Park Board ratifies lawn-services contract, multiple use agreements and Ruoff Mortgage sponsorship
Summary
The Greenwood Park Board approved a $5,339 service agreement with Certified Lawns, multiple community use agreements for parks, and ratified a sponsorship package with Ruoff Mortgage worth $5,500 (packet also lists a $2,500 field-level sponsorship). Board members voted to approve each item in sequence.
At its April 7 meeting the Greenwood Park Board approved a series of routine business items brought forward in the attorney’s report, including a service agreement with Certified Lawns and multiple facility use agreements, and ratified a sponsorship with Ruoff Mortgage.
The attorney described a service agreement with Certified Lawns for $5,339 to provide lawn services; the transcript and packet list the year as "2012," which appears inconsistent with the current meeting date. Board members asked about the scope of grub control and the board confirmed the vendor has been used for roughly three years. The board approved the Certified Lawns agreement (motion by Ms. Williams, seconded by Mr. Burton).
Staff then presented four use agreements to permit community groups to use Freedom Park and Summerfield Park for scheduled activities. The packet and meeting script reference Fleet Feet, Grace House Church (also referenced in the packet as 'Grace Grace House' or similar), Saint Barnabas (appearing elsewhere as 'St. Barbara's' in the transcript), and Suburban Christian Schools; staff reported no concerns and the board approved the grouped use agreements (motion by Mr. Burke, seconded by Ms. Williams).
Finally, the board ratified a partnership agreement with Ruoff Mortgage to sponsor Freedom Springs Sports Park and the dog parks. The packet describes sponsorship tiers including a $2,500 field-level sponsor and $5,500 total in sponsorship revenue; the board approved the ratification (motion by Mr. Dietrich, seconded by Ms. Williams).
All three items were approved by voice vote during the meeting. The board did not attach additional conditions to the approvals in the meeting record; staff will implement the contracts and posted use schedules under existing administrative processes.
