- I called to order this regular meeting of the Board of Public Works this Tuesday, December 2nd of 2025.
- First, on the agenda, we have messages from board members. Do we have any messages from the board? I'd
- just like to wish our fearless leader, Adam Wason, a very happy birthday today. Thank you. You're lucky
- I'm not much of a singer, or I'd break out into song. Might not be quite the voicemail. I won't make
- you all listen to it.
- Next we have appeals under appeals. We have noise appeal for 1015 West Cottage Grove Avenue Good evening
- and adina casamanian from city of Bloomington legal department for BPD This appeal is in regards to
- a noise citation that was issued on October 31st 2025 and
- Shortly before midnight, Officer Dunn was dispatched to an area based on an initial weapons call because
- of possible gunshots near the area of Diamond and Cottage Grove. Officer Dunn was in the area. He began
- walking down Cottage Grove, at which point he encountered people walking, and he then encountered a
- party where he could hear and see party going on.
- Other officers went to went inside where the party was located to clear the party and officer done Had
- a chance to speak with the appellant Outside the party was located at 1015 West Cottage Grove Bloomington,
- Indiana for 7404 At this point noise citation for 0481 was issued to a Lee Gomez the appellant and
- We believe that the Appeal should be upheld under Bloomington municipal code fourteen point oh nine
- point zero one zero It states that it's declared to be a public policy of the city to prohibit unreasonable
- unnecessary excessive and offensive noise from all sources
- Subject to its police power Above certain level noise is detrimental to the health welfare safety comfort
- and repose of the citizens Citizenry and in the public interest shall be systematically regulated It's
- Under 14.09030, it's additionally unlawful for any person to cause or make unreasonable noise or to
- allow any unreasonable noise to be caused or made in any real or personal property occupied or controlled
- by that person. Under our facts here, in the written appeal, Mrs. Gomez stated, I'm currently on crutches
- and I have been for about a month due to a broken foot, which made it extremely difficult for me to
- move around my own house and manage the
- Situation mrs. Gomez admitted to and allowed unreasonable noise to occur on her property in violation
- of Bloomington municipal code fourteen point oh nine point oh three oh by failing to control the persons
- that were on her property and inside her home as stated in the beginning that Officers had to go in
- and clear the party while officer done himself was talking with her and
- so the citation was issued to miss Gomez and She was verified by officer done to be the property to
- be the occupant at the property And so we hope that the city Would and we're asking the staff recommendation
- that BPD that Board of Public Works upholds this citation and
- Because the noise that was created on the property did not fall with any enumerated exemption under
- the Bloomington municipal code section fourteen point oh nine zero four zero Do you have any questions
- for me, thank you I think we'll hold questions. We can hear from the appellant now. Thank you. Thanks
- And if you'll just state your name for our record Good evening, everyone. My name is Ailey Gomez
- I wanted to thank you all for taking the time to listen to me today First and foremost, I will say that
- I'm extremely sorry for everything that happened and I wouldn't be standing here if I believe that The
- situation was out of if I didn't believe that the situation was out of hand As stated previously on
- October 31st, I had a party with my friends and It got out of control
- There was a lot of people there that I didn't invite which I stated to the officer when he arrived The
- initial complaint wasn't really because of the noise that was occurring in the party despite there being
- a lot of people that I didn't invite It was because like they say there was gunshots. I had no idea
- that there was anything occurring like that. I didn't know that I Didn't even know that that had happened
- When the officer arrived I was actively trying to escort people out of the house but as I
- They stated previously I was in crutches. So it was kind of hard for me to get these people out of my
- house There was so many people in the house that I couldn't even walk So I had to get some of my friends
- the ones that I knew to help me kind of get out And I was already at the door when the officer arrived
- And like I said, it was just very hard when the officers arrived I invited them inside of the house
- that they could help get everyone out because like I said, I didn't invite 90% of those people
- I was surprised to have so many people there. But the crutches incident had occurred two weeks prior
- to the party. That was the reason why we had it there. It wasn't intended to be a noisy party. It was
- just meant to have friends over and just have a good time. So with that, I mean, I'm still suffering,
- recovering from the injury. It was obviously my fault because it was in my property. I shouldn't have
- allowed that many people to get in.
