June 9, 2026 Town of Schererville Town Council Meeting

The Town of Schererville held its Town Council meeting on June 9, 2026, which included multiple board sessions such as the Water Board, Storm Water Board, Redevelopment Commission, and Utility Board. A key procurement-related discussion involved approving a partnership agreement with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for the Anna Water Tower structural repair and recoating project. The project is supported by a grant of up to $1 million from USACE, with the town responsible for an estimated $325,000 to $425,000 share. The council unanimously approved this agreement. Additionally, the council discussed the progress on various public works projects, including concrete work and stormwater ditch excavation. They also reviewed updates on the fire station bid package and financing options, which are still in progress. The council approved amendments to the 2026 salary ordinance to reflect updated compensation sources and roles, and adopted changes to the town personnel policy including new leave provisions. A resolution supporting locked-out United Steel Workers at the British Petroleum Whiting Refinery was passed 4-1, though some members expressed concerns about the appropriateness of the council taking a position. The council also approved several donations totaling over $8,000 to various town funds and organizations. No new contracts or bid awards beyond the USACE partnership were reported during the meeting.
