Board of Public Works: May 9, 2024

The City of Lawrence Indiana Board of Public Works meeting on May 9, 2024, included approval of the previous meeting minutes and a resolution to dispose of a surplus 1985 Chevy Blazer from the police department by donation. The board also discussed and approved the acceptance of a Community Crossings Matching Grant from the Indiana Department of Transportation, which will fund several road paving projects across various subdivisions in the city. Additionally, a citizen inquired about the city's recycling program, specifically the percentage of recyclables diverted from landfills and the revenue generated from recyclables. City staff explained that while the city tracks recycling data annually, the revenue from recyclables goes to the waste hauler, not the city. The meeting concluded with acknowledgments of local council members in attendance and no further citizen comments.
