Macksburg council approves extra tree protections, accepts contractor cleanup bid
Summary
The Macksburg City Council approved installing a third protective post and mulching small park trees and accepted a resident's $25-per-trailer cleanup proposal for work around the Maintenance Building.
Mayor Kevin Jackson presided as the Macksburg City Council approved two maintenance motions affecting the city park and maintenance facility.
At the public forum resident Caleb Decker raised concerns about the quality of his mowing services; the council advised him to complete weed trimming and to be careful around flower beds. Following that discussion, Council Member Matt Owens moved and Council Member Rhonda Dean seconded a motion to install a third protective post around each small park tree and to apply mulch; the motion passed unanimously.
The council also voted to accept a written proposal from Caleb Decker to clean up the area surrounding the Maintenance Building, including trimming trees and shrubbery, at a rate of $25.00 per trailer load. Council Member Matt Owens moved to accept the proposal; Council Member Rhonda Dean seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The measures are modest, operational steps meant to protect young trees and address ongoing grounds maintenance. Council members discussed these items as part of routine upkeep; no further contractor terms or long-term maintenance agreements were recorded in the minutes.
Next procedural steps noted in the meeting record include the Clerk obtaining estimates for other park work (see separate council communication about the basketball court resurfacing estimate).
