Blooming Grove held their February City Council Meeting on the second at 6:30 pm. January’s minutes were voted on and approved.
Administration reported that applications for elections must be submitted by February 13th. The term for the mayor and two city council members are expiring as well as another council position will open up mid-term.
Public Safety gave an annual racial profile report and T.C Lawhon stated, “There were no complaints this year or use of force reported.”
The major public safety issue over the last month were stray and loose dogs in several areas around town. Blooming Grove Police are working to resolve the issue and are looking into the possibility of working with a shelter or animal rescue to rehome the dogs.
Municipal court was able to successfully serve everyone this month for court. Lawhon also reported on this stating it was “a small docket, but it was productive.”
There was no representative for Public Works at the meeting.
The mayor, Ashley Mahone, reported that the fundraiser for Casey Sparks is being scaled back, but planning is still in the works for March 14th.
There were two new business voting items. First, the Election Order for May 2, 2026, was voted on and approved. Second, there was an amendment toe STV’s Elevated Tank Contract for Engineering and Inspection Services that was also voted on and approved. Though this means that the city will now have to pay for any additional inspections needed for the completion of the water tank project, the city will be withholding the cost from final payment with the contractors that have failed previous inspections.
There was a quick discussion of the Blooming Grove National Honor Society securing a grant that will pay for supplies needed to paint the fire hydrants around town. The students have it in mind to present a patriotic theme and will submit artwork for approval in March’s meeting.
