The board also accepted a quote from David Price Excavating of Crawfordsville for storm water work in the North Ridge neighborhood. The contract cost is $132,920.
In other business, the board:
• Gave Gary Bell, a Veterans Day Parade organizer, permission for this year’s parade route. Participants will travel along Main Street, turn south on Washington Street and turn east onto Pike Street. City street closures will be in effect from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Nov. 11 to accommodate the parade.
Final approval for the route is pending with the Indiana Department of Transportation. Bell said if state approval is not given for use of Washington Street, then organizers will use Green Street.
A memorial ceremony will take place at 11 a.m. Nov. 11 at the courthouse. It will include a wreath laying presentation and mayoral proclamation. The parade will commence following the brief ceremony.
