Staff explained the siren relocation is required because Fire Station 2 is being constructed and staff will move to the new station while the old station will be demolished, leaving the siren on property planned for sale. The board approved the funding allocation and the corresponding agreement with Braniff Communications to relocate the siren.

On Clark Field, staff said the storm sewer was designed by a previous engineer in the wrong location and work is needed to relocate the sewer into the easement. The board approved a funding allocation of $17,700 and a contract with NACE Engineering for design to move the line back into the easement; staff said the city will seek restitution from the previous engineer later.

Both funding allocations were approved after motions and votes recorded as \"aye.\" The board also directed staff to return related agreements signed by the controller and mayor and to proceed with the design work and procurement steps.","The Board approved Capital Improvement Board allocations to relocate a siren to new Fire Station 2 and to redesign Clark Field storm sewer; contracts and agreements were approved and staff will seek restitution from a prior engineer on one project.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6032512,"Board approves $480,250 CIB allocation and Lochmuller agreement for Downtown Hammond station \"kiss-and-ride\" design",82,378000,460000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5436208-454c3518808e2b83036f6e2fa7c269f5&start=378&end=460","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5436208-454c3518808e2b83036f6e2fa7c269f5/thumbnail_378000.jpg","/articles/6032512/Hammond-City/Lake-County/Indiana/Board-approves-480250-CIB-allocation-and-Lochmuller-agreement-for-Downtown-Hammond-station-kiss-and-ride-design","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6032512-4412e975125361a210c6a1140a149380/orig.mp4?Expires=1770911783&Signature=H21dRIlJTkdEXrYWd0oEoFE00awdAyD0~1hW6xlYG8KpubzLTQt~a3rfeAGSJ04TyZ0H-A9jgojosfW13moKihs-3H25bpvuq4mz9X-6bVJE27i7X1vZIzwJeS7Jz9TdkJktRQ~hDmRqy2oOWWPKnM5Q7jmpeHAWlMiw9q9bDxOSfaO4WLcVwTye-d3VJyABUqd2o44R-PuMMC6v077PdWo-DdPd29-Is5lerdaXX8P-n4Y387qFdpAMO3Lz26F-8lEBc2l5n8hwbPIUruWmbQvDRI~FrI7jTSHtdtNSqn4xPO2h9s-5N3trTkptovGT-ilM9VvWQzR69l5OEF7wiA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Hammond Board of Public Safety approved a $480,250 allocation from the city's Capital Improvement Board (CIB) and an agreement with Lochmuller Group to design a \"kiss-and-ride\" approach to the new Downtown Hammond Station.

During the meeting, a representative described the design work as reconstructing Russell Street from Oakley to the new station and extending the roadway north toward Fayette to create a circular drop-off and pick-up route for passengers. The project is a federal-aid project funded by the Northwestern Indiana Regional Planning Commission and is slated for construction in 2027–28, which requires environmental documentation and right-of-way and land-acquisition work as part of the design phase.

A representative from Lochmuller was present at the meeting; the board voted to approve both the funding allocation and the professional-services agreement. The board recorded the approval with members responding \"aye\" on the motion.

The quoted amounts read into the record were $53,028.32 from Milestone Contractors, $51,246.20 from J and J Newell Contractors, and $52,659.17 from H3 Contracting Concrete Incorporated.
