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

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

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

second. I will call the roll Cox-Dickard. I Korone I motion passes. Thank you Next is adopt a roundabout policy. I
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
and fifty three thousand three hundred and seventy one dollars. And we request your approval.
Thank you. I'll just say I appreciate the clarification after our conversation yesterday. Questions
from the board. That got pretty confusing yesterday for everybody. I'm glad that was a work session.
Not tonight.
No, I don't have any other questions. Okay public comment on this item None on zoom is there a motion
I move that we approve amendment 2 to contract with IMS and I second I will call the roll Cox Deckard.
I'm Caron. I motion passes Next on the agenda staff reports Miranda beaver on behalf of Zach Bell. I
think he forgot he had a follow-up on the IU circuit relocation notification I did meet with him today and
We discussed the Duke energy's process for notification, um, with Corey, um, Hamlin from Duke energy
and he did send an email out to them, um, to get a little more clarification on it. However, they do
have a text messaging and a, um, email notification process for 72 hours before the outage is, um, going
to occur. And,
They also have to this was the other thing that I think we missed yesterday in the work session
is clarification that they have to meet the iurc standard of Notification process for an a scheduled
outage. So all we are doing is approving the noise during that time period the iurc really navigates
the notification for those longer period of time outages which when
Zach and Kyle followed up. It is a 72 hour notification that they will be Aware of but we did try to
