Hobart RDC approves grant increase, Maryville grant scope change, change order and payments; register of claims cleared
Summary
At its March 16 meeting the Hobart Redevelopment Commission approved raising a workforce grant from $30,000 to $50,000 for 2027, accepted a scope revision for a Maryville school construction-trades grant, approved Change Order No. 9 for a lighting project and a roundabout payment application, and authorized the register of claims and bond requisitions.
The Hobart Redevelopment Commission approved multiple routine and project-specific actions during its March 16 meeting, including a workforce grant increase, a school grant scope change, a construction change order and several payments and requisitions.
Grant funding increase: Commissioners voted to increase the education and workforce training grant available for the 2027 cycle from $30,000 to $50,000. The motion was made, seconded and approved by voice vote; the transcript records the voice approval but not a roll-call tally.
Maryville grant scope revision: Staff presented a scope revision for a previously approved Maryville construction-trades project. Kate, the commission’s new developer, read a letter from Terrell Taylor, Maryville High School CTE instructor, describing a change from installing eight outdoor food-pantry boxes to building eight indoor multipurpose distribution cabinets (one per school). The cabinet design, staff said, will protect donations from winter weather and vandalism and add storage for clothing and personal-hygiene items. The commission approved the revised application.
Change Order No. 9: A presenter described Change Order No. 9 for the Colorado tracking/lighting project as a $6,688.02 cost tied to directional boring to reach a junction box after a Nipsco pole relocation. The presenter said the project remained about $64,000 under budget, so approval would not create an overage. Commissioners approved the change order by voice vote.
Roundabout payment: The commission approved a payment application of $253,350 related to roundabout improvements and landscaping. Staff said most work is complete with minor outstanding items.
Register of claims and bond requisitions: Commissioners approved a register of claims and invoices totaling about $280,409.46, including VFNS supplemental items, engineering work and an ALTA survey associated with Greenwood Center property purchase activity. The commission also approved individual bond requisitions (e.g., requisitions 76 and 77) as presented.
All motions recorded in the meeting were approved by voice vote; the transcript does not record individual roll-call votes or detailed vote tallies. Where staff provided dollar amounts, the commission recorded those amounts as presented and approved the corresponding motions.
