The Sac City Council voted March 12 to hire J3Red to develop a launch campaign for the Sac City OHV Park and approved a series of routine city actions, including a resolution removing service fees on privately owned garden water meters and a crack-sealing contract for city streets.
Council member Teresa Bruening moved to hire J3Red to create the OHV park launch campaign; Larry Mahler seconded the motion, which passed on a roll-call vote with Lownik, Mahler, Murley, Shull and Bruening voting aye and no nays recorded. The council did not provide further detail in the record on the scope or contract value for J3Red’s work.
The council also introduced and adopted Resolution No. 2024-15, which eliminates service fees on privately owned garden water meters. Council member Tom Lownik made the motion to adopt the resolution; Larry Mahler seconded it. The resolution passed unanimously by roll-call vote.
