Summary
Jeffersontown City Council approved a resolution to continue cleaning services from Cleaning by Regina on a month-to-month addendum while the mayor considers hiring an in-house city employee to perform cleaning; the resolution includes a 90-day termination clause and a maximum one-year term, and the transcript's pricing figures were unclear.
Jeffersontown City Council on Aug. 19 approved a resolution authorizing the mayor to sign an addendum to the existing contract with Cleaning by Regina to provide cleaning services for city hall, the senior citizens building and public works on a month-to-month basis while the city considers hiring an employee to perform the work.
The resolution, described by a council member during the meeting, authorizes a short-term addendum because the original contract ended the prior day. The addendum extends services on a 90-day-notice basis and will not exceed one year from the contract end date. The presenter said the police department remains under a separate contract that is unaffected.
The presenter told the council there were price changes reflected in the addendum but the transcript contained garbled numeric amounts for some line items. The meeting record shows city-hall cleaning moved from one amount to another and public-works and senior-center line items were discussed; the exact numerical increases were not clearly reported in the transcript and should be confirmed in the city contract file.
Mayor (name not specified) explained the city is weighing whether to continue contract labor or hire an in-house employee and described the city's interest in reducing long-term cleaning costs. The council made the motion for passage, a second was recorded, and the motion carried on a voice vote.
The addendum includes: month-to-month continuation of services, termination by either party with 90 days notice, a limit that the extension will not exceed one year from the prior contract end, and an increase in the scope or price for certain building services as negotiated by the mayor. Details on the precise pricing changes were not clear in the meeting transcript and should be verified with the signed addendum.
