The Lafayette board approved Amendment No. 1 to the 2025–26 CDBG contract with Lafayette Urban Ministries to move $8,750 from the shelter director salary line to shelter security staff wages; the total contract amount remains unchanged.
City staff introduced the amendment and a motion to approve it was moved and seconded; the board voted 'aye' to adopt the reallocation. Michael Sennett (economic development) was named as the presenter for the amendment during the item introduction.
On a separate agenda item the board opened three bids for a professional court concrete project: Case Construction of Edinburgh, Indiana, bid $100,123; Promise Land Construction Landscaping Design bid $94,434; and Milestone bid $146,618. The board moved to take the bids under advisement and voted in favor.
Jeremy Deal, the city controller, reported claims totaling $598,417.84 and asked for approval. A member noted a file access issue and requested follow-up; the board moved, seconded and approved the claims as presented subject to those questions being answered.
