Gillsville to clear trees at Town Park; council to seek bids for further work and defer court repairs
Summary
Mayor Wade Dale said Hazelgreen Tree Service will semi-clear trees at Town Park for an estimated $10,000; the council agreed to accept bids for additional tree work and decided to complete tree removal before repairing or renovating the tennis courts or converting them to pickleball.
The Gillsville Town Council authorized initial tree-clearing work at Town Park and agreed to seek bids for additional work beyond the initial scope. Mayor Wade Dale said Hazelgreen Tree Service has been commissioned to semi-clear the area between the parking lot and the tennis courts with an estimate of $10,000; the council agreed to accept bids for clearing additional pines and trees on the other side of the road.
Council members discussed the tennis courts and outstanding non-working lights and considered whether to convert the courts to support pickleball. The council decided to complete the tree-clearing work first and defer repairs or conversion work on the courts until after trees are removed.
The transcript does not record contract terms beyond the $10,000 estimate, the timeline for work, or which bids were received; the council's next steps include soliciting and reviewing bids for additional clearing and scheduling court repairs afterward.
