Michiana Shores Town Council October 13, 2026

At the October 13, 2026 Michiana Shores Town Council meeting, members approved the town’s proposed FY2027 budget; no dollar amount was stated. Procurement and infrastructure items included a Park Board report that it had approved a contract with John’s Tree Service to remove a large tree west of Oakdale. The board is also considering how to handle future park mowing and maintenance—bringing the work in-house, issuing an RFP, or continuing with Serviscape. The council discussed a proposed Global Engineering task order, No. 26003.02, under its 2026 agreement for a PAZA report needed to support a Community Crossings Matching Grant (CCMG) application. The task order needed to be signed three weeks before the December 1 deadline; the transcript does not record an approval vote.

The police chief recommended renewing the police-services contract and said he would advocate to Long Beach for holding current pricing for three years, but the council took no vote on renewal. The town also plans to move its website hosting to the Indiana Office of Technology’s small-municipality program, with a transition expected around February or March, and is considering a separate Google Workspace rollout. On zoning, the council approved Ordinance 2026-03 on first reading by a 4–1 vote; it would amend permitted uses in the business district to include office uses and riding stables. The transcript does not identify a contract award or spending amount for the other items discussed.
