Melbourne City Council voted unanimously to hire Gabe Goodrich for a part-time seasonal mowing contract for summer 2019 and asked that he receive a written list of mowing guidelines to be reviewed annually.

The Melbourne City Council on May 13 approved hiring Gabe Goodrich for the city’s part-time seasonal mowing position for the summer.