- But at the same time, it's hard for one person to escort like over 50 people out of one small house.
- I know that these situations are very hard to kind of go against what has already been decided because
- there's obviously rules and regulations that one must follow as a citizen, which I completely agree
- to. But in my defense, it's kind of hard for me to control so many people at once, especially having such
- big, you know, disability, I would say. So like I said, in terms of the gunshots, I have no idea who
- did that. I would never condone anything like that. I think that's a disruption to not only myself,
- but my neighbors, and I don't think that that's something okay to do. I wasn't even aware until the
- officer came and let me know that that was going on. In terms of the noise, the party wasn't really
- what caused the
- Issue was more like I said the gunshots But again, I didn't invite those people and it was really hard
- for me to control the situation But thank you all for listening to me today Thank you All right questions
- from the board I want to mind hearing from the officer
- My name is officer Connor Dunn and I'm a police officer with the Bloomington Police Department The only
- question I really have for you is The citations tonight I just want to clarify is about excessive noise
- We are not making any kind of ruling on any kind of facts in relationship to gunfire. Is that correct? I
- The reason for my citation is because of the unreasonable music noise that I heard emanating from the
- address on the citation That would disturb someone of normal temperance in that area, which was a residential
- area There was an active party going on when I arrived and I heard the music from that and in general
- Over not in general. Can you can you estimate how far away you were from the property when you first
- heard the noise? I
- I know that I heard the loud noise from at least the sidewalk or public area I would have to Guess a
- bit if I were to say more than that, however Thank you, thank you All right, is there a motion on this item
- Move that we deny the noise appeal at 1015 West Cottage Grove Avenue Second, all right. We have a motion
- in a second. I will call the roll Caron. I roach I Cox Deckard I motion passes I just like to add however
- that I'm really impressed by you coming to speak your voice and You have a lot of maturity for coming
- to the meeting to share your side of the story I really appreciate you showing up and doing that and
- I think you may have been in
- unfortunate situation where you bit off more than you can chew so to say and There were there are obviously
- rules and policies that need to be filed But I would really commend you for coming and speaking so clearly
- with us. Thanks I Was gonna say something similar. So, thank you. Thank you to the officer. Thank you. I

- going to be starting on that one Happy to answer any questions on this All right any questions from
- the board on this item?
- I'm sorry. Let me clarify the what they're the three weeks is to put up signage prior to when it starts
- So the residents in the area know when it when it's coming So that's the three week, but this will be
- March 2nd through June 16th for the lane shift Any public comments on this item
- None, is there a motion? I move that we approve lane and sidewalk closure for street cut at Arlington
- multifamily development Second I will call the roll Koran. I roach. Hi Cox Deckard. I motion passes
- Next we have lane and sidewalk closure on Indiana Avenue for Duke Energy Hello Zach Bell engineering
- Duke Energy is requesting three weeks of single lane and sidewalk closures on Indiana Avenue traveling
- north from East Cottage Grove to East 13th Street. This request is to accommodate the installation of
- new light poles and LEDs in multiple locations along Indiana Avenue. The traffic control would be in
- place from January 24th to February 12th, 2026. Questions from the board on this item.
- The street is a one-way street. It's all right Where am I to a certain point to a certain point? Yes,
- right? Yeah, I could I'd have to look to tell you the exact details on it, but I know that it changes
- so So the the lanes Will stop two-way traffic here. It's all right. Okay. Thank you. Yeah, it would
- be it would be flaggers if it was two ways
- It's one way it would just be a lane restriction with the merger Indiana goes back to two-way there
- and so right this is north of there up at Cottage Grove towards 13th under the railroad Underpass there.
