The board approved multiple procurement actions including a hay lease and cemetery mowing contract, rejected a farmland bid for re-advertisement, and passed Resolution 2026-08 to pay $593,358.94 in invoices and salaries across General, Electric, Water and Sewer funds.
At its April 14 meeting the Fayette Board of Aldermen approved several bid awards and a large set of invoices and salary payments totaling $593,358.94.
Bids opened for a three-year farmland lease near the Fayette Water Treatment Plant returned a single bid of $1,000 per year from Mike Hustedde; the board rejected that bid and voted to re-advertise. For hay to be mowed and removed from the DC Rogers Lake area, the board received two bids and awarded the contract to Harry Marshall Dougherty at $4,306 per year. For mowing a portion of the southeast corner of the Fayette Cemetery the board approved a $984 per-year contract with Travis Wies and Son's Lawncare over lower per-service bids.
