The Muncie Board of Public Works and Safety on June 25 approved the city’s claims as presented by City Controller Craig Wright; the board recorded one large payable related to Columbus Avenue reconstruction that staff said would be reimbursed under a Ready 1 grant.

Wright told the board: “I sent out the claims actually yesterday morning, just a couple things to point out, we had 3 claims for to IMI for surface materials for the streets, street pavings and, on page 11 we had a claim for $339,583.40. That was for Columbus Avenue reconstruction that's from the Ready 1 grant which we're gonna get reimbursed for and our usual health care claims and utilities.”

During the meeting a motion to approve the claims was made and the board approved by voice vote. The meeting transcript records the motion language as approving the claims; no roll-call vote counts were provided in the record.

The controller and board did not provide a full itemized breakdown of every claim in the meeting remarks; officials said claims were circulated to board members before the meeting. The transcript does not specify the exact final total beyond the motion language where an amount was stated on the record.