- So They'll be flagging in that kind of one-lane configuration, right? Yes. Yes, they submitted an MOT
- and it's on file in EPL a Standard application is what they submitted. Thank you
- Is this work weather dependent at all the installing the light poles? I'm just wondering I would say
- that it could be affected by it But I wouldn't say it's as weather dependent as maybe like sidewalk
- work or something. Okay, but there could be a little bit of movement on the dates Yes, I would anticipate
- that would be possible. Okay. Thanks And I'll just say when Duke does these on streets like this they're
- gonna use a full traffic management they have they have a pretty robust traffic management systems that
- they put out there so
- And in that same line, I'm assuming that they're doing most of this work during the day and not in the
- evening that the plan is just regular working hours just thinking about athletics traffic and the ways
- that those patterns
- Might be affected but it sounds like there probably won't be many conflicts with that because of daytime
- work hours not weekend, right? Yeah at the most it would be ten hours in a day They would generally
- start at around seven. So Looking wrapping up at five at the latest I think the only real athletic impacts
- would be back about home basketball, right? So we can just heads up on that was brought up at the previous
- meeting and I've made a
- contact And so the sidewalk would be open during those times that are not working no, no this sidewalk
- closure would be So this is a request for the sidewalk closures also so they would be Like if the light
- pole was there or the electric pole was there they would do a short duration Closure in that area and
- set up a detour Okay, so they're only having to close the
- Sidewalk when they're actually actively in that space. Yeah, they are not taking out sidewalk panels
- or anything like that This would just be to divert people while they're working, you know over the sidewalk
- or like directly adjacent to it that's good because that's the other time when we'll see a lot of traffic
- is just Yes pedestrians heading to the athletic complex All right any other questions on this item Any
- public comments on this item
- None on zoom Seeing none. Is there a motion? I move that we approve lane and sidewalk closure on Indiana
- Avenue for Duke Energy Second, I will call the roll crown. I roach. I Cox Deckard. I motion passes Next

- I have this listed as take on and staff report. I just want to clarify that that there it's
- like a Subcontractor relationship. So that was my fault. I did not do that correctly So just take on
- is requesting a one week sidewalk closure at 111 8 North Woodburn Avenue for sidewalk removal and replacement
- Work is weather dependent and will occur during the next good weather window for concrete work
- on this item It's just a matter of process are we good still Holding motion with service solutions rather
- than changing it to take on what we'll do is we can stay in the minutes to amend the contract Eric amend

- five Which I think it's depicted on page 139 of the packet It I couldn't quite tell is it up against
- a multi-use path it like sits between a wall and a
- I think it's probably a multi-use which I'm sorry. It's page 139 on the packet. It's East Rogers Road
- and winding brook. There's a pad that's already there right next to the wall. And so it'll be placed
- right there on the pad that's already existing. So it won't block the sidewalk or anything. Yeah I was
- just making sure that that was a walking path that's right there. That's depicted in the
- Image Yes, it sits between the truck and the pad Yeah, that's the yes, that's the path the multi-use
- path that's the new multi-use path the retaining wall that was built rebuilt I think as part of the
- project that put the
- multi-use path in Two years ago or so And so this will sit off behind Would be to the north of that
- path exactly. Yeah Before you kind of go down the hill, right? Okay. Yeah, great. I just wanted to confirm

- And there's specific information on which type we'll be replacing those with. And then in the Walnut
- Street garage it's going to be 32 cameras. This is a total cost for both garages at one hundred one

- included as well Questions from the board on this item
- This is more out of curiosity than anything else does this Software does it communicate directly with
- the card readers in the garage or is there some sort? This is just for our monthly customers. So it's
- not the same system that's going to be processed at the Pay stations. It's this is slightly different
- Monthly Parkers have a magnetic card. Yes, does it does it talk directly to that? System that manages
- the actual subscriptions to the car. Yes that those will still interact the same way there shouldn't
- be any hiccups with the System updating that your current and can use the garage etc. Yeah and
- Now I see what you're asking Thank you. I Mentioned or I asked Jess in the work session yesterday What
- this was replacing if you could just speak to that so it's in the notes for the yes We've been doing
- this more manually lately with the square type payment processing. This would be a little bit more automated
- something that we can be a little more efficient with we it was probably a year or so we had to make
- a go we had to make a switch over to the square for some
- I can't remember the exact reason that they had at that time. But so this will be something that replaces
- that great. Thank you Any public comments on this None on zoom Seeing none. Is there a motion? I move

- contract with ENB paving for South Walnut Street paving project
- Yes, uh adam waste again, uh, so we're awarding several bids here. This is for a south walnut street
- paving project. Um, this will be um from South walnut to east grimes lane and then we are also doing
- a couple of the offshoots there, um west dodd street from bridge to walnut street and east college avenue
- from bridge to walnut street
- If you wonder there is an East College Avenue that's kind of behind that old brick building at hillside
- in college It's it's a section. I never really knew about That it was actually part of college.
