- Good evening folks Adam Wason public works director for the city of Bloomington. I've got 5 31 p.m.
- On Tuesday April 21st on my clock right now. This is the regular.
- Board of Public Works meeting for Tuesday April 21st 2026 we're here in council chambers at City Hall
- on the agenda and on the website there's also a zoom link for the meeting with a meeting ID and a passcode
- looks like we might have a couple members of the public on the zoom link if you do have public comment
- or any items on the agenda and you are virtual we'll use the raised hand function or the chat function
- for that and for any of the agenda items
- And otherwise, I'll turn it over to Elizabeth Carone for tonight's meeting. Thank you, Adam. I call
- to order tonight's meeting of the Board of Public Works for April 21, 2026. First, we will begin with
- messages from board members. Are there any messages from the board tonight? Seeing none. Next on the
- agenda are appeals. We have two appeals tonight. We will start with the noise appeal at 613 East Brenda
- Lane. Again, Adam Weissen, Public Works Director.
- This is on behalf of city legal and Bloomington police but on March 13th 2026 around 10 30 p.m. noise
- citation 4 0 7 8 4 was issued by to Vincent LaBella at 6 13 East Brenda Lane by officer shields. They
- received a call from dispatch regarding loud music coming from the garage area of the home. The officer
- parked at the school.
- nearby and could hear the music from the road and the music was pending for more than 15 minutes prior
- to the issue and so the citation and I do believe we've got the appellant here in the room but it was
- decided that the
- There was a violation of Bloomington Municipal Code fourteen point oh nine dash oh one oh and BPD recommends
- that the citation be upheld based on that information. And if Mr. LaBella would like to offer anything
- to the board he is welcome to you. If you if you would please state your name at the podium and then
- we'd be happy to hear what you have to say. Thanks. So my name is Vincent LaBella on March 13th of last month.
- Received the noise citation at my my own home I'm appealing the citation as it was issued without a
- prior warning and contains minimal detail regarding how the noise violation was determined The incident
- occurred around 1030, which is near the beginning of typical quiet hours I was not made aware that the
- noise had reached a level that would result in a citation and I would have immediately complied if asked
- Additionally, the citation does not specify any measurable standards such as distance or decibel level
- used to determine that the noise was excessive and
- This is my first offense and I take responsibility for being more mindful moving forward I respect the
- purpose of the ordinance and maintaining peaceful environment for my neighbors as a first-time homeowner
- and a lifelong member of the Bloomington community I'm committed to being respectful and compliant with
- the city standards. This is my first offense and I will ensure it does not happen again I respectfully
- am asking for a dismissal or reduction. I Appreciate the time and consideration regarding this matter
- and request a favor of resolution Thank you very much
- New questions from the board is the officer present with us on zoom. We don't have the officer does
- the officer need to be present legal represent our legal representative. We'll have legal to answer that.
- Castamania from City of Livington Legal Department So the officer we will you guys can continue based
- on the staff report and you continue with your findings and you can also continue Based on the citation
- that was issued So I'm happy to answer any questions that you have for the police department or for
- the legal department Thank you, we could also postpone and wait if you guys want to wait but Thanks
- I would ask the officer this Is it standard to provide a warning before noise violations or not provide
- a warning before noise violations That's correct warnings are not issued So first offense would automatically go to it
- The first fine. Yes. And the first fine is fifty dollars. So the first offense is fifty dollars and
- their warnings are not part of not part of the citation process for noise violations. So any other questions
- or other questions from the board. No I don't have any other questions. I just was going to
- restate from the the staff report because it was mentioned in the appeal document that there wasn't
- a specific measure that it was Found against and that is in part because of the way that ordinance is
- written that it's not based on a certain decibel level or a measurement but rather If there is noise
- that can be heard from outside of the
- Under the Bloomington Code chapter 14 additionally, there is a pending time limit. So it's 15 minutes
- once it's called from dispatch. So the officers do make sure that that time frame is met before they
- go in to check and so the it's the reasonable person measure
- under Chapter fourteen point oh nine zero one. Oh as as written in the staff report Unreasonable unnecessary
- excessive and offensive noise from all sources subjects subjects to its police power It's unlawful for
- any person to cause or make unreasonable noise or to allow any unreasonable noise to be caused or made
- on any real or personal property. So we would argue that there was noise. That is a fact. And the citation
- was issued. And the noise had been pending for 15 minutes once the call came in from dispatch. And also
- that warnings are not part of, it's not under our code to issue warnings for noise appeal, noise citations.
