The Maurice City Council voted unanimously Oct. 15 to accept a bid from Schwebach Tree Service to remove all ash trees located in city right-of-ways at a cost of $625 per tree. Council member Isaac Holtrop made the motion, and Sharon Vermeer seconded it; the council recorded an all-aye vote and the motion carried.
Council members present for the vote were Mayor Randy Hoekstra and council members Sharon Vermeer, William Korver, Isaac Holtrop, Roger De Weerd and Cindy Larsen. The motion was recorded as part of the meeting's old business; the council did not record any amendments or conditions attached to the award.
The removal was presented as an item for acceptance of a contractor bid; the transcript does not specify the number of trees to be removed or the planned schedule. Funding for the work was not detailed during the motion; the council approved the contractor award without further discussion recorded in the minutes.
Next procedural step: the council will proceed under the accepted bid to schedule work with the contractor and implement removals per city public-works procedures.