- But anyway, so we had bids we opened up the other day on November 17th and EMB paving was determined
- to be the lowest bidder with the amount of one hundred eighty six thousand seven hundred and fifty dollars
- I'll also just note we're gonna get some new paving data in but
- Over the last couple paving seasons, I think we'll have some data to show that they've been some of
- the best paving seasons we've had on record in some time. There's a couple different reasons for that
- with getting some outside funding, some one time funding. But some of those roadway investments are
- really starting to pay off and we're hopefully going to see that in the ratings that we're going to
- get back here soon. So all good stuff in terms of updating the transportation network. Any questions?
- Any questions from the board? Any public comments on this item? None on zoom Seeing none. Is there a
- motion? I move that we approve the contract with ENB paving for the South Walnut Street paving project
- Second, I will call the roll Caron. I roach I Cox Deckard I motion passes
- Next we have contract with the NB paving for the South Henderson Street paving project. Yep So this
- is again another Street Division paving project from South Henderson on South Henderson Street from
- East third all the way down to hillside so a large section of Henderson there through the Bryan Park
- neighborhood and up towards campus
- Bids came in on the 17th of November again and EMB was again determined to be the lowest bidder at 193
- thousand two hundred and ninety dollars Thank you questions from the board on this So this stretch includes
- the it seems like it's still relatively new but maybe it's been there for a while the reconfiguration
- of the bike and
- Lane between second and third Yes, yeah, I'll get just new pavement. Okay, so it'll be Maintaining the
- same structure. It just gets a new layer Yeah, so whenever we're just doing a basic paving project The
- standard is that you would upgrade any ADA ramps that don't meet current standards, but otherwise for
- this it's just basic pavement maintenance we're not getting into the any side like side path sidewalk
- big improvements like that this is just pavement and
- Any other questions Any public comments on this item? None on zoom Seeing none is there a motion I move
- that we approve the contract with ENB paving for the South Henderson Henderson Street paving project
- Second. All right. I will call the roll Caron. I roach. I Cox Deckard. I motion passes
- Next we have contracted the in be paving for downtown alley renovation project. Yes, so in our continued
- efforts to upgrade and
- All of our downtown alleys that have needed it this project Will be milling and resurfacing several
- areas of downtown alleys There are some curb ramp modifications as well as one area with some guardrail
- in some in downtown alley So the locations most of these you would not really know unless you've delivered
- pizzas in town but they are in the area mostly between college and walnut and
- 7th to 11th, so there's different sections that have been upgraded over time by either private development
- or other projects and so this is going to be I'll just list them out, but it's the North South alley
- 10th Street to the half a block south of 11th so
- Back in the day, behind the old Mad Mushroom Pizza location, as you would go up the hill there, there's
- a section that needs to be improved. We have... I want this entire list to be based on previous locations.
- Yes, yes, we can do that. Yes, the historical restaurant that used to be there for each of these. So
- we'll be behind Mars and Jake's and the old Atlas Bar. No, Mars, Jake's, what else was it there? Anyway,
- I won't humor just myself here. I'll just tell you where we're going. East-West Alley's.
- the on college from 8th to 9th and then the north-south alley half block from 7th to 8th so Kind of
- they're behind Kilroy's and Taco Bell in that area So EMB again was the low pay low bid on this project
- at three hundred and eleven thousand five hundred and
- three hundred eleven thousand five hundred seventy five dollars Milestone also put in a bid in the amount
- of three hundred and eighty three thousand forty four dollars So asking that we award this to EMD paving
- to improve downtown alleys Thank you questions from the board on this item Any public comments on this
- item? Seeing none is there a motion?
