The Crawfordsville Board of Public Works and Safety approved several items Wednesday, including requests for multiple upcoming events and several mowing work orders.
The board approved a request from Paul Barajas to close South Green Street from East Pike Street to East Main Street from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Aug. 29 for Groovin’ on Green.
The board also approved requests from Nicholas Kashon related to the annual Veterans Day Parade on Wednesday, Nov. 11. The parade will run from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Kashon said the parade will feature a larger program this year, including additional ROTC units because Indianapolis will not hold a parade this year.
The parade will begin an hour earlier than normal to accommodate the color guard who will also be at Veterans Memorial Park that day.
The board approved an agreement between the city and Lexipol for grant research, writing and management services. The agreement totals $36,750.
The board also approved an extension of the city’s street sweeping agreement with the Indiana Department of Transportation through June 30, 2029.
Code Enforcement Officer Barry Lewis presented multiple mowing work orders, which the board approved.

Wabash Ave. owned by Christa Jennings; 209 Louise Ave. owned by Jakob Brown; 1304 Mill St. owned by Jennifer Sermersheim; 912 W. Market St. owned by Daedalus Land Trust; and 1000 E.

All of the work orders are for mowing, except for the property on Louise Avenue, where a collapsed pool also needs removal.
