The Board of Public Works & Safety met on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at New Albany City Hall. The meeting covered several administrative and operational items including a public hearing on sidewalk signage for a local business, approval of temporary street closures for power washing and structural inspections, and approval of contracts and claims.
Yeah, it's all those. I don't know that I can tell you. Like it's like I'm pretty sure it was all in actual or worse. Or it's no. I'd like to call that Tuesday, May 12th, and we'll all meet Board of Public Works and Safety Meeting to order. Surprise for Pledge of Allegiance. Pledge of the I say. If you're not on the agenda and you'd like to be uh just come to the podium sign up, please and get to you under communications for the public. Section of the meeting. Um, yeah, I guess we've got to get to communications public now. That's on you. Give me taking my thing. Okay. Amanda. Am I just not my first name? Um Amanda McMonagall. Uh before I got started, I did want to just mention uh, since it is a matter of public record, my name's misspelled on last week's minutes, and it may be for my handwriting. My L's and my E's can look the same, but it's M C M-O-N-I-G-L-E. Um I wanted to first uh say thank you for letting me come up last week and uh discuss the issue of having with uh our sidewalk signage and our signage and our hidden location over on Bank Street. Uh one of the main questions that I had last week was under Section F in the ordinances as to whether the square footage of signage could be applied across multiple signed signs. Uh Mr. Thompson indicated that is not really a possibility. That was not the intention of what is under uh letter F. So what I would like to ask is a simple uh under section F is a sidewalk or sandwich board sign that adheres to the square footage regulations uh under F to be placed on the corner of Maine and Bank Street. Um adhering to some of the things he mentioned about the ADA regulations. Uh that's something that I would like to work with the city or Mr. Thompson on to tell me specifically what would be acceptable placement-wise there. Um and then also be able to have my sandwich sign outside uh my current uh door front stuff. So without seeing that section that you're referring to, uh I'd like to review that. I think that um I'll also like to have Mickey part of the discussion too. Um unfortunately he's not able to be here today. Yes. Um are you requesting for the one you said at bank in Maine just during the days that you're open? Correct, yes. But you also need the other one that you want outside the fence, is that correct? Well, I think if you if you're located in here, that might just be probably only correct in that courtyard area. Court yards. In front of the courtyard, yes. Now what I did do this past Saturday, because I my understanding is that it uh was in accordance to the ordinances. So my spot is right in the corner. There's the fence between the undergard underground uh courtyard and then the uh sidewalk. And I put it on the sidewalk because it literally is on the corner. Um like next I mean it there's like a drainage thing there. Um and if that's if that's not okay, that's fine. Um it can be placed inside the courtyard, which is fine as well. And remind us again when you're open. Uh my scheduled hours are Fridays 10 to 7, Saturdays 10 to 4. The only additional hours are pop-up hours surrounding like holidays. So for example, Derby Week, I was also open Thursday. Figured there's people in town for Derby.