- I move that we approve the contract with EMB paving for the downtown alley renovation project Second,
- all right. I'll call the roll chrome. I roach. Hi Cox Deckard. I motion passes
- Next we have contract with ENB paving for Kirkwood brick paver project. Yes, Adam Wason again so this
- is a project to Replace broken brick pavers on East Kirkwood Avenue from North Indiana Avenue to North
- Walnut Street We opened bids and on November 17th again, and the only bitter was ENB paving and the
- amount of four hundred ninety one thousand six hundred dollars So just some background here the original
- brick pavers on Kirkwood are circa about
- 1998 with the big dig projects and then some developments over time have Had to take them out put them
- back in etc, but it's the Kirkwood Avenue sections that Originally this year we were budgeting just
- to do full replacements from Indiana to done and then are on the library block with some traditional
- concrete sidewalk there
- We didn't that contract didn't work out with the low bidder on that and we've started to rethink, you
- know What's the best way to truly get the most impact for the whole corridor? There's quite a few different
- trip hazards related to tree roots You know, this is obviously one of the
- I don't know if there's a heavier pedestrian area in the city on a regular basis. So we decided we would
- go for a maintenance project that would serve the whole corridor from Indiana to walnut removing all
- the trip hazards that currently exist and
- We expect that to be at least probably five, but we're hoping a full ten year at least investment on
- those pavers To keep Kirkwood in good shape while we kind of really take the time with the community
- to think about the whole future of Kirkwood and everything else So this is gonna be a good project for
- pedestrian safety downtown and again asking you approve it in the amount of four hundred and ninety
- one thousand six hundred dollars to ENB paving Thank you questions from the board on this item
- You may not know the answer to this but do you know if the plan would be to do a block at a time? I
- Both the north and south sidewalks or do the entire north sidewalk all along the corridor and then come
- back and do the entire south sidewalk They're definitely gonna stage and work with the property owners
- on timing and things like that But it's not necessarily that they're gonna do a whole like There are
- some areas that they're not gonna really do much any work at all. There's no hazards It's in good shape
- what we've really what we did was go block by block and identify areas that we
- Excuse me new needed a trip hazard removed. So It's not necessarily That they'll be doing big sections
- on each side of the road the other thing we would make sure is that Anytime they're working on the south
- side of the street in a block that they're not working on the north side of the street for pedestrian
- access So if they have to close a section, we're gonna need to detour them somewhere. So we'll
- be coordination on this one will be quite quite busy and
- We'll make sure we work with all those property owners. Thank you I remember this project coming before
- us when we Had bids for just a change in the surface But I don't remember Was it a price issue like
- it exceeded or was it just it was just a construction like a
- Construction capacity issue was more the problem at that time. So We we did we had awarded the contract
- to a contractor that we then I can't think of if it was oh No, it wasn't no Can't can't think of the
- term if we've revoked the contract For lack of better terms we either revoked or canceled the contract
- in agreement with the contractor to say and
- We didn't think the project was going to be as successful as it needed to be You are correct. We were
- gonna move to more of a stamped concrete look with a herringbone design brick like make it look like
- real brick but then as we even thought about it more those bricks are pretty iconic and What you know
- people think about with Kirkwood a lot so this is a good project to maintain and continue forward remove
- the trip hazards and then
- over time with the community really decide what we want to do with Kirkwood. I think that answered your
- question. Yeah it did. So then going forward I mean this obviously when the project is freshly done
- things will be great. Yeah.
- We have the occasional tree growth or brick that inevitably happens That is just built into the regular
- maintenance budget as we've been kind of dealing with it up to this point Yes, and one of the things
- this is actually gonna do is re up our inventory of bricks just with replacement over time from 1998 we've
- I'm running pretty low on those. The other thing this is gonna do is really stabilize a lot of the areas
- where they come loose and maybe become more attractive to take, we won't even go there, but you know
- where I'm headed. Once one goes, the rest of them all. So it will, they'll, in any area that they're
- going to make an improvement, they're gonna pull everything out, get the aggregate out, really reset,
- They put some type of epoxy underneath even before they set like it. So it'll be a full kind of replacement
- of sections at a time. Very good. Any other questions on this item. Any public comments on this item.
- None on zoom. Seeing none is there a motion. I move that we approve the contract with EMB paving for
- the Kirkwood brick paver project. Second.
- Call the roll Caron. I roach. I Cox Deckard. I motion passes Next up is staff reports and other business.
- All right, we've gone longer than we normally do I'll try to be quick here just want to thank the crews down at