- Just confirm that the call log we have in our packet Does mean that a complaint call was called into
- dispatch, which is correct. Okay. Thank you I do want to make one correction that I noticed in the staff
- report There was some language from one of the previous carryover cases on both of the staff reports
- for the noise or noise appeals and section
- under our facts there's language included in here about the apartment when teaching his roommate how
- to DJ that's from a previous one that was not edited out of this document and that's in both of these
- staff reports for tonight that will be struck from the record that's not for that was an error to be
- included so thank you I did see that when I was reading over the weekend and neglected to bring that
- up at the work session so thank you for saying that last appeals okay sorry
- Is there any public comment on this item? Not on zoom, all right seeing none is there a motion Does
- the opponent have anything else that they do you want to add anything else at this point? I just want
- to make sure you had a chance. Perfect. Thank you Is there a motion I Move that we uphold the noise
- citation for 613 East Brindle Lane. I
- And I second with the motion and a second I will call the roll Cox Decker. I Caron I motion passes.
- Thank you for coming. Next we have a noise appeal at 1521 West Isaac Drive. This is for noise citation
- 4 2 8 6 3 is issued to Emmanuel. I'm sorry.
- Akinsy at 1520 West Isaac Drive. Thank you for the assist there Emanuel And this was issued by officer
- Chad Dorman. It does not appear that officer Dorman is here this evening Do we have him online by chance?
- Okay, and so The officer became alerted to the noise when they received a call from dispatch regarding
- loud music coming from the home Reported by the roommate the roommate left left
- Officer Dorman into the building where the officer could clearly hear music and visually saw about 10
- to 10 to 15 people partying And the appellant is here. This is another case where it was declared that
- the policy of the city was violated and prohibiting unreasonable unnecessary excessive and offensive
- noise from the sources above certain levels and is detrimental to
- to the well-being of the public nearby. Also just stating that that it was a standard of unreasonable
- noise and that a complaint was received on this one as well. If the appellant would like to offer anything
- to the board now would be your chance. If you could state your name please at the podium. My name is
- Emanuel McKenzie and on the 18th of March there was a noise complaint.
- For my understanding, on that particular day, it was an apartment to be precise. I had a few friends
- over. It was during the spring break. And I don't want to cause a disturbance or anything. Before I
- had this gathering, I spoke with my neighbors that I live with and I asked if I'm going to be having
- people over. So they said, oh, you can do that, kids. We're not going to be here during the spring break.
- On that particular day, I spoke with my roommate. I lived with three other people. One of my roommate
- was not here. He went home for spring break. The other two people, I had a conversation with the other
- person. And the last person that reported this, that was my, I made a mistake and I forgot to inform
- him because I had some other things. I was supposed to tell him the old thing that, oh yes, I was having
- people over, but I made a mistake and I forgot to inform him that
- But on that particular day, I was playing music, but not so loud to the point where it was causing too
- much disturbance to the other people in the building. But I feel like that noise is just too much for
- my neighbor, World's Liveaway, and I take responsibility for that. It wasn't my intention to make them
- uncomfortable because I was supposed to communicate with them, but I made a mistake not telling them
- sooner than before having the party over. And I apologize for wasn't making noise, causing a disturbance to my
- Roommate and I just hope I could get a second chance. Um So because this is my first offense and I've
- made um Steps not to make this kind of mistake again not to cause disturbance saying I've better
- communication with my tape with my roommate Questions from the board Just
- Question from city legal we were talking about the 15-minute time period in the prior noise appeal I
- just want to confirm that that was also upheld and the 15-minute time period was upheld in this one
- as well They wait 15 minutes from the time that they get the call of dispatch to see if the noise becomes
- unreasonable if it continues so
- In this particular case, um, when the officer arrived, uh, the call was actually, actually came from
- the roommate, um, from Mr. Kenzie's roommate. Um, and the roommate did lead the officer to where the
- noise was coming from, but, um, well before the officer, um, got to the actual apartment, he could,
- um, hear the music and he visually saw about 10 to 15 people, um, in the home. Um, again,
- I stated in the previous citation BPD does not issue warnings for the citations. They are $50 and and
- Unless that it falls within an enumerated exception under our code There is no warning. Thank you Any
- public comments on this item None on zoom. All right, is there a motion? I
- Move that we uphold the noise citation for 1521 West Isaac Drive And I second I will call the roll Cox
- Deckard. I Caron I motion passes Thank you very much for coming Just for the record
- You know, it has been pretty clearly established with the noise violations over the last couple years
- that the warnings aren't issued, that we are gonna always ask the board to uphold them, and thus there
- are some very extenuating circumstances. You know, I wish there was opportunities for just quick second
- chances, but I do appreciate both of the appellants and the way that they said that they understood
- that it was a violation, but they wanted to try to make right by it, so I appreciate that. Just wanted
- to mention it for the record.
