Kanosh approves warrants, OKs $100 car-show donation and awards Elevate lawn/pest contract
Summary
Council approved payment of warrants and recurring invoices (including a UAMS invoice of $16,908.32 and a Peterson Plumbing bill of $11,055.87), approved a $100 donation to the Old Capital Cruisers car show, and awarded lawn and pest-control work to Elevate after reviewing a competing bid from Blue Pines.
The Kanosh Town Council approved payment of a slate of warrants and invoices presented by staff, including several line items called out in the meeting packet. Examples mentioned during discussion included UAMS ($16,908.32) and Peterson Plumbing ($11,055.87). The chair entertained a motion to pay warrants; the motion passed by voice vote.
On community funding, a request from Leonard Davis to sponsor trophies for the Old Capital Cruisers car show was brought forward; the council moved, seconded and approved a $100 donation to the event.
Council members then reviewed competitive bids for parks and cemetery lawn care and pest control. Two bids were discussed: Elevate (roughly $16,416 excluding road work) and Blue Pines (roughly $27,783). Council identified scope differences and asked staff to remove road treatments from the recommended scope. After motion and second, the council awarded the lawn/pest-control scope (parks, cemetery, firehouse, ball fields) to Elevate with the agreed adjustments; the motion passed by voice vote.
Next steps: staff will finalize and sign contracts with the awarded vendor and ensure contract language requires scheduling and communication with town staff.
