Pennock sets youth-priority mowing rates, bids due March 31
Summary
The Pennock City Council set specific mowing pay rates for youth summer projects — $25 for Dirk's Fourth Addition Park and $60 for the softball/baseball field — and said mowing jobs will be awarded to city residents ages 16–18 first; bid packets are due March 31 and awards will be made April 1.
The Pennock City Council reviewed its summer mowing bid packet at the March 4 meeting and approved rates and a youth-priority hiring approach.
Council member Shane Dillabough moved to set the rate for Dirk's Fourth Addition Park at $25 and the Softball/Baseball field at $60; Council member Lance Crowe seconded the motion and the council approved it (vote tally not specified). The minutes state that summer mowing projects are intended for applicants ages 16–18 who must be Pennock residents; adults may submit requests but the council will award mowing jobs to youth first.
Clerk/Administrator Dawn Johnson said bid packets will be available at the Post Office and City Office. Bids must be submitted to the city office by 12:00 p.m. Monday, March 31, 2025. The projects will be awarded at the council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, April 1, 2025, at 7:00 p.m.
The minutes do not list the full set of rates for all areas (they say "other areas leave as presented") nor do they include a vendor or contractor list; further details are expected with the published bid packet and at the April 1 awards meeting.
The council adjourned at 8:50 p.m.; official minutes will be approved at the next meeting.