- We have petitions and remonstrances. This is a time for anybody to make public comment on items that
- are not in tonight's agenda If there's anyone in council chambers, they may approach the podium and
- if you are on zoom Use the raise hand function or chat Thank You Miranda we will move to the consent
- agenda on tonight's consent agenda the minutes from February 10th 2026 and
- resolution 20 26-0 to 1 mobile vendor Kona ice truck 1 resolution 20 26-0 to 2 mobile vendor Kona ice
- truck 2 resolution 20 26-0 to 3 mobile vendor flame and grill service agreement for biohazard remediation

- service agreement with Cummins for facilities, noise permit for Duke Energy for IU circuit relocation,
- resolution 2026-024, surplus by Bloomington Police Department, and payroll. Is there anything that needs
- to come off the consent agenda this evening? All right, questions from the board on the consent agenda?
- Any questions, or I'm sorry, comments from the public on the consent agenda?
- Just wanted to make note the MSI LLC is the correct Current way that martial security and how we pay
- their invoices So we did change that to MSI LLC James had mentioned it yesterday in the work session
- And I just wanted to state that for the record it is MSI LLC Thank you for that confirmation With no
- comment is there a motion?
- Move that we approve the consent agenda for April 21st of 2026. I Second I will call the roll Cox Decker.
- I Korone I motion passes Next we'll move along to new business First we have amendment one to the contract
- with Crossroads engineers for preliminary engineering of Hopewell South Thanks for hearing me tonight
- this is an amendment to the
- Preliminary engineering contract for Hopewell South. So we initially entered into a contract with Crossroad
- engineers PC to do the subdivision and the design of the Hopewell South Neighborhood that the RDC is
- moving forward. There's a PUD being considered by City Council actually tomorrow and then a lot of work
- to follow whatever comes out of that but these specific items were not identified in the initial contract this is
- a new water main in Wiley and stormwater detention along Wiley. This is something that came about after
- further evaluation of the site. This is something that would be required no matter what kind of development
- is going into Hopewell South, so it's not dependent on the PUD. So we're moving forward with the contract
- amendment to add that survey work. This also includes additional geotechnical exploration on the 714
- South Rogers building site, which is kind of being
- Pursued for some kind of reuse. There's some testing going on with the geotechnical Consultant that
- will help inform what that site can be used for so those are the two items in this contract amendment
- tonight Just for your knowledge. This was approved for funding at the RDC last night with a resolution
- So this is the final step to getting the contract amendment Approved and I'm happy to answer any questions
- on it Thank you questions from the board
- I don't have any questions either. Are there public comments on this item? Again, if you are on zoom,
- feel free to use the raise hat hand function or the chat None on the zoom Seeing none is there a motion?
- I move that we approve amendment one to contract with Crossroads engineers for preliminary engineering
- of Hopewell South Second, I will call the roll Cox Decker. I Korone I motion passes. I
- Next we have a contract with ENB paving for Grimes Lane Kirkwood Avenue Patterson Drive and Roger Street
- maintenance project. Good evening Sarah Gomez with engineering department requesting approval for the
- award of contract to be paving for the Grimes Lane Kirkwood Avenue Patterson Rogers maintenance project.
- The project includes resurfacing restriping
- and other work, including replacing a traffic signal at the intersection of West Kirkwood and Rogers
- Street, reconstruction of pedestrian curb ramps and crosswalks and other related maintenance work and
- the project limits. The maintenance of traffic for the project will include a full road closure on West
- Kirkwood, which will be a maximum of 10 days, not necessarily consecutive. For West Grimes Lane, Patterson
- Drive and South Rogers,
- One lane road closures will be in place throughout the project. The bids for Grimes Lane Kirkwood were
- opened publicly and read aloud at noon on April 10th twenty twenty six at City Hall atrium EMB paving
- was the lowest responsible and responsive bidder with a bid of four million six hundred seventy nine
- thousand nine hundred fifty fifteen dollars and ninety nine cents.
