Mount Carmel board sets TIP public hearing for Nov. 24, waives second reading
Summary
The Mount Carmel City board approved an ordinance fixing public hearings on the TIP for Nov. 24, 2025 at 3:30 p.m., waiving a second reading. Bids for a fire-department exhaust system were reviewed and staff will return with a recommendation; consent agenda items were also approved.
The Mount Carmel City board voted to set public hearings on the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) for Nov. 24, 2025 at 3:30 p.m. and voted to waive a second reading of the ordinance. Speaker 5 introduced the ordinance and sought the waiver; Speaker 2 moved to adopt and Speaker 1 seconded. A roll-call check recorded affirmative responses from Mr. Beatz, Mr. Eichmeier, Mr. Meador and Commissioner Seidlauer, and the mayor announced the ordinance was accepted.
The ordinance establishes the date and time for seven public hearings connected to the TIP expansion the board has discussed over the past six weeks. The board’s action waives the formal second-reading step so the hearings can proceed as scheduled, according to the motion adopted at the meeting.
Also on the agenda, the mayor reported two competitive bids for a new exhaust extraction system for the fire department. Magna Grip submitted a bid of $75,923 and Hastings Air Energy Controls bid $99,973. The mayor said staff and the fire chief will review specifications, including differences in required tailpipe or tailgate modifications, and return with a recommendation; no award was made at the meeting.
The board approved the consent agenda earlier in the meeting by roll call. No dissenting votes were recorded in the transcript for the ordinance or the consent motion; minutes approval and routine items were handled as part of the consent process.
What’s next: The TIP public hearings are scheduled for Nov. 24, 2025 at 3:30 p.m.; staff will review fire-department exhaust bids and report back with a recommendation and potential contract award.
