Lafayette City on June 23 approved routine administrative items including four certificates of completion for public works projects, a resolution to participate in the Indiana Bond Bank fuel-hedge program for 2026, budget increases for two Lafayette Housing Authority homes on Powder House Lane, substantial and final completion for a Lafayette Renew wastewater project, and claims totaling $6,239,858.79.

City Engineer Jeremy Renard told the board the city had reached final completion on four projects and recommended issuance of certificates to Dixon Construction. "This morning, we have 4 certificates of completion. For each of these, we reached final completion. Work has passed all inspections," Renard said. The board approved certificates for the 2025 Greenbush Street CDBG project (one‑year warranty began 2025-11-01), North 20 Second Street (warranty began 2025-05-01), the Heath Street concrete project (warranty began 2025-09-01) and the 2025 Miller edition CDBG project (warranty began 2025-06-01).

The council then approved Resolution 12-20-25 to participate in the Indiana Bond Bank fuel-hedge program for 2026. Legal counsel said the city has used the program for several years and that the City Council had already approved participation the previous evening. The board voted in favor of the resolution during the meeting.

Michelle Ramos of the Lafayette Housing Authority presented two separate requests to increase budgets for homes at 2150 and 2160 Powder House Lane after unanticipated underground work. Ramos said contractors encountered a very deep main connection that required excavation and metal shoring to reach the lateral; she recommended adding the additional costs to each house's budget and identified HOME funds as the financing source. The meeting record lists the construction cost for the individual house in the project exhibit at about $1,667,000. The board moved, seconded and approved the budget increases for both addresses.

Brad Talley of Lafayette Renew asked the board to accept a certificate of substantial completion and later a certificate of final completion for the department's "3-pack" project, covering north-end drainage, aeration-tank diffusers and core screen replacement. "Bowen Engineering completed this project with a substantial completion date of 05/23/2025," Talley said. The board approved both the substantial completion and the certificate of final completion (final completion dated 06/23/2025).

Deputy Controller Jenna Carl presented claims totaling $6,239,858.79 for payment. During review a member asked whether work on the Riehle Plaza SkyBridge represented a design flaw or wear; staff said several conduit hangars had corroded and were reattached beneath the SkyBridge with railroad access. Carl confirmed several line items were temporary occupancy permits related to Habitat projects. The board voted to approve the claims.

Most items were routine approvals with limited debate; the meeting record shows members asked procedural clarifying questions about project costs, the depth of the lateral connections at the Powder House Lane houses, and the cause of failures on the SkyBridge conduit hangars. No items in the transcript were tabled or identified for further study.

Actions recorded at the meeting included approval of minutes, certificates of completion for four public-works projects, passage of Resolution 12-20-25 to participate in the Indiana Bond Bank fuel-hedge program, approval of two budget increases for Lafayette Housing Authority homes at 2150 and 2160 Powder House Lane, acceptance of substantial and final completion certificates for the Lafayette Renew 3-pack project, and approval of claims totaling $6,239,858.79.
