Logansport Common Council Special Meeting
Published: Jul 23, 2026
Police and Fire Departments Request Additional Funds for Overtime Amid Staffing Shortages
The council discussed additional appropriations for the police and fire departments to cover overtime expenses due to staffing shortages. Police Chief Sean explained that a 25% staffing shortage requires existing officers to cover more shifts, leading to increased overtime. The fire department also faces overtime costs due to retirements, resignations, and worker's compensation injuries. Both departments are seeking funds to cover overtime until the end of the year. The council approved an ordinance for additional appropriations for these departments.
Riverside Park Grant Proposal Fails to Secure Council Support Amidst Financial and Preservation Concerns
The council discussed a proposed grant matching commitment for Riverside Park improvements. Mayor's letter supported the match but opposed removing the pavilion and train tracks. Public comments expressed concerns about maintenance, historical preservation of the train and carousel, and financial implications. Council ultimately voted against moving forward with the grant at this time. Discussions also touched upon pickleball courts, softball fields, and the overall park master plan.
City Adopts Municipal Wheel Tax to Increase Funding for Street Improvements
The council discussed and approved an ordinance imposing a municipal wheel tax. This change aims to ensure all collected tax revenue stays within the city, as opposed to the current system where a significant portion goes to the county. The new tax will make the city eligible for direct lane mile distribution funding for street improvements starting in 2027. The ordinance passed its second reading.
