Council approves Van Black snow-removal contract at $80/hour with two-hour minimum
Summary
The council approved a renewal contract with Van Black for snow removal at $80 per hour with a two-hour minimum, and discussed adding an inches-based trigger and termination clauses for future contracts.
Mayor Louis E. Donaldson presented a renewal snow-removal contract with Van Black, describing it as a "standard hourly contract, $80 per hour with a 2 hour minimum." Council members debated whether the contract should specify an inches-based trigger for deployment or rely on the contractor's judgment and an existing termination clause.
Dan Dunham and other council members noted past practice had allowed Van Black to decide when to deploy services and said that if there were problems the city could use the contract’s termination clause. After discussion the council moved to allow the mayor to sign the renewal contract; the motion passed in the transcript.
