The Logansport City Board of Works and Public Safety voted June 10 to approve the city’s weekly claims package and a string of vendor contracts and permits, clearing work tied to demolition, septic service, parks programming and utility connections.
Board member Levi Jones called the meeting to order and the board approved the minutes of the June 3 meeting before taking up the claims package and contract agenda. Rob, a city staff member, described a demolition contract with Merit and Sons Excavating and Demolition for work at 2015 East Broadway; Rob said the city will retain the Market Street corner portion of the building and will not perform work on the riverbank. "This is a contract between the city and Merit and Sons for the demolition of the old SUS building," Rob said. The board approved the contract following a specialist inspection that staff said is scheduled for Friday.
The board also approved a Prime Contracting agreement for septic cleaning services (presented by Jan of Prime Contracting) and a seasonal "Yoga in the Park" contract with Empower Wellness for summer programming. In separate votes the board approved a batch of electrical business licenses for multiple applicants and authorized street-utility connections and curb/street cut work tied to utility projects.
Votes were recorded for several motions; when recorded, committee members Kelly Leman and Levi Jones voted "yes." The claims package was presented on the record with a stated total of approximately $495,926.87 and included payroll and TIFF line items as described during the meeting.
The approvals also covered temporary short-term street closures for community events, including an All Saints Parish mobile food pantry and the Logansport Great Banquet "Race for Grace," each described by staff as limited-duration closures posing no conflicts with other traffic operations.
What happens next: approved contracts will move to implementation by the listed vendors and relevant city departments; staff noted the demolition contractor must complete the work per contract specifications and the city will proceed after any scheduled inspections.