- milestone contractors at four million six hundred eighty five thousand six hundred ninety six dollars
- and fifty nine cents and Criter and Criter with five point sorry five million four hundred seventy four
- thousand thirty two dollars and thirty five cents engineering recommends awarding the contract to EU
- and be paving as They were the lowest responsible and responsive better Happy to answer questions Thank
- you questions from the board
- Do we know roughly the timeline for the project? It's 180 days, so it's a very tight timeline. And after
- award tonight, we will figure out when that start date is. I imagine they'll want to start as soon as
- possible, maybe May 1st. And then there are restrictions on the closure on Kirkwood as well as the other
- part of the project.
- Believe the dates are May 22nd through June, August. I can't remember the exact date, but yeah, before
- students return. Avoiding the problematic traffic time, which is, of course, what I'm asking. Of course.
- So I'm actually currently also looking at a document that talks about all of our projects that we have
- going on throughout the whole community this summer. And so we're balancing a lot right now.
- Pavement maintenance projects that are outside of this contract that are also adjacent To the area where
- we're gonna have paving here You know, this is these are all of the main thoroughfares in that kind
- of quadrant of the city from the Norbert Nordic site north on Patterson up to third and fifth
- Kirkwood because it wouldn't be a road in Bloomington without three names. And then over to the portion
- of Kirkwood we're actually going to do from like Adams to... We're going Pine to Rogers. Pine to Rogers.
- You know, so we're
- Coordinating all of these with other projects in mind as well We also still have the continued work
- on 2nd Street throughout the summer with utility relocation. So the folks like Sarah and You know the
- the street staff and everybody that are doing the like fine fine tuning coordination of balancing all
- this Really appreciate those efforts because there is a lot of balancing that we're trying to do with
- all these various projects It wouldn't be a summer in Bloomington if we weren't closing some streets. Yes
- All in the name of good investments into our infrastructure for long term maintenance and minimum impact
- trying to get them all in during the same time period. So appreciate that coordination. I just want
- to confirm you said that the full closure at West Kirkwood and Rogers would be 10 days not necessarily
- consecutive days.
- And it won't it won't just be at Rogers intersection. It would be along that corridor from pine to Rogers
- because we are putting in some raised crosswalks for safety purposes. So those will be needing maybe
- a few days closure each. And so those will be spaced out over time depending on how the contractor wants
- to get it done. So it'll be up to them if they want to make it consecutive or not consecutive. OK. That's
- helpful. Thank you.
- Any other questions from the board questions from or I'm sorry public comment on this item.
- None on zoom. All right. Seeing none is there a motion. I move that we approve the contract with Ian
- be paving for Grimes Lane Kirkwood Avenue Patterson Drive and Roger Street maintenance project. Second

- Good evening board Adam Wason public works director for the city of Bloomington. This is something we've
- been working on for last several months with staff from several city departments including parks and
- recreation engineering department and others and So this is a program that will seek out sponsorship
- monies for the support and maintenance of four of our roundabouts and this kind of this came to us after
- some interested parties and
- asked about any programs that we had in place for such work and Realized we didn't have anything formal
- in place that really could Help us to meet some of our goals to not only beautify but maintain several
- of our roundabouts There is a sponsorship agreement that's been included in your packet And this will
- also go to the Board of Parks commissioners for their approval some things to note that there are You
- know several
- of goals or intentions listed here in terms of the beautification and such, but also that there are
- terms in which the sponsor provides the financial support and what type of recognition they get in the
- roundabout with signage and such. It also lists out that there are
- Industries and products that may not participate in the adopter on about program including religious
- religious organizations party based or issue based political organizations or campaigns Businesses regarded
- as adult businesses as defined by Indiana code and companies that derive 50% or more of their business
- from the sale of any of the following alcohol tobacco or vape alcohol tobacco or vape products
- firearms or ammunition pornography or gambling so there are some restrictions and some language in there
- to that Outline who may not participate in this type of program and then just also list that the program
- is a 12-month sponsorship and that the Board of Parks both the Parks director and
- Parks Department and the Public Works Department will work on these sponsorship and agreements in partnership
- Any questions from the board Regarding the Sponsorship levels, is there like a maximum number of sponsors
- per roundabout? Okay, so as many as we can fit the signs in we could have like multiple you could have
- a landmark or
