Avon council approves road‑work contracts, surplus vehicle and two ordinances; building‑fee changes to take effect after 90 days

At its June 1 meeting the Avon Town Council approved several routine contracts, a surplus‑vehicle resolution and two ordinances.

Public Works Director Steve Moore presented road‑maintenance bids: a crack‑sealing bid from Howard Paving for $71,009.98 and a preservative‑seal bid from RejuvTech for $196,520.04. "The bid that we got from Howard Paving was $71,009.98," Moore said, and he told the council the preservative‑seal price was lower per square yard than last year. Council members asked about contractor experience; Moore noted Howard completed the Costco roundabout early and under budget.

Both road contracts were awarded following motions and roll‑call votes.

Police Deputy Chief Steve Barton asked the council to declare a 2016 Ford Fusion (unmarked/pool fleet) surplus because it was frequently in the shop and other pool vehicles are available; the council approved the surplus resolution.

On land‑use and fees, the council gave final approval to Ordinance 2026‑07 establishing a municipal Riverwalk District for White Lick Creek, which sets a process for recommending alcohol permits to the Indiana Alcohol and Tobacco Commission for businesses within the district. The council also adopted Ordinance 2026‑08 to update building‑permit fees (the town had not adjusted them since 2019); those fee changes will not take effect for 90 days to allow the development community time to adjust.

All items on the consent and action agenda were approved by roll call during the meeting; where staff noted unique procurement constraints (a protected territory for the preservative product) the council accepted staff recommendations.

This item bundle reflects routine maintenance contracting, fleet management and land‑use regulation updates typical of a regular council meeting.
