The Saint Joseph County Council opened and closed a public hearing on a proposed bond for the Mishawaka Penn Harris Library.
The clerk read the public notice describing an appropriation in the amount of $4,200,000 plus original issue premium and investment earnings for renovations to the Mishawaka branch and the Bittersweet branch, specifying roof improvements, lighting and HVAC upgrades and purchases of equipment and technology across the library district. The reading noted incidental expenses and issuance costs related to the bonds and that funds are to be provided by issuance and sale of bonds by the library.
The chair invited anyone in the room or online to speak in favor or opposition; no speakers came forward and the chair closed the hearing. The chair clarified that there would be no vote that evening on appropriating the money described in the public hearing—the bond authorization was separate from any appropriation vote. Council did not take a vote on the appropriation during the meeting.
