Corydon council reviews utility figures, sewer lining plans, skate‑park progress and several administrative approvals
Summary
At the Corydon Town Council meeting staff presented monthly utility and maintenance reports (25,662,000 gallons pumped; sewer-videoing and planned lining), skate‑park construction updates, code‑enforcement progress and a set of routine approvals including accepting an insurance total‑loss offer and directing staff to adjust the workman’s‑comp budget.
The Corydon Town Council received routine operational and project updates and approved several administrative items during its meeting.
In the manager’s monthly report staff said the town pumped about 25,662,000 gallons of water during the reporting period and noted a reported peak day on July 7 (transcript: "a million36"); wastewater treatment totals included roughly 18 million gallons processed at the old plant and about 8.6 million at the new plant. The utility press removed 27.6 tons of sludge from the old plant and staff moved the press back to the new plant. Billing and service metrics cited included 2,575 total customers, 27 meter disconnects on Aug. 6 and billed dollars reported as $313,346.
Manager also updated the council on infrastructure projects: contractors began videoing sewer lines in neighborhoods bounded by East Walnut, East Chestnut, College Avenue and New Albany to support a planned sewer‑lining phase; Midwestern will inspect videos and order liners based on those findings. The skate‑park project is progressing, with electrical conduits and light bases installed and sidewalks poured; curbing and parking‑area work are next.
On code enforcement the manager reviewed progress on several problem properties (119 and 829 Capitol Blvd., 112 Beaver St., 314 West Poplar, among others) and asked for follow‑up actions on addresses that had not complied with prior notices.
The council approved multiple routine items: acceptance of the insurer’s total‑loss offer on a damaged vehicle (transcript records the offer as a little over $7,000 and a council consensus to accept), authorization to proceed with a workman’s‑comp renewal that raised the premium to $53,046 for the year and direction for staff to place the increase in the budget, and a procedural vote to suspend the rules and move forward on a draft disposal policy/ordinance for further consideration.
Other business: staff announced downtown events (Harvest Stroll, Glasstoberfest and seasonal parades), vendor deadlines, and facade‑grant reporting and grant‑seeking plans (Harrison County Community Foundation, Lily Foundation, T‑Mobile among others). The council also agreed to disable public comments on the town Facebook page as a uniform communications policy and approved a request to allow a Corydon High School junior to job‑shadow the maintenance department for four hours during a hydrant replacement.
With no further business the president moved to adjourn the meeting.
