The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety approved its Nov. 26 minutes and a register of claims totaling $1,957,742 at its most recent meeting, city officials said. City Controller Craig Wright presented the claims, calling out a fourth-quarter 9-1-1 fee of $250,000 paid to the Delaware County auditor and several construction-related charges.

"Our fourth quarter 9 11 fee paid to the Delaware County auditor for $250,000," Craig Wright said, and noted ongoing work on Columbus Avenue and finishing work at Fire Station Number 6, which he said is "just about done with that." The board approved the register by voice vote; the transcript records affirmative responses of "Aye" and states the motion was accepted. The transcript does not list individual vote tallies.

The board also approved minutes from the Nov. 26 meeting after an unnamed member moved approval and another seconded; that motion passed by voice vote. With the claims approved, the board announced a brief schedule adjustment for the holidays: meetings will be held Tuesday, Dec. 23 instead of Wednesday, Dec. 24, and Tuesday, Dec. 30 instead of Wednesday, Dec. 31, at the usual time and place.

Chair remarks closed the meeting with acknowledgement of Police Chief Sloan's presence and thanks for his service. With no further business, the board adjourned.

The board did not provide detailed vote tallies in the meeting transcript. No ordinances, contract awards, or appointments were recorded in this session.
