Council awards airport camera contract and two-year hay-harvesting agreement
Summary
The council accepted a $13,615 bid for airport surveillance cameras and approved a two-year hay-harvesting contract for the Marshall Municipal Airport.
The Marshall City Council approved a contract to install surveillance cameras at Marshall Municipal Airport and awarded a two-year hay-harvesting contract for airport fields.
City staff recommended accepting the low bid of $13,615 from Hudson Home Protection of Lee's Summit to install cameras covering fuel tanks, hangars and tarmac areas, along with an on-site server and optional cloud access. Staff noted a second bid of $38,966 was received; the council accepted Hudson's bid and authorized staff to proceed.
On the hay-harvesting contract, staff recommended and the council approved a two-year bid from Joshua Crank of Marshall for $10,810 to cut, bale and remove hay from airport property. The contract includes specifications to require the first annual cut by June 15 and additional cuts when grass reaches 2.5 feet to prevent overgrowth.
Council members said the camera system should provide evidence in case of disputes or liability incidents and noted the on-site server stores multiple weeks of footage. Both motions passed by voice vote; no detailed roll-call tallies were provided in the meeting transcript.
