And I request the board's approval,\" Deal said.

A board member asked about entries labeled \"LPD case court order.\" Deal said he had no specifics on the individual cases but that those entries were court orders to distribute assets that had been seized in law-enforcement operations in the past. \"Those are, those are court orders to distribute, assets that have been seized in lease operations in the past,\" he said. The transcript does not provide details of the individual court orders.

Board members also asked about the Indiana Common School Fund after a line item appeared in the claims. A speaker explained that the Common School Fund is a state-level fund used to support school corporations that have very small assessed value and limited bond capacity; it can act similar to a general-obligation debt service mechanism for certain school funding needs. The transcript attributes part of this explanation to a board member and to others in the meeting; the claims were approved by voice vote.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","2025 July 15 Lafayette Board of Public Works and Safety","oneSentenceSummary","City Controller Jeremy Deal presented claims totaling $4,823,483.88 and requested the governing body's approval.","taxTitle","Lafayette City, Tippecanoe County, Indiana","taxId",5748,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6162815,"Legal staff present amendment to remove vacated radio operator position from employee alliance agreement",39,353000,392000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5437500-36e007fc7e65327476f2b0ad2f6700ea&start=353&end=392","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5437500-36e007fc7e65327476f2b0ad2f6700ea/thumbnail_353000.jpg","/articles/6162815/Lafayette-City/Tippecanoe-County/Indiana/Legal-staff-present-amendment-to-remove-vacated-radio-operator-position-from-employee-alliance-agreement","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6162815-7dffd32e7cca598ab5573cbb6e0c446b/orig.mp4?Expires=1771102060&Signature=hG2Fbro53Bv26bkjHTL5KCEi1d8vaZxjJhJfJprLABNwxBW3s7eOTLisjau~5Ixyl8WVRbgZUuLlhlJyjzodtVyd3rH-LrlfBPjR22~jn1nBtQzroEudgt8F4f9qG1FBNVxXuwL8nZtM155ucKMZ17O~K1L8j-0J3Qpt0p6yfNq-5Ut9hHtVVtDJcK47NgP3fTu4Rz52Wo8Xem7~84PYMGGeeDzdS~Hih4EioWLJmqC1u9xihVSv1rVGpqORsRXGSj8nhu7NCG~~Ox1r8cdIDHOP-qhTfYhZxSRBIyr5BIS2X29dArQByI9Bhx5mUlOLflSN1v8ch-oWX3~MMrjvFg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","A legal staff member presented Amendment No. 1 to the agreement with the City of Lafayette Employee Alliance to remove a radio operator position that had been treated as a cleared position when vacated. The legal presenter said the position \"has been vacated and so we are now cleaning that up to remove that position from the clear contract.\"

The presenter told the body this cleanup resulted from earlier bargaining when the current four-year agreement was negotiated. A board member asked whether the amendment must go to the city council; the record shows legal counsel confirmed that it does.

A motion to approve Amendment No. 1 was moved and seconded and carried by voice vote. The transcript records an affirmative vote; the minutes do not include mover/second names or a roll-call tally in the provided excerpt.

Grenard said the change order adds $18,520 to the project, bringing the total contract price to $149,038 and giving an overall change order percentage of 14.1%. \"We're recommending that the board approve this change order,\" he said.

The action matters to neighborhood safety and park access because board members discussed the project’s connection to nearby park improvements and traffic calming. A board member asked whether the road work was connected to park improvements within the subdivision; a member replied it was related and said midblock crosswalks there were elevated into speed tables to address vehicle speeds near the park.

The governing body moved and seconded the certificate of completion and voted to approve it.

The organizers requested a half-block closure for a celebration; parks staff agreed to bring picnic tables and the organizers said they arranged parking accommodations for neighbors. The governing body approved the Grow Local Block Party request by voice vote.

Nolan Wilhite, president of the Downtown Lafayette Business Owners Association, requested a road closure on Main Street from Fourth Street to Ninth Street for Destination Downtown on Friday, July 25. Wilhite said the event is a throwback-themed evening intended to showcase downtown businesses with live music and activities. The governing body approved that road-closure request by voice vote.

During his remarks McCammon also announced a separate downtown jazz and blues festival on Fifth Street between Maine and Columbia (Saturday, 5–11 p.m., $15 per adult), which he described as a different event.
