Board approves multiple street permits and event barricades, rejects out-of-jurisdiction permit and surpluses antique tools
Summary
Evansville’s Board of Public Works approved right-of-way permits (items 1903–1914), denied one permit located in the county (1915), approved several community event barricade and street-closure requests (including a Philharmonic date change, a school Main Street event and a university 5K pending a waiver), and declared a set of old street-maintenance tools surplus.
At its meeting, the Evansville Board of Public Works approved a series of right-of-way permits, multiple community event barricade requests, and the surplus of obsolete street-maintenance tools discovered during the department’s move to a new building.
Staff read Appendix A, recommending approval for right-of-way permit applications numbered 1903 through 1914. The board voted to approve those applications and separately rejected application 1915 because the work location is in the county and therefore outside the board’s jurisdiction.
The board also approved barricades and temporary street closures for several community events: a date change for the Evansville Philharmonic’s New Tradition Series, City Church of Evans’ outdoor movie night, Haney’s Corner Art District Association’s Front Porch Fest, Signature School’s Main Street event, and the University of Evans’ 5K race. Staff noted a missing signed waiver for the university’s 5K and the board approved that item on condition of receiving the signed waiver.
Regarding city property, staff reported a cache of antique tools—pickaxe, three shovels, a spade, two level rods and a hand auger—found during moving operations; the board approved declaring the items surplus.
Board members voted by voice on each item; the transcript records "all in favor" and approvals but does not provide roll-call vote tallies. Next steps: staff will process permit paperwork, confirm the university waiver, and complete surplus disposal according to city procedure.
