Board of Control report: service department purchases, financial rebate and playground mulch approved
Summary
City staff reported Board of Control actions from a March 10 meeting: purchases for asphalt patching material, hanging baskets, geotechnical borings, an incentive rebate payment and playground mulch were approved; motions were reported as approved by the board and summarized to council.
Council received a written report summarizing actions taken by the Board of Control at its March 10 meeting in Ferry Park Community Room. The board met at 10 a.m. and approved five items, the report said.
Items reported and approved by the board included a request from the service department to purchase asphalt patching product (trial product) with a motion to pay $15,000 to Seal Master from capital projects fund 811, approved by the board 5–0; a request to buy 40 hanging self‑watering baskets (flowers, fertilizer and delivery) with a motion to pay $6,122.50 to Urban Growers from the general fund, approved 5–0; and geotechnical borings for a waterline project at 223 West 223rd Street with a motion to pay $6,951 to Mannik & Smith Group, approved 5–0.
The finance department’s request for an incentive rebate under a tax‑incentive agreement (identified in the report as ordinance 16-13) was approved in the amount of $25,267.19; the report broke the rebate into dollar amounts and funds for general and recreation uses but did not specify the capital‑projects portion in the summary provided to council. Finally, the board approved a motion to pay $30,000 to Suburban Landscaping for mulch for playgrounds and parks, reported approved 5–0.
Council members heard the Board of Control report and acknowledged the approvals; the item was presented as an informational report rather than a new council motion.
