Council discusses town cleanup, cemetery bids and spring community events
Summary
Council approved planning steps for a town cleanup (proposed April 18), discussed cemetery bid advertisement and sidewalk sequencing for a bathroom/sidewalk project, and reviewed plans for Easter egg hunt and fireworks donors for the summer celebration.
The council discussed Parks and Recreation and cemetery items, agreed to pursue a town cleanup day (proposed April 18) with a dumpster option and asked staff to gather cost estimates for the next meeting.
Council members reviewed procurement steps for cemetery work and confirmed they must re-advertise the project if contract amounts exceed thresholds. Staff will obtain yardage and bid language and return with firm costs.
On community events, councilors planned an April 11 Easter egg hunt and discussed the July celebration timeline (including a possible Citizen of the Year award and fireworks); potential donors mentioned in discussion included IFA, Valiant and local businesses. Council asked staff to pursue vendors and confirmed volunteers would staff event food service.
The council also reviewed sequence options for sidewalks and a bathroom renovation project at the park, seeking to coordinate concrete pours and contractor availability to limit rework and cost. Councilors asked the public-works lead to confirm schedule and report back.
