The City of Hammond, Indiana Board of Works meeting on November 5, 2026, approved the October 29 minutes and took no bid openings. The Board approved police personnel actions, including accepting a termination request and authorizing promotions for Officer John Sarlia to sergeant and Officer Elias Guido to corporal, and approved disposal of obsolete police vehicles. It referred a request for speed bumps on Northcott Avenue to the City Engineer, approved the 2026 Hammond Holiday Parade, and approved submitted right-of-way permits, including work involving Comcast utility lines. No contract awards, bids, or city purchasing expenditures were identified.
