Michigan City Board of Public Works & Safety June 15, 2026

The Michigan City Board of Public Works & Safety convened on June 15, 2026, addressing several procurement and contract matters. The board approved a contract modification with CA Harris for stump removal and debris hauling under a federal tree grant, noting the contractor would perform the work without a subcontractor. They also approved awarding a project to Reith and Riley pending receipt of an amended certificate of insurance. Additionally, the board approved a contract for the Braden Fisk Family Fun Day event and authorized a property sale process for a city-owned lot adjacent to a private residence, setting a minimum bid based on appraisal. Other procurement-related discussions included approval of claims and payroll dockets and coordination of city maintenance activities such as curb painting and tree pruning. The board also considered requests for street and parking closures for community events and approved a mobile food truck operator's request for an additional employee and picnic table setup. Several motions were passed unanimously, often contingent on receipt of proper insurance documentation or permissions from third parties, reflecting active management of city contracts, events, and property disposition.
