The Board of Public Works and Safety in Crown Point City on May 20 approved several financial disbursements, contracts and personnel actions as part of a routine agenda that included recognition of a park award and an employee lifesaving response.
The board authorized two State Revolving Fund (SRF) disbursements presented by public works staff: SRF disbursement number 30 for water in the amount of $61,856.91 (with a $3,255.63 retainage payment) and SRF disbursement number 10 for sewer in the amount of $1,406,239.08 (with a $74,012.58 retainage payment). Staff said contractors have been notified and pre‑construction meetings are scheduled for early June.
In other fiscal business the board accepted a performance bond for the Greens Board subdivision in the amount of $748,884.40 and approved a three‑year generator maintenance agreement with Interstate Power Systems for the city’s treatment plant generators.
The board also approved a deed transfer and lien release for property at 400 East North Street, directing the legal department to prepare the property for sale under Indiana code to recoup demolition funds. Staff presented a list of surplus assets for disposition (most to be recycled); hard drives on any computer equipment have been removed and wiped prior to disposal.
Several event and service contracts were approved: a $1,600 agreement to bring the Jesse White Tumblers to the Fourth of July parade; a renewal/contract with an events promoter (listed as St. Charles Department/Ready to Live) to produce concerts at Central Park; and a partnership agreement with Get Loud Entertainment for a July 11 concert with a 50/50 split of net security revenue. The board also reviewed a minor update to 2026 PACE fees and approved forwarding the fee schedule to city council in June.
All actions on fiscal and contract items were moved, seconded and passed on voice votes recorded as "Aye." Where recorded, legal review or staff recommendations were noted before votes.
The board closed the meeting after approving the agenda items and scheduling its next regular meeting for June 3 at 11:00 a.m.
