The Chesterton Town
Council will meet at 7 p.m. Monday at the town hall.
At that meeting,
Street Commissioner John Schnadenberg could announce his list of 2015 paving
projects.
It’s also possible
that the council will award the contract for a new fire engine. Seven bids
were received, which ranged from $465,803 to $584,961 for a new model. The
complexity of the bid packages, however, could mean that Fire Chief John
Jarka and Town Attorney Chuck Lukmann have not yet finished reviewing them.
Also on the agenda:
a proposed annexation agreement with Liberty Township property owner Richard
Blount, who in January asked the council to annex 4.7 acres on the south
side of 1100N just west of Dogwood Park. There are six buildable lots on the
acreage, in addition to one existing home.
Other items of
business:
* The annual
license agreement with the operator of the season vegetable market in the
municipal parking lot across the street from the town hall.
* A proposed
contract with the Grossbauer Group to provide IT services to the town.
* The annual fire
protection agreement with the Westchester Board.
* Second reading on
an ordinance codifying a new Personnel Policy Handbook.
* A resolution
under which the town would implement a mercury-free purchasing policy.
* And some
housekeeping amendments to the town’s Zoning and Subdivision Control
Ordinance.
Redevelopment
Commission
Earlier in the
evening, at 6:30 p.m., the Redevelopment Commission will hold its regular
monthly meeting.
The commission
could award at that meeting the contract for the Downtown sidewalk project,
under which the sidewalk on the north side of Broadway from South Calumet
Road to the parking lot of the Duneland Chamber of Commerce will be
replaced.
Schnadenberg could
also announce his 2015 TIF projects as well.
