Tipton City Council approved encumbrances for 2025–2026 totaling $502,134.49 and approved claims #181289–181431 totaling $5,635,599.73. The meeting also included project updates on the Public Safety Building, a baseball project awaiting a DNR permit, sidewalk and utility coordination at Main and Dearborn, and expected fleet savings.

Speaker 4 moved to approve encumbrances from 2025 to 2026 "in total of $502,134.49," and Speaker 3 confirmed the motion passed by voice vote. Later, Speaker 2 moved approval of claims #181289–181431 in the amount of $5,635,599.73; the motion passed with one abstention recorded.

On construction, Speaker 4 told council the Board of Works approved two change orders for the Public Safety Building: adding speakers so the fire department can hear alarm calls throughout the building ("This is not for music," Speaker 4 said) and a fascia extension costing roughly $3,900 to be paid from contingency and the firefighters' budget. Additional potential change orders for gutters and a floor drain were noted.

Speaker 3 reported the baseball project's DNR permit appears to be at step 18 of 20 and has been with DNR for 56 days; bids were received to establish a guaranteed maximum price and that number may be shared at the next meeting. The Public Safety Building work—roof and siding at apparatus bays, window replacement, and front PD reconstruction—was ongoing with estimated completion in April, weather permitting.

Speaker 3 also described a sidewalk safety report at Main and Dearborn that prompted Dylan Dietrich (municipal services) to scope repairs; coordination with utilities enabled underground infrastructure improvements and one property owner, Skip Gibbs, upgraded infrastructure while the area was excavated. On fleet management, Speaker 3 said coordinated procurement work led by Tammy should produce estimated 2026 cost savings between $5,000 and $15,000; two vehicles (a fire replacement truck and a street dump truck) remain pending delivery and upfit.

No financial details beyond the encumbrance and claims totals were specified in the meeting record.
