After months of buildup at the city tree-dump, the council approved a DKW Tree Service quote not to exceed $21,000 to grind and process yard waste and agreed to lock the dump while grinding proceeds; members discussed longer-term options including a chipper or an ongoing fee-based service.

The Jesup City Council voted to accept a quote from DKW Tree Service to grind and process the municipal tree-dump, approving an amount not to exceed $21,000 and directing staff to lock the dump until grinding is completed (with provisions to reopen for major storm events). Council members debated whether the service should be a recurring contract, whether to purchase a chipper for in-house work, and how to prevent future accumulation from outside sources.
