Trimont approves $1,500 cleanup of city-owned parcel at 341 Apple St E, sets 30-day completion
Summary
Council approved Fuller’s $1,500 bid to clean up 341 Apple St E (parcel now city-owned after back-tax transfer), authorized payment from preservation reserves and set a 30-day completion deadline; council also approved advertising for bids to remove up to 50 trees.
The Trimont City Council on June 16 approved a $1,500 bid from Fuller to clean up city-owned property at 341 Apple St E, directing that the work be completed within 30 days. The minutes state the property’s back taxes were paid and the parcel has been transferred to the city; the cleanup will be paid from the city preservation reserve fund.
Council Member Bradford Flohrs made the motion to accept Fuller’s bid and Council Member Justin Lubben seconded; the vote was recorded 5-0. Council also voted 5-0 to advertise for tree-removal bids for up to 50 trees, with the arborist to determine which trees would be removed.
Why it matters: the council has taken formal steps to address a vacant city-owned parcel and authorized use of preservation funds for cleanup. The minutes do not state the estimated cost of tree removal or the full scope of the cleanup beyond the approved dollar amount for Fuller’s bid.
Next steps: Fuller’s cleanup work carries a 30-day completion deadline and the city will solicit competitive bids for the planned tree removals.
