At the City of Gary Board of Work meeting on October 21, 2026, members approved claims payable of $269,821.84 and ratified previously paid claims of $11,817.10. The board approved a contract with Great Lakes Electrical Maintenance for security cameras at the closed Gary Landfill, not to exceed $6,300; discussion included a question about whether multiple quotes had been solicited. It also approved BT Video Systems LLC’s video-surveillance installation at the golf clubhouse on 31st Jefferson Street, with a stated cap of $19,454 (the transcript also mentions $19,200), and Office Interiors’ furniture purchase and installation for the city’s move from the Hudson building, not to exceed $100,941.72. The latter approvals received 4–0 votes.

The board tabled amendments to contracts with LGS Plumbing and Midwestern Electric Company after a member raised questions about the funds and said a hold had been requested. The LGS amendment would have set a new not-to-exceed amount of $59,231.12; no approval was recorded. The board also approved renewals for several handicap-parking signs and a settlement resolution, neither of which was a procurement award.
