6/25/2026 Board of Public Works and Safety

The Seymour Board of Public Works and Safety held a meeting on June 25, 2026, where several procurement and contract-related matters were addressed. The board approved multiple event-related requests for street and lot closures, including those for the Spud Bank and Chick-fil-A events, the Cruising with the Sun car show, the Kids Fall Safety Fest, and the Jackson County Watermelon Festival. They also approved a service agreement renewal with Jackson County and signed a contract for preliminary engineering on phases one and five of O'Brien Street, negotiated at $820,285 with an additional $200,000 approved through INDOT. The board approved change orders five and six related to the transfer station project, which resulted in the project being under budget, and accepted the substantial completion document for the project. Updates were provided on road maintenance and drainage projects, including seal coating and paving plans. Additionally, five sewer adjustment credits were approved, and new itinerant merchant and food truck licenses were granted, pending fire department approval for the latter. The meeting concluded with recognition of long-serving city employees. Overall, the meeting focused on contract approvals, budget management, event permitting, and infrastructure maintenance activities.
