Logansport board approves $527,354.65 in claims, routine maintenance contracts and other administrative items
Summary
At its June 24 meeting, the Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety approved $527,354.65 in claims and payroll, accepted several routine maintenance contracts and an auction services agreement, and approved three curb/street-cut applications and departmental reports.
Mayor Jacob Amoss called the Logansport Board of Public Works and Safety to order at 3 p.m. Wednesday and the board approved a slate of routine administrative items, including $527,354.65 in claims and payroll.
The board voted to approve the claims package, which included payroll of $312,902.51; FTO payments of $24,748.46; June longevity payments of $70,354.56; a revolving fund claim of $5,000; and a TIF discretionary claim of $1,689.82. Board member Kelly Lehman and Mayor Jacob Amoss voted in favor; Levi Jones was absent.
Chief Heishman described a set of maintenance contracts the city brought forward to keep municipal facilities in compliance with state code. "Central Security Services... fixes or... repairs our door systems and camera system," he said, and he outlined contracts for HVAC and plumbing inspections, annual backflow testing of the sprinkler system, fire alarm and sprinkler maintenance, and generator maintenance and inspection. The board approved the agreements as outlined in a June 22 letter to the chief.
The board also accepted a contract with Terry Rogers to provide annual auction services for the city and approved three curb/street-cut applications: Prime Contracting at 218 East Columbia Street to repair a sanitary sewer line, NIPSCO at 1328 Liberty Street for an alley cut, and Miller Pipeline at 1002 Helm Street. All three applications were approved together on a single motion and roll call vote.
Mount Hope Cemetery's monthly report was accepted after Bob summarized cemetery operations: staff performed grounds and equipment maintenance, and recorded eight traditional burials, four cremations and one grave sold during the period. "We drove 274 miles to get this done and used 430 gallons of fuel," Bob said.
Randy presented the weekly code enforcement report; he said staff sent 17 trash letters last week and completed 79 inspections. The board voted to accept that report as well.
The approvals were procedural and largely uncontroversial; the meeting concluded after a brief period for board member comments and a motion to adjourn.
The board is scheduled to meet again according to its regular calendar.
