Board of Public Works - 11-10-2026

The City of Anderson Board of Public Works meeting on November 10, 2026, approved the 2027 holiday schedule and several spending-related items. The board approved Change Order No. 2 for Phase I work involving temporary asphalt patching of Madison Avenue road cuts, for $7,717.36; the transcript inconsistently identifies the contract as B or D. It also approved Change Order No. 3, though its scope and cost are not captured, and Change Order No. 4 for an eight-business-day extension after flooding halted work, with no associated cost. Members approved a U.S. Geological Survey joint funding agreement for stream-flow gauge stations along the White River; the city’s share is $17,200 for October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027. Claims were also approved, including $529,588.62 for Civil City and $147,675.30 for Light and Power; the Water Department amount is garbled in the transcript.

The board considered a replat merging lots 9–11 at the Payless Third Street Center to support a proposed Walmart neighborhood market, pharmacy, and gas station. Discussion focused on required sidewalks and a possible future waiver; the plans were described as showing five-foot sidewalks, and any waiver would go to the Board of Zoning Appeals. The transcript does not capture a final vote on the replat. No new solicitation or vendor selection was identified.
