Plainfield council approves cemetery mowing contract and schedules FY26 budget hearing
Summary
At a March 31 special meeting, the Plainfield City Council unanimously approved a Willow Lawn Cemetery mowing contract with Turf & Landscape at $340 per mowing, set the FY26 budget adoption hearing for April 16 at 5:00pm, and moved the April regular meeting start time to 5:00pm.
The Plainfield City Council on March 31, 2025, approved several administrative items, including a contract for cemetery maintenance, scheduling for the FY26 budget adoption, and an amendment to the April meeting start time.
The council discussed a proposed mowing agreement for Willow Lawn Cemetery with Turf & Landscape, Inc., of Sumner. The new contract raises the per-mowing fee from $310 to $340. Council Member Clyde Balvanz said the council considered the increase reasonable. Balvanz moved to approve the 2025 Willow Lawn Cemetery mowing agreement at $340 per mowing; Chad Shurtleff seconded the motion and the council voted unanimously to approve it.

The meeting opened and concluded with routine agenda actions: the agenda was approved (motion by Joseph Schmall; second by Timothy Neil) and the meeting adjourned at 6:34pm (motion by Clyde Balvanz; second by Jamison Downing).
