Council hears proposal to hire local firm for citywide mosquito spraying; $3,000 savings cited
Summary
City staff proposed contracting Kevin's Spray Service to perform weekly mosquito spraying 2–3 times per week citywide, starting the second week of May; staff said the local bid is about $3,000 cheaper than the incumbent. A motion to approve Resolution 25-0421-2 was made and seconded; no roll-call vote appears in the provided transcript.
City staff presented a proposal to award the municipal mosquito-control contract to a local vendor, Kevin's Spray Service, and council members moved to consider a resolution to authorize the agreement.
The staff presentation noted the existing vendor had served the city for about three years and that a local provider's bid was roughly $3,000 cheaper. The proposed service would perform mosquito spraying across the entire city two to three times per week, beginning the second week in May and extending if needed into September, October or November.
A council member moved and another seconded a motion to approve resolution number 25-0421-2 to enter an agreement with the mosquito-control service. The provided transcript contains the motion and a second but does not record a roll-call tally or a formal announcement of the final vote in the excerpt supplied.
The transcript does not include details on contract length, total contract value, insurance or indemnification provisions, or which department would manage the contract. Staff indicated the schedule could be extended later in the year if mosquito activity required it, but no implementation timeline or cost breakdown beyond the $3,000 lower bid was recorded in the provided excerpt.
