10/26/26 Hamilton County Drainage Board Meeting

Hamilton County, Indiana Drainage Board meeting, October 26, 2026: The board approved contract amendments reducing amounts by $4,975 for the Anchorage Drain, $3,050 for an AF Ingramman Construction Services agreement, and $28,823.75 for the JS McCardi Drain. It also approved Change Order No. 2 for the Elwood Wilson Craig Hollerman Arm reconstruction, covering deeper pipe installation and a larger manhole due to field conditions; the change was to be funded through ARPA. Change Order No. 1 for the Emily Vestal Drain reconstruction, addressing unexpectedly significant sand and additional riprap-related work, was also approved, although no amount was stated. The Anchorage project was reported substantially complete, while the Emily Vestal project was on hold as staff evaluated options to manage sand-related costs. The board also approved drainage variances and a capital-asset disposal; those actions did not identify procurement spending.

The board directed staff to seek a court injunction over continued work at a site subject to a stop-work order, and discussed requiring a performance bond before fully releasing a development restriction tied to the Revas Carson Drain. Construction updates covered several ongoing projects and unresolved drainage and sediment issues at Saddle Creek. A brief transition to a Solid Waste Management District meeting included approval of prior minutes and preliminary discussion of 2027 paper shredding coordination with EMA and Noblesville High School; no vendor selection, award, or spending decision was reported.
