council approved a proposal from Exos to install a low-loss cable and interior antenna in the council chambers to address poor cell coverage.