- but also a welcome maybe in the same roundabout potentially. I don't know that we'll have overwhelming
- number of individuals or businesses knocking on the door but we have a few that are interested and you know
- Ideally, we would seek sponsors of all of the different roundabouts instead of multiple ones at a single
- one But we also understand some of them probably have higher traffic counts than others, etc. So Imagine
- a situation where they'd prefer a certain roundabout exactly. Yeah Does this language match other city
- sponsorship
- Activity like what is it? Is it crafted from something that has parks parks has had sponsorship for
- trees Beeline backers program, so We pretty much pulled from previous examples work for city legal I
- believe some of the language may even come from the adopt a road sponsorship program that we've had
- partnership with the solid waste management district on so We did not try to reinvent the wheel
- One is about the recognition signage says it shall not exceed 16 square feet in total area per sign
- that 16 square feet is that four by four feet? Yes, just like is That's a very very large sign with
- that not impede No, so when you really think about it in traffic
- You'd be surprised at how small 4x4 sign would actually look as you're in a vehicle or something like
- that. It would not. So all of these standards are based on the UDO and the manual on uniform traffic
- control devices, otherwise known as the MUTCD, and their signage standards for roadway signage and such.
- Okay. Thank you. I'm not an engineer. It just sounds large to me. Yes.
- Overall not as big as you would think. Okay And I just have a question for city legal This came up yesterday
- during our work session and I would just like to make sure our colleague who is not here Has his voice
- heard could you explain the list of industries and products that may not participate in the program
- how that was defined and
- I can tell you that I was part of this conversation largely with parks and they have the same list when
- it comes to park sponsorship So who can put up banners and who can sponsor things? through their programs
- Frankly, I would have to look back at
- At the statute, but I believe that there's a lot of those things are taken from statute, especially
- the definitions of things Some of those things are just are some of the items on the those lists are
- pretty standard for municipalities or other governmental entities there are already pretty strict guidelines
- we have to follow when you talk about
- political signs in on government property Potentially religious signs on government property. So there
- those are already things that we have to be very conscious and careful of And to avoid bringing everything
- back to this board every single sign back to this board It can be easier for us to make a rule with
- these items on the list I
- cannot remember the basis for decisions regarding adult products, smoking, vaping, alcohol, those kinds
- of things. But I can tell you those are also pretty standard in governmental prohibitions regarding
- signs and advertisements on government property across governmental entities. Thank you. Yes. Other
- questions from the board?
- We did at one point in the distant past have some sort of sponsored like roundabout sponsor situation.
- This is a long time ago.
- I'm just curious. I don't remember all the details of it. This seems like a more formalized process,
- though, than what we had before. So I'm just asking, like, is this essentially an improved process compared
- to what may have been in place in the past if any organizations had participated in the plan? Yes. One
- of the things I didn't quite have time on my plate, this was on a to-do list for quite some time to
- get it updated. And we brought on some new staff that was able to devote the time.
- Shout out to Cassie Warnie for her work on this. It was just one of those where it finally had somebody
- that was able to put the time and effort to work with parks, get it formalized, get it updated, and
- make it something that would work better. It still has terms and language on if the sponsor is not meeting
- their obligations, things like that. But one of the issues in the past was that the sponsorship often
- included the maintenance side of it from the sponsor.
- Pulling weeds from around about in the middle of Sarah and Rogers probably not your favorite day of
- activities for most people So we did have some issue in the past with that. This is more of a financial
- contribution So then we can then contract for the maintenance. Yeah, I noticed that which I thought
- was an improvement an improvement, especially for the sponsors Great. Thank you Not on zoom, all right,
- is there a motion to
- I move that we approve the adopt a roundabout policy. Nice second with a motion and a second. I will
- call the roll Cox Decker. I Caron I motion passes Next is amendment to to contract with IMS
- All right. This is after we discussed this at length yesterday. I think we've got a much more clear
- and concise reason for how we've ended up where we're at here. But this is amendment number two not
- amendment number one and it is in the amount of two thousand four hundred and eighty dollars. This is
- just an amendment to add 12 months of additional of an additional time period.
- for the photo images from the data collection project that we're doing that we would have it for an
- extended period of time being 12 months. This brings the total amount of the contract to two hundred
