Council extends supplementary snow-plowing contract with Mattis Landscaping through Dec. 2025

Council approved a $23,000 purchase requisition to Mattis Landscaping to provide supplementary snow plowing at several city properties and amended the contract term to run from Oct. 2024 through Dec. 31, 2025.

The supplementary service covers the postal annex, the police department and the municipal lot off Route 21, and includes walkways between the parking lot and the adjacent sidewalk. The committee reported that per-push rates remain flat from prior years.

Why it matters: The contract funds short-term snow-removal support for city facilities where parking and pedestrian access are essential, and the amended term ensures coverage through the 2024–25 winter season.
